HOW NOT TO RESPOND TO AN IRS EXAM

August 01, 2008

When the IRS comes calling, nearly all tax advisors would recommend against the course allegedly taken by Randy Nowak of Mulberry, Florida. The Department of Justice says he tried to have the IRS agent murdered:

According to the complaint, Nowak attempted to hire a hit man to kill the IRS Revenue Officer because she was investigating his personal and professional tax liabilities to the IRS. Nowak is the owner of RJ Nowak Enterprises, Inc., a Polk County construction company. On July 29, 2008, Nowak met with an undercover FBI Task Force agent posing as a hit man and paid him $10,000 as a down payment for killing the IRS employee. Nowak also asked the undercover agent if he would be willing to burn down the IRS's office in Lakeland.

Right. Just kill a federal agent and destroy a federal office building, and then the exam just... goes away? I'm not sure he really thought this through very well.
