Yes this is how it happens and most are to scared to do anything or cannot afford legal fees to fight!



At one point the IRS offered to settle the case with Dehko by giving back 20% of the funds that were taken. He, of course, rejected the offer, opting to sue the agency instead.


Well here is the reason!
There is a federal law that requires any bank deposit of $10,000 dollars or more to be reported. The IRS asserts that Dehko did an end run around the law by making many smaller deposits.
It is not illegal to make deposits of less than 10 grand, but it apparently sends up some red flags. Mr. Dehko’s attorney, Larry Salzman, said the deposits were frequently in the $9,000 range because his insurance policy will not cover him for loss or theft of more than $10,000 in cash.

Wow, that's crazy. I thought what was quite significant is that the IRS performed an audit and determined he did nothing wrong. At that point, they should have returned his money. I do hope he prevails in his case.

That $10K rule has been there like forever.
Everyone knows that a $10K or more deposit triggers a report.

Not like I do that all that often but I still know that.
Nobody wants to poke the IRS with their bank dealings.

Yes, I have even seen banks themselves break down deposits into smaller amounts.

And when it comes to the IRS you are guilty until you prove your innocence.
I had dealings with them once and it took 6 months to straighten out.
You never get the same person twice and they threaten you with fines/jail time even while you are communicating with them.
And even after that they don't let go.

I think the obama administration should investigate this and see if it is racially motivated. Or if it is because he is a Christian from Baghdad, Iraq.
And Yes I agree he should be paid back with interest and an additional for pain and suffering because this money was taken from them causing hardship to the small business owner.
