NEWS:
* Taxpayer $$ Patch Market Bubble—AGAIN
Get ready taxpayers. Americans are facing a heavy toll as stock market madness continues unchecked.

Exclusive to The SPOTLIGHT
By James Harrer

If you are an American worker, pensioner or small saver who owns no stocks or bonds and you think you have stayed prudently clear of the frenetic financial markets, you are mistaken—as a taxpayer, you will have to pick up the bill for most of the plunder and pratfalls on Wall Street.

First, some facts: since mid-summer, 131 major Internet companies have "crashed and burned" as financial re porter Mark Veverka put it.

The losses in vanished market capitalization have not yet been totaled, but the closest round figure is a trillion dollars, veteran traders say.

At least 11,000 jobs have been lost so far in this debacle. Even the surviving "highest-grade" Internet businesses, known as "Netcos," are drowning in debt. Borrowing at top-notch, hi-tech corporations such as AT&T, Verizon and SBC has shot up from $93 billion to a staggering $210 billion since 1998.

The burden of having to service current loans raised by smaller Netcos such as PSI Net and Nextel Communications, is getting worse even faster, growing at an unprecedented annualized rate of 60 percent.

But it is not just the technology sector that is facing a crisis. A number of long-established U.S. corporations with household names are in serious trouble, whether they admit it or not.

* IRS Wants to Police Internet - We Say Go For it!
It is a good thing the fellowship understands the law and did not make application to the IRS and the State for a categorized, serialized, monitored, tax-exempt status at its founding in 1984. We certainly would not be where we are today.

Actually it may be good for these non-profits to get a good swift kick in the arse to wake them up. Just ask Randal Terry of operation rescue, and God bless Indianapolis Baptist Temple for their understanding and stance on free speech.

The more domestic "non-profit" organizations (churches, synagogue, temples, parrot church organizations, etc.) that lose their pseudo tax exempt status the better. Then they can say whatever they wish. Of course much of their funding might dry up, but if the organization really were needed they would be supported anyhow.

Let the IRS try to play internet cop, all it will do is raise more awareness, require the IRS to seek more funding, thus cause more of a financial strain upon the backs of laboring Americans who still refuse to wake up. Is it ignorance or steady-as-she-goes (i.e. - status quo) for champion of the people Dick Armey, R-Texas who is opposed to such a measure by striking down the IRS' duty to maintain the rules and law for which these tax-exempt organizations subscribe when they are assigned their privilege?

If you would like to send Judith E. Kindall, the IRS principal who is responsible for taking public comment on this issue you can reach her by mail or email. The addresses and article of this story is given below.

Tell her to go for it!

Oh well. At least they can't shut us up!

PS... If you think we are nuts and it seems we are totally on the wrong side of the issue here let's discuss it, however I would ask that you first listen to "Does The Church Serve Caesar?" on our audio/video clips page at Tax Freedom 101.

"The church is safe from vicious persecution at the hands of the secularist.... So long as the church knows her place and remains quietly at peace on her modern reservation. Let the babes pray and sing and read their Bibles, continuing steadfast in their intellectual retardation; the church's extinction will come not by sword or pillory, but by the quiet death of irrelevance. It will pass away with a whimper not a bang. But let the church step off the reservation, let her penetrate once more the culture of the day and the Janus-face of secularism will change from benign smile to savage snarl." --Dr. R. C. Sproul, in "Classical Apologetics"

THE POWER TO DESTROY
IRS considers regulating Web speech
Public comments sought on new rules for non-profits
------------------------------------------------------------------

The Internal Revenue Service is considering the issuance of new guidelines on Internet communications by tax-exempt organizations.

The tax collection agency quietly released a document called "Announcement 2000-84" soliciting public comment on possible new regulations for charities, think tanks and educational organizations.

Among the questions the IRS is addressing in its study of exempt organizations and the Internet:

"Does providing a hyperlink on a charitable organization's website to another organization that engages in political campaign intervention result in per se prohibited political
intervention?"

* IRS Says... Marriage Papers Please!
IRS forces Americans to prove marriages. The Internal Revenue Service is forcing millions of women to show their marriage certificates or lose tax benefits, since the agency's computers can't match married names with Social Security numbers. (11/17/00)

(AP) NEW YORK – Millions of Americans may have to dig out their marriage certificates after the IRS sent out letters warning women that the married names on their tax returns do not match their Social Security numbers.

Most of the cases involve women who took their husbands' names when they got married. For various reasons, their new names were entered incorrectly into the Social Security system or weren't entered at all.

The IRS said that unless the taxpayers straighten out the problem with the Social Security Administration, when they file their tax returns in the spring they could be denied the earned income tax credit or the personal exemption a spouse gets when a couple files jointly.

"You may have your refund delayed," added John M. Dalrymple, an Internal Revenue Service commissioner in the wage and investment division, "or you may have to have a lengthy conversation with us."

INFORMATION:
* What About State Income Taxes?
The following question comes from a subscriber.

Q. What, in general, is your position on the legality of income taxes assessed by individual states? Do you encourage non filing of these as well?

A. We are often asked about State Income Taxes and the liability for these taxes by citizens. "In general" we do not encourage anyone to do anything especially when it comes to their personal filing requirements or non-requirements. In other words, we do not encourage or give advice as to what someone should do with respect to their personal duties and responsibilities. We believe that average Americans who can read can make the determination for themselves. That is why we never give legal advice. It just is not necessary. People understand the law when they read it themselves. We merely share what the law says.

The legality of the income tax assessed by individual states is the same as the legality of the income tax assessed by the Federal government. It is completely legal. However, again the "income" tax is very limited to whom it applies, who is required to pay it, and for whom. We explain this in complete detail in our Tax Freedom 101 Home Study Course.

Back to the question, and again "in general" the language used for the state income tax laws are in conformity with the Federal tax laws. Basically the law reads the same.

In the published Treasury Decision 7577, which covers 'State Qualified Taxes' it basically coordinates collections based on the uniformity of the law with respect to income taxes. The basis for the Treasury Decision as published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin January 22nd, 1979 discussed how the administration (read collection) of qualified State individual income taxes would be combined with the federal collection system:

"In essence, the amendments provide a system for the Federal Government to collect individual income taxes imposed by a state which elects to participate in the system. Those taxes will be collected as if they were federal income taxes and the revenue collected will be turned over to the electing state...

"Piggybacking", as the federal collection system is generally known, is designed to increase the efficiency of collecting state taxes by eliminating duplication of effort by state and federal tax administrators, eliminating duplicate record keeping by taxpayers, establishing uniform treatment for individual taxpayers at both the state and federal levels, providing faster collection of state income taxes, and freeing state courts from individual income tax controversies.

A qualified state tax may be imposed on nonresidents as well as residents, at the opinion of the state. A qualified resident tax may be based either on federal taxable income or a percentage of federal tax liability, in either case with certain mandatory or optional adjustments. This conformity with the federal income tax laws is necessary for the administrability of the piggybacking system."

When you learn the federal requirements to make a return you will be at the same time learning the state requirements - American Citizens and permanent resident aliens, living and working within the States of the Union ARE NOT SUBJECT to the filing of an IRS Form 1040 and ARE NOT LIABLE for the payment of a tax on "income". Ergo if the state qualified individual income tax law fits...

We should let our readers know that the Save-A-Patriot Fellowship also assists those who are having challenges with the state taxing agencies. You can bet your bottom FRN that the letters which leave the caseworker and paralegal departments from headquarters which are sent to the state taxing agencies address the fundamental issue of requirement.
