After more than seventeen months, the State Department still cannot provide IRS’ sworn, signed “certification” of my alleged “seriously delinquent tax debt” used to justify its denial of my passport renewal.
Passport Lawsuit Initiated by Jeff Maehr
The narrower purpose of this amended complaint is to challenge the Government’s purported revocation of Mr. Maehr’s passport under the FAST Act, 26 U.S.C. § 7345. This recently-enacted statute directs the IRS to provide the State Department with a list of citizens who owe tax debts above $50,000. The State Department then revokes the passport of, or does not issue a passport to, any person on that list.
