Ever had problems with the IRS? If so, you don’t have to be told how unfair and unreasonable they can be with their assessments and threats of liens and seizures. One person was hit with interest and penalties totaling thousands of dollars when his tax payment was a penny short. The agency is ruthless when it comes to extracting its pound of flesh.

That’s why I wrote It’s All TheIRS. While the central plot and the novel’s main characters are fiction, the stories of IRS abuses that I cite are not. They are very real and many of them destroyed businesses, lives, and families and even led to suicides in some cases.

It’s All TheIRS is the story of a man who gets hit with a wrongful assessment of $600,000 and decides to fight back. Resisting the IRS is not to be undertaken lightly. The average citizen might have a few thousand dollars to combat the bottomless resources of the US Treasury and Justice departments. It’s a stacked deck and that’s the reason why the IRS comes after the typically defenseless middle-class taxpayer as opposed to the corporate behemoths like IBM, Exxon/Mobil or Amazon.
