At that point I would just move across the earth. Fuck paying scumbags like that - only contributing to the purchasing power of the people that are trying to fuck you over for being born.
Yeah its complicated. They wanted to get their paws into an inheritance/tax free payout i received. They couldnt directly get to it, so they used a very dubious claim that i hadnt filed something properly, and fined me 5% a day plus fees.
Wouldn't it have been worth it to get a lawyer to fight it? Unless of course it's not possible to have them pay your lawyers fees when they lose. I don't really know much about how the IRS works. All I know is that taxation is theft.
You could but the process gets even more complicated. Based off the complexity, i would have paid more in legal fees to fight the issue, than to just accept my fate. And the IRS heavily condones this, by making you sign additional forms for every single tax year, and issue. So a small issue could take years to pan out, which means even more fees.
