D. C. Federal District Court "STRIKES DOWN" IRS SIMPLIFIED EXCISE TAX PHONE REFUND PROCEDURE
HOLDING THAT, "..An IRS published 'notice' (setting out the requirements for taxpayers to claim credit for illegally levied telephone excise taxes) should have been issued through 'Administrative Procedure Act' provisions-instructions in IRS Notices 2006-50; 2007-11 have been vacated by this court. In effect, all 110 to 115 MILLION TAXPAYERS' refund of long distance federal excise tax refunds-whether credit/refunds have been returned to taxpayers by IRS, are yet to be requested as phone tax refunds by taxpayers to IRS, or as of April 5, 2012, Taxpayers have been given a period of time to "RETHINK" options taken for credit vs refund of telephone EXCISE TAXES ON ILLEGALLY COLLECTED IRS TAXES. The IRS was scathingly CHASTISED for 'COAXING, i.e., INFLUENCED on their 2006 tax year returns (filed first, January 2007) to take a simplified refund of taxes up to $60 maximum-no DOCUMENTATION) or opt TO ITEMIZE ACTUAL NONCOLLECTIBLE TAXES which could require documentation of refund amount claimed for the 41-month phone tax refund period.
See the analysis of an IRS SIX YEAR TAX REFUND CASE-LARGEST IN IRS TAX REFUND HISTORY-which also, has become one FASCINATING POST-COURT RULING TAX REFUND CASE IRS SCENARIO; one the IRS, says the court, "IRS CANNOT WALK AWAY FROM".' More on this case ruling can be found in Leland Beck's April10, 2012 analysis at www.fedregsadvisor.com/2012/04/10/irs-violated-apa-must-propose-rule-by-lelandbeck-04/10. IRS has subsequently issued GUIDEWIRE ANNOUNCEMENT 2012-16. It summarized in part, as litigation of the above issues continues, taxpayers are encouraged to file (or amend a filed return) for a Telephone Excise Tax Refund if they have not already done so. See my FB posts for the six-year background on this intriguing case my wife and I have closely followed for six years. The new phone tax refund case has a deadline of July 27, 2012, to make such request to IRS.
