Tax Resolution: taxpayer's right to representation
4.11.55.2.1.2 (04-20-2010)
Request for Representation - Suspension of Interview
Taxpayers have the right to representation at any time during the examination process.
IRC 7521(b)(2) provides that if, during any interview, the taxpayer requests to consult with his/her representative (who is permitted to represent the taxpayer before the IRS), the examiner will immediately suspend the interview regardless of whether the taxpayer may have answered one or more questions.
Exception:
An interview will not be suspended if required by a court order or it was initiated via an administrative summons issued under subchapter A of Chapter 78.
Allow the taxpayer a minimum of 10 business days to secure representation before taking any follow-up action to schedule the appointment (extensions can be granted on a case-by-case basis).
Caution:
A taxpayer can file a civil suit against the IRS under IRC section 7433 if an IRS employee intentionally or recklessly disregards the provision of the tax code by denying the taxpayer the right to consult with representation or bypassing the representative without proper approval.

Working: thoughts of attorneys' value

A pro se plaintif responding to the motion
The court's response: "This filing by defendant does not respond in any form to the arguments raised in the Government's motion for summary judgment, and the respondent has failed to otherwise respond to the motion."
United States v. Renfrow, 2009-2 USTC para. 50,580 (E.D.N.C. 2009).
Hey
Update is such: three weeks of school left, got part-time job (legal research) but hope that I will be able to find something in tax controversy. Love tax, and this is the fact.
Summer is passing quickly and I do not feel it is the summer except for the weekends when I sweat at home (from both weather and intensity of studying).
I put sport kind of behind because of time and possibly laziness. Still do some runs for 30-35 minutes but regretfully no swimming.
That's it.

Saturday's run
I had my morning run today. It was awesome: rising sun, morning light, empty streets and roads, and a disco music in my headphones.
I think I did not tell before that I used to run for about 8 years almost every morning until I got to a law school and started stressing out and complaining about lack of time. I quited running but then decided to return and at the first day of my "coming back" I injured my knee.
For more than a year, I envied every runner I saw on a trail or side of a road. I tried to get back a couple of times, but a sever pain in my knee was stronger than me. But then overcoming my fear of knee pain, I went to a physical therapist and with help of several exercises and hours of training I returned back to my 35-minutes runs. Unfortunately, one day I tried to run during strong winds and a knee pain returned bringing back my fear of pain and uncertainty that I can run again.
In last month I have realized that physical exercises mean a lot to me: they bring energy to my body and happiness to my life. So I have decided that I need get back to my running routine because I feel it is important to me to be able to do it without fear of failure.
Now I can run only 13 minutes on a trail and about 15 minutes on a tread mill in a gym. Luckily, I do not have a knee pain, yet <knock on wood>. But I hope to increase my time to at least 35 minutes. Who knows, maybe one day I will decide to run a marathon :-)))
