Feds sue anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan over back taxes

February 22, 2012

SACRAMENTO, CA (KXTV) – The federal government has filed a lawsuit to force anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan to provide her financial records to the Internal Revenue Service.


An IRS revenue officer said Sheehan refused to answer any questions about her finances after receiving a summons at her Vacaville home.


The U.S. Attorney’s office on Tuesday filed a petition to enforce the IRS summons.


The summons ordered Sheehan to produce bank account statements for the period from August through early November 2011.

The summons ordered Sheehan to produce bank account statements for the period from August through early November 2011.
According to IRS revenue officer Jose Arteaga, the financial information may be relevant to the collection of Sheehan's federal income tax liabilities for tax years 2005 and 2006.


Arteaga said Sheehan first met with him on Nov. 22 and sought an extension to Jan. 17. It was during the January meeting that she refused to answer any questions or produce the requested documents.


Sheehan said she's always been up front with the IRS and has no intention of paying her taxes. She says the government has already taken enough from her.


"If they (federal government), can give me my son back, I'll pay my taxes, but that's not going to happen," Sheehan said.


Sheehan became an anti-war activist after her son, U.S. Army Specialist Casey Sheehan, was killed in Iraq. She attracted national attention after setting up a camp in 2005 near President George W. Bush's ranch in Texas.


More recently, Sheehan has been involved in the Occupy movement and was arrested during an October demonstration in Sacramento.


The IRS lists Sheehan as self-employed. She was not immediately available for comment on the tax lawsuit.

No problem. In general, it's a pretty standard family-in-crisis drama, but the acting puts it over the top. Clooney & the 2 actresses who play his daughters in particular are amazing. It's cool that it's set in Hawaii, as well....

Oh I love hawaii. I loved Hawaii even before our President was fake-born there, you know? I've never been there though. It's one place I really want to go. So this will be nice. I saw Midnight in Paris the new Woody Allen film? And I will tell you , it was like spending two hours in Paris! What a magical movie that was.

I didn't see that one, but that's exactly what this flick was like - even though it was a drama, it was like a getaway to Hawaii for a couple of hours.

I went to Hawaii once. It really is like paradise. I have always had a primal fear of sharks when swimming in the ocean, but Hawaii was so otherwordly that it lulled me into thinking it really was a paradise, so I lost my fear of sharks there. I swam WAY out, and was thrilled about not having to be afraid of them. Then the next day, someone spotted a 20-footer out right where I had been swimming. I pretty much freaked.

I'll have to check out the Allen movie...

LOL Pretty funny Onceler.

If you don't hate woody allen (I know some people do) definitely see Midnight in Paris. really one of his very best in a long time. And just a visually gorgeous film.
 
Here is a thought.

How about we give a lifetime tax exemption to the parents of any military personnel killed in action? I guarantee the parents would not say it was worth it, but it might remind the federal gov't of the value of the families of the dead.

Odd that you don't seem to have a problem with that many Americans dying, but the number of people not paying taxes bothers you.

I would cut it off at parents of military personnel killed in action. But maybe, just maybe, the politicians would send fewer Americans out to die for bogus reasons if it meant 2 people didn't have to pay taxes for every death.

There is nothing that is going to stop politicians starting wars, and since they seem incapable of not spending money on themselves and their buddies, the money thats not being paid is not going to go to those military benefits, you know that healthcare, GI bill, that list that keeps getting shorter every year.
