PASSPORT UPDATE #11 20-cv-0329 McNeil v US Department of State & IRS

Therefore, as the evidence shows, and the Government attorneys and the Court misconstrue, no notice of deficiency was ever sent to me, no valid assessment was ever made against me, and the 3-year statute of limitations on assessment and collection has expired, which renders my alleged federal income tax liability uncollectible.

PASSPORT UPDATE #10 Case 20-cv-0329 McNeil v. State Department & IRS

I have proven that the IRS’ certification to the State Department that I have a seriously delinquent federal tax debt, is not only erroneous, it is worse: it is intentionally false, having no basis whatsoever in fact, absent IRS’ falsification of federal records concerning me. And Judge Bates knows it.

PASSPORT UPDATE #9 Case 20-cv-0329 McNeil v. State Department & IRS

Even if McNeil is able to prove that he never received these Notices, though, it would not mean that the IRS’s certification was erroneous. As the Government observes, § 7345 does not say that a flawed or failed notice renders a certification erroneous.

Passport Article Received

Many thanks to a long-time subscriber, Lorane Stanley, for sending me a copy of the article I requested.

Also, Jeff, another subscriber sent me the link to an article about another passport case (Jones v. Mnuchin 19-cv-00222). The Plaintiff, Craig Thomas Jones, himself a member of the Georgia Bar with experience arguing before the Supreme Court, has filed a complaint seeking judicial review of his passport ineligibility resulting from his certified seriously delinquent IRS tax debt. First, he challenges the certification on the grounds that the IRS previously determined the tax debt to be uncollectible and any liens for the tax years at issue are currently not legally enforceable. More interestingly, Taxpayer asserts that IRC §7345 is unconstitutional under the Fifth Amendment and other applicable law because they completely deprive Plaintiff of his right to international travel for reasons that are not closely tailored to the Government’s interest in collecting revenue or preventing tax fraud-particularly when applied to a citizen who engages in no financial activity abroad, illicit or otherwise, which would be furthered by issuance of a passport.

Jones further emphasizes that the right to international travel is as fundamental as any other right guaranteed to U.S. citizens, such as the right to free speech. And just as the other guaranteed rights may not be denied simply because of an old tax liability, neither may the right to travel abroad be so denied.

Here is a link to the docket for Jones v. Mnuchin..

PASSPORT UPDATE #8 Case 20-cv-0329 McNeil v. State Department & IRS

Truth is the government’s greatest enemy. And the greatest enemy of the duplicitous team of AUSAs Ryan O. McMonagle and Benton T. Morton (hereinafter referred to as the “Team”) is the incontrovertible evidence I have provided in this case proving that the IRS’ records concerning me, which led to the State Department’s June 27, 2018 denial of my passport renewal application, contain “manifest errors”.

PASSPORT UPDATE #7 Case 20-cv-0329 McNeil v. State Department & IRS

The IRS records concerning me for the years 2002 through 2006 and 2008 through 2013 contain false, inaccurate and erroneous information upon which the IRS relied to deprive me of my right to travel internationally, resulted in the unlawful levy, garnishment and theft of more than $30,000.00 of my property (plus interest), and which continues today with the theft of more than $1,000.00 per month from my Social Security retirement benefits.

PASSPORT UPDATE #6 Case 20-cv-0329 McNeil v. State Department

Since DoJ attorney Ryan McMonagle is a serial filer of false and misleading pleadings, as you read his Memorandum and encounter a reference to one of my Exhibits, please refer to my prior blog (Update #5) to compare his interpretation of the language of the Exhibit with the actual language contained therein.

PASSPORT UPDATE #5 Case 20-cv-0329 McNeil v. State Department

This update provides newly-acquired evidence proving the IRS’ data, concerning me, contains material errors. These errors show that the IRS unlawfully confiscated more than $30,000 from my earnings and Social Security benefits, unlawfully placed my name on its list of Americans with seriously delinquent federal tax “debt”, and caused Defendant State to unlawfully reject my application to renew my passport.

PASSPORT UPDATE #4 Case 20-cv-0329 McNeil v. State Department

In spite of Mr. Burch’s numerous attempts to obtain the certification, he made the following admission: “Upon investigation, it appears that the Department of State does not have the certification.”

UPDATE Case 20-cv-0329 McNeil v. State Department Re: Passport Denial

This is the third update related to my efforts to hold the IRS and the U.S. Department of State accountable for denying my 2018 passport renewal application because of an alleged “seriously delinquent tax debt”.

**NEW LAWSUIT** 20-cv-00329 McNeil v US Department of State

This is a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)/Privacy Act suit, filed for the purpose of obtaining a copy of the sworn, signed Notice CP508C provided to the United States Department of State by the Department of Treasury’s IRS certifying that I have a “seriously delinquent tax debt”. I never received that document, as required by 26 U.S.C. §7345.

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.
