that explains a lot, CB. Don't get me wrong, I think the guy was a bozo overcome by evil he lashed out at those closest to the situation -- some folks in payroll -- it is very sad obviously he had been having some indigestion about the situation for quite some time ...

CB-- There is a due process provision prior to levy by the IRS - if the IRS sends you a notice of deficiency you have 90 days to challenge it in the Tax Court. There are a few exceptions - if the amount due is shown on the return the taxpayer filed, if the amount due is the result of a mathmatical error by the taxpayer, or if the IRS determines that there is a risk that delay would prejudice collection. In all other cases, the IRS can't proceed to collection until the 90 days have passed. Even then, the tax payer has the right to pay the tax and pursue administrative procedures for a refund. You know this and I know this. The problem is that the above doesn't jive with the popular notion of "due process" for reasons I certainly can't explain. Everyone seems to think if they got to go to "court," whatever the hell that means, that somehow the taxman would be hamstrung in his evil efforts to collect or that some curious notion of "due process" would be satisfied. Go figure...
