If you go to this site,
http://www.irs.gov/irm/part13/ch01s15.html#d0e14068
you will find the 12217 form listed at the bottom of the page. It has 2 pages to it, so click on both to get the complete form. This form specifies the various offenses and details to TIGTA what procedure must be followed. They cann't evade it. For example: check box 7 for violation of the IRS One Stop Service Provider Policy when you get letters from many different locations by many different agents for the same reason. Send copies of the first page of each letter that you have gotten from different agents and different locations. Name each agent on a different 12217 form so that each will have a distinct charge against him/her. Also in regard to box 7, the policy of the IRS manual is that the agent must ensure that the person is liable before doing any levies or liens. In box 1, Willfully failing to obtain required approvals when making a seizure. Seizures must have the approval in writing from the Secretary of the Treasury AND the Attorney General. Did they do that with you? Box 3, Violating the constitutional rights of a taxpayer or employee. Isn't it a violation of the constitution to collect a direct tax without apportionment? The individual income tax is a direct tax and it has not been apportioned, at least that's what the U.S. Supreme Court has said.
