Legislative Change Request #2 for 2023: Tax Agencies to Comply with Due Process Laws

The legislative year starts at the beginning of September. From September to December, each legislator decides what they want to introduce for the next year. Below is a Legislative Request that I sent for the 2023 session.

November 29, 2022

Dear Governor Newsom Staff, GovOps Staff, Senate Governance and Finance Committee Members and Staff, Assembly Committee on Revenue and Taxation Members and Staff, and FTB Legislative Staff:

I am writing to request that you enact a legislative change in the 2023 legislative cycle.
In California, a creditor is required to prove to a judge that a debt is owed and get the judge’s authorization to implement a wage garnishment, bank levy or lien. The exception is the taxation agencies. I request that this loophole be closed, and that the taxation agencies be required to prove to an independent judge that a debt/penalty is actually owed prior to implementation of collection tools.

The Franchise Tax Board has a proven track record of egregious procedural irregularities, including accounting irregularities and irregularities in the processing of Protests. These irregularities lead to the false imposition of wage garnishments, liens and levies (more details can be found in my other requests: Close the Married Loophole and Legislative Change Request #3 — Repeal R&TC 19179(c)(2)). Here is one example that I personally experienced:

Legislative Change Request #1 for 2023: Close the Married Loophole

November 29, 2022

Dear Governor Newsom Staff, GovOps Staff, Senate Governance and Finance Committee Members and Staff, Assembly Committee on Revenue and Taxation Members and Staff, and FTB Legislative Staff:

I request that you immediately change California State law to recognize married couples as one tax entity in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the IRS.

The IRS treats married couples as a single taxpaying entity from the moment the couple notifies IRS of marriage until the couple notifies IRS that the marital status has changed. However, FTB considers all individuals as unmarried. Each year, after a married couple files that year’s return, FTB updates their internal records with proper marital status for only that particular year. I believe that:

1. FTB utilizes this loophole in the system in order to falsely impose penalties and fees via policy and procedure violations

2 FTB utilizes this loophole to unlawfully enrich themselves by demanding extra additional tax liability and penalty payments above and beyond what FTB knows — by its own records — is actually owed.

3. This policy violates the 14th Amendment of the Constitution

The Colossal Criminal Conspiracy Behind the IRS – The Penalty Scam by Roger (Buck) Knipp

Roger (Buck) Knipp wrote a book a while ago called The Colossal Criminal Conspiracy Behind the IRS – The Penalty Scam. He has just released an updated version of his book with a new section on the corruption at the California Franchise Tax Board.

Here is the blurb: “IRS” and “FTB” fraudulently “assess” $5,000 penalties in response to almost any return or document that they disfavor or don’t understand, and more if the target is married or tries to explain. Ironically, there are no enacted code sections or regulations permitting “frivolous submission” penalties on the average American. With the help of professional researchers and 6 years in law school, the author was ultimately able to penetrate the corruption and expose the Grand Conspiracy. The 75-page Verified Criminal Complaint in the book explains the actual written law and condemns bureau employees who unlawfully impose the penalty scam. Discover how victims are pushing back against the California FTB. Keep your liberty, rights, and property by fighting back with the words of the government’s own laws. Don’t read this book if penalty notices are welcome in your mailbox. There is a large new section on the FTB and a California criminal complaint added.

This book lays out the guidelines that we are using for our Federal Criminal Complaints. Order your copy from The Bookpatch.

Ten (10) Requests for 2021 Annual Taxpayer Bill of Rights Meeting

This year’s Franchise Tax Board Annual Taxpayers Bill of Rights Meeting was held online on Thursday, December 2, 2021. Here is the five-minute speech that I made.

The full video of the 1+ hour meeting is here.

FTB prefers, but does not require, that you submit the requests in writing prior to the meeting so they know what to expect. There is no limit to how long a written submission can be, so my written submission was much longer and more detailed than the speech was.

Re: Ten (10) Requests for Annual Taxpayer Bill of Rights Meeting

Hello Taxpayer Advocate Staff:

Here are my ten (10) requests for the 2021 Annual Taxpayer Bill of Rights Meeting.

Close the Loophole That Allows FTB To Evade Due Process for Implementation of Collection Tools

Require that FTB appear before a Superior Court judge to procure a proper judgment in accordance with the laws of the State of California prior to implementation of Collection tools, including wage garnishments, levies and liens. Please see email dated October 23, 2021 for details.

My First Federal Criminal Complaint is Filed!

*Note: This post is in the middle of being reformatted. Please excuse the odd appearance.

I have filed the first in a series of Federal Criminal Complaints against assorted FTB staff for their various crimes. I believe that the majority of staff at FTB are good people “who are just doing their jobs.” Unfortunately, these job duties include bona-fide crimes. I believe that FTB staff will remain complicit until they are held personally accountable for their unlawful behaviors. The “just doing my job” argument is not allowed in court.

This Federal Criminal Complaint is against Carrey Burton-Beilby and Alexis Bear, agents in FTB’s Collections Department, who each directed me to send FTB more money than the bill stated was due, then falsified FTB’s internal accounting records to make it look like that higher amount of money was the total that was always due.

Second Legislative Change Request: Close the Married Loophole

Now Is The Time To Contact Legislators About Any Laws You Want Passed!!!

The legislative year starts at the beginning of September. From September to December, each legislator decides what they want to introduce for the next year. September is really the month you want to try to get into your legislator’s faces about the bills you would like to see introduced so that they have time to consider it, draft the bill, refine it, etc.

Bills are introduced in January. Between January and August, the bills are revised, voted on, revised some more, voted on again… The final vote is usually at the end of August, so if it didn’t pass by August, its done for the year. If it is a bill they feel strongly about, your legislator may choose to re-introduce it the next year.

How FTB Covers Up Their Accounting Irregularities

As you all know, I filed a Motion to Compel on Specially Prepared Interrogatories, Set #1: Clarification of Policy and Procedure. I also prepared a second set of Interrogatories to address FTB’s accounting irregularities.

And I prepared a set of documents called “Requests for Admissions” to help clarify the methods that FTB uses to cover up the assorted policy/procedure and accounting irregularities that were addressed in the Interrogatories. Here are the questions. Many of the questions refer to attached documents. Here are documents pages 1 – 18 and 19 – 35.

FTB Is Retaliatory Harassing Me

On Sunday, August 29, 2021, I attempted to file a police report with the San Diego Police Department against two FTB staff for overcharging me interest, which is the crime of fraud. Here is the proof of fraud by Alexis Bear and by Carrey Burton-Beilby. FYI, a police report is an important first step in getting a grand jury investigation launched. As a side note, I later found out that the right venue is the FBI’s website, and I did file reports against Bear and Burton-Beilby with the FBI.

On Monday, August 30, 2021, Deputy Attorney-General Anna Barsgeyan, who is FTB’s attorney for the civil case that is pending in San Diego Superior Court, made a reservation for a Motions for Sanctions hearing in our civil case. On Wednesday, September 1, 2021, she filed her Motion, requesting that the judge stop me from gathering evidence for my federal criminal complaint and that he penalize me $8,000 as a punishment for gathering the evidence that I did. She also posted my and my husband’s full social security numbers on a public website.

The Playbook That Government Agencies Use To Get Away With Criminal Schemes

I watched a video about a woman in Arizona (AZ) who had her children stolen by Child Protective Services (CPS).

As I watched the video, my jaw dropped as I realized that CPS in AZ used strikingly similar tactics to violate the laws as the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) in California (CA) used against me. It can’t be a coincidence that my experience was so similar to hers when it was a completely different issue, involving a completely different agency, with completely different circumstances.

I am starting to realize that there must be a playbook of tactics that government agencies use to extract extra revenue for themselves. Obviously, the specific tactics are customized by the agencies, but the general playbook appears to be identical: 1. Lay a trap, 2. Deny due process 3. Rig the justice system and 4. Have other government agencies cover it up.
