CONTEXT: Many anons appear to need a bit of a nudge or help in pushing back legally and Constitutionally against the IRS over-reach in a LOW RISK, non confrontational way. There appears to be a "Breach in the IRS Wall" created by W. Virginia v EPA (2022) and it is time to ATTACK now.

RE: [Case Info]
Dear IRS,
Be respectful and professional. This is a effectively a letter dealing with individual, personal business with this government entity.
It has come to my attention that IRS (Federal) taxation of my labor may be unconstitutional. A brief review of Constitutional Law and the national vs federal structure of the state and federal governments in our Constitutional Republic indicates that the IRS may collect ONLY indirect taxes from state citizens, of which I am one. The overall flow of labor tax payments per the structure of the American Constitutional Republic is from individual state citizen to state, then state to Federal government, NOT individual state citizen to the Federal government.
Introduction of the issue and establishment of your status as a "state citizen", putting you outside their direct tax jurisdiction. Sauce "Federalist Papers No. 39 (1776)": https://billofrightsinstitute.org/primary-sources/federalist-no-39 [explanation in his own words by one of the 3 authors of the 1788 Constitution, James Madison]
While I concede that the IRS may have specific legislatively-granted instructions from the the Congress to collect specific taxes on their behalf, these appear to be limited. Per Constitutionally approved legislation, the IRS appears to be able to collect a tax on labor from 1. Federal employee labor, 2. labor performed on Federal lands, and 3. labor performed via jobs listed on the Federal excise tax list. I hereby claim that my labor is NONE of these.
Review of Constitutionally-approved limit to IRS authority for direct labor tax collection from individuals, itemized. Declaration that your labor is not in list. Sauce: "1913 Congressional Record, Vol L, Part 4 pg. 3844": https://capitalvsincome.com/what-is-capital/ [BLOCKED if IP not US/Canada]
In addition, it appears that the recent SCOTUS precedent established in West Virginia v EPA (2022) also applies to the IRS as an Article II entity. This case established as LAW that an Article II entity (Executive Branch) may NOT usurp the Constitutional powers of either an Article I entity (Congress) NOR an Article III entity (Judiciary) per the Constitution and Separation of Powers Doctrine. And your letter to me declaring a "penalty and payment due" per "violation of IRS tax rule XX" is admissible evidence of usurpation of both.
Veiled threat and notice that if the IRS gives you standing by continuing their current actions and inflicting "harm" on you by their actions, you may sue them in Federal District Court for $402 filing fee over this specific matter to resolve it if necessary. The letter they sent is the only evidence you need to win your case. Sauce https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/20-1530_n758.pdf
With the two above points in mind, I humbly request IRS assistance in resolution of the tax dispute you have presented to me. I hereby request that the IRS review this case as a potential error or your part. Further, I request that the IRS make any adjustments determined to be required in order to ensure Constitutional compliance with all IRS actions in this matter; and going forward into the future regarding interactions with me or any of my family members sharing my Last Name.
Here is your ASK. You are not instructing them or demanding they do anything. You are manufacturing their consent to get them to take action to correct the situation. You are not asking them to admit anything, you are just asking that they "make it go away" at their own discretion per an "error" or any other reason they choose to come up with.
Lastly, I request that the IRS issue or request that the Treasury Department issue a check in the amount of $1000 payable to me out of the "Litigation and Settlement Fund" or other similar budget for my labor consumed working as a defacto "Private Investigator" in dealing with an issue that may be your error. And when sending me a tax form for Tax Year 2023 related to this $1000 payment you will please note that it is untaxable as labor, and it is indeed NOT "income", as "Private Investigator" is not on the Federal excise tax list.
Legitimate request for compensation of your labor per you doing their job for them in the capacity as a "Private Investigator". If needed you may supply them with an invoice at a labor rate of $71.43/hr for 14 hours of labor. Note $71/hr is near a typical Per Diem number and well below a typical $200/hr lawyer labor rate.

I love this!. But I'm sincerely curious: are there any known cases where such a letter worked?
If I've learned anything from the past few years, it's that the law doesn't count for a damned thing if it isn't followed or enforced. So it looks like the legal argmuent here is solid...but I'm very skeptical about such a letter having the intended effect.
Thanks!
I have sent letters similar to this that were effective and resulted in either a complete elimination or very large reduction. They know that cost of a case is $402 and most people will need to hire a lawyer, so they try to game it to extract as much as possible knowing that a large % of people will not actually sue them.
Okay, thanks! Good to know this isnβt merely theoretical.
I have beaten the IRS 4 times, working on 5 now as an individual without a lawyer by 1. pointing out they were not following their own rules, 2. Identifying mathematical errors and assumptions they make ALL THE TIME, and 3. Constitutional beatdown where I ignore all their rules and just thrash them with the Constitution (latest).
RULES ARE NOT LAWS, and enforcement of non laws violates 42 USC 1983, 18 USC 241/241 per "color of law" violations [CIVIL CASE]; Then add-on CRIMINAL CASE is 18 USC 241/242 + 18 USC 2384 and any IRS agent signing their name to any letter they send you goes to prison for 20 years. Note Civil case standard of proof is only "preponderance of evidence", and they usually give you all the evidence you need to win.
NOTICE OF CRIMINAL LIABILITY letter via certified mail that requests that they cease and desist, giving them 30 days to do so "pre-strips" them of the "Intent Defense" for criminal trial and increases your chance of victory above 50/50 per criminal standard of "beyond a reasonable doubt". They may ignore you until you fire off one of these after you have exhausted all CIVIL remedies.
Constitutional Law attack is the best because they really have no Defense since it supercedes ALL. If you start arguing with them about IRS rules, it is hard to win and they will just grind you down.
You can only try it. There are no "guarantees" in life except that big one in Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution...hehe (yes, I'm baiting you into reading it, but here's the link below).
