On 9-11-2009, IRS counsel was served with my Petition by the U.S. Tax Court. I understand that IRS must file an “Answer” within 60 days. I sent to the IRS counsel several packages with information and documents hoping we can settle my case sooner. He has not even called my by phone. The 60 days are up on 11-11-2009. My tax examination like thousands of others was examined by an IRS rogue revenue agent. I filed several complaints with TIGTA and my local US senator. Even a top TIGTA manager lied to this US senator about my case. I can see that we are experiencing what we went through in the early 1980s. For some reason, IRS and TIGTA believe they are above the law. The U.S. District Courts and other appellate federal courts are not elping either. When a taxpayer has a legitimate complaint, he/she is labeled, a tax protestor, someone who just copy a template from the Internet etc. I still waiting to see when a taxpayer will ever win a lawsuit filed for unalwful collection practices.

Yes , everyone SHOULD have the right to counsel. Even the most vile serial killer is provided with such.
However , in the case of dealing with the IRS, those of us with limited income are left to blow in the wind alone. In the county where I live there is not ONE LITC or probono to turn to.
My husband committed suicide and left me with a tax mess and I do not even have the rights of a common criminal and have been treated as such by the IRS. I have been threatened , called a criminal and repeatedly lied to, bank account levied without a notice and a lien filed while still in Appeals.

WHERE IS THE JUSTICE?!!!
