Wesley Snipes is going up against the Tax Machine…I support him all the way.
The federal indictment charged Snipes with fraudulently claiming refunds totaling almost $12 million in 1996 and 1997 for income taxes already paid. Snipes was also charged with failure to file returns from 1999 through 2004.
The government didn’t pay the refunds.
Part of Kahn’s scheme, prosecutors allege, was to keep the IRS backed up with bizarre demands and heavy paperwork. ARL allegedly told Snipes to send a “determination letter” to check his tax status, and told him he didn’t have to pay any taxes if the IRS did not respond.
Snipes also twice sent letters to IRS special agents investigating the case, in 2003 and early 2004, saying the agents had no authority to probe his tax situation.
