About this title

About the Author

For over three decades, Daniel J. Pilla has been the nation s leader in taxpayers rights defense and IRS abuse prevention and cure. Widely regarded as one of the country s premiere experts in IRS procedures and the nation s number one advocate of taxpayers rights, he s helped countless thousands of citizens solve personal and business tax problems they thought might never be solved. In 1974, the IRS seized my father s business for back tax debts. They padlocked the doors and auctioned the equipment off for a few cents on the dollar. Then in 1977, they turned their attention to our family s home. I came home one day and my mother handed me a letter from the IRS. She said, What do you make of this? I read it and said, It looks like they re going to take the house. She wanted to know what we could do about it. My mom was in tears. Though I had no answer, I went to a law library near our home in St. Paul. I starting fumbling around in the tax code and literally stumbled onto an area of the law deals with taxpayers rights and limits the IRS s power. I didn t get six pages into that part of the code and found that the IRS was proceeding illegally to seize our home. So I did what any eighteen-year old would do I sued the IRS! I soon found myself in a federal courtroom in Minneapolis in front of a judge and opposed by an IRS attorney from Washington, D.C. After hearing arguments from both the IRS s attorney and me, the judge declared that I was right and slammed his gavel. I won the case! Interestingly, dozens of my father s friends were in the courtroom that day, many of whom had their own tax problems. By the time I got home, they were lined up at the door to talk with me. They asked, Can you help with my tax problem? I said, Hey, I m undefeated so why not? Since that time, I have helped thousands of people solve every kind of tax problem you can imagine, and some you can t. Because of my experience, I have come to believe that there is no such thing as a hopeless tax case. There s always a way to fix the problem if you know what your rights are. Daniel J. Pilla
