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.
