Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)

Many taxpayers want to know what type of information is in their IRS file... without the fear of drawing attention to themselves. To accomodate this, Congress passed legislation (FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT) that requires government agencies - including the IRS - to disclose this type of information to the taxpayer when requested.

Documents obtained via the Freedom of Information (FOIA) can be used to explain how, why, when and where a taxpayer's IRS problems began.
This information proves quite helpful as it discloses the information the IRS has used to assess taxes, penalties and interest against the taxpayer.
A taxpayer that is having difficulty determining what the IRS is doing to them is advised to consider using the Freedom of Information Act as a means of obtaining their IRS files.
This information helps you to better understand your tax problems, the cause of them and how to prevent future problems as well as repair and reduce current tax problems.
