We do not often write about competing bloggers, but it is worth mentioning that the National Taxpayer Advocate, Nina Olson, is an occasional blogger and has just put up a new post. Her post addresses the still relatively new and uncharted collection enforcement tool of revoking or denying a passport from a seriously delinquent taxpayer. This is an issue on which we have posted before. We have also written briefly about the new Tax Court rules for those who contest revocation or denial of their passport. To my knowledge there have not been any Tax Court cases yet but to paraphrase from a HBO TV series “Denial is coming.”
Because Nina has an insider’s perspective, her blog may be worth a look (after, of course, you read ours.)
Comment Policy: While we all have years of experience as practitioners and attorneys, and while Keith and Les have taught for many years, we think our work is better when we generate input from others. That is one of the reasons we solicit guest posts (and also because of the time it takes to write what we think are high quality posts). Involvement from others makes our site better. That is why we have kept our site open to comments.
If you want to make a public comment, you must identify yourself (using your first and last name) and register by including your email. If you do not, we will remove your comment. In a comment, if you disagree with or intend to criticize someone (such as the poster, another commenter, a party or counsel in a case), you must do so in a respectful manner. We reserve the right to delete comments. If your comment is obnoxious, mean-spirited or violates our sense of decency we will remove the comment. While you have the right to say what you want, you do not have the right to say what you want on our blog.
