I'm not going to ask for the appeal.& I don't want it on their terms.& I want it on mine.& they did ignore my first letter, and answered none of my questions and certainly didn't prove that they had the jurisdiction to do anything.&

They never answer any of your questions in a letter. You have to&ask&your&questions&in an administrative review hearing.& That's where you will get your questions answered or not answered and you will have evidence&in&case you have to sue them.


I would take them&up on every appeal&I had available and continue&to ask what their authority&is, and keep detailed records of those appeals.& Ask them what their authority is&to solicit information from you.& Keep a record of what they say and what they don't say.You need&evidence if you ever have to go to court.&


The Privacy Act is&powerful question to ask them and you don't have to tell them what you are going to ask them before the hearing.&

&If I ask for an appeal I would feel like that I was admitting that I am a taxpayer, and I know I am not.& Therefore I don't feel compelled to jump through their hoops.&
