1982 The Treasury Department tells the Congress that it needs more enforcement power overseas to stop the drug trade. Congress enacts legislation which defines all overseas Americans as resident in the District of Columbia for certain legal purposes, including requests for information and the serving of summons. Overseas Americans are also to be subjected to a new form of request for the provision of documents pertaining to their work abroad. Failure to provide such documents, even in the case where providing them is against the law of the country of foreign residence, will subject the overseas American to civil and eventually criminal penalties in the United States. (Tax Act of 1982 Sections 336,337 and 342 of the Act and sec. 7701 and new section 982 of the Code). (For legislative background see H.R. 4961 as reported by the Senate Finance Committee, sec. 372, 373 and 374; S. Rep. No. 97-494 (Vol. 1) July 12, 1982, p. 298+; and H. Rep. No. 97-760 (August 17, 1982), pages 590+). (See also: IRC 7408(c)).
(Note: Web site author believes the IRC 861 filer situation was the impetus for Congress to pass legislation concerning tax protesters. The control of tax protesters was the thrust of the IRS argument in the Miller case. The force of this legislation is found at IRC 7408 Action to Enjoin Promoters of Abusive Tax Shelters, etc., (c) Citizens and residents outside the United States and not at IRC 6702 so abusively utilized by the IRS for suppression of taxpayer outcries of tax law.)
