“Be diligent to [investigate and expose the truth for yourself and thereby] present yourself [and the public servants who are your fiduciaries and stewards under the Constitution] approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word [and the deeds] of truth.  But shun profane babblings [government propaganda, tyranny, and usurpation] for they will increase to more ungodliness.  And their message [and their harmful affects] will spread like cancer [to destroy our society and great Republic].”

NOTE:  The purpose of a response letter is NOT to reduce your tax liability or violate any law, but to lawfully assert and defend your constitutional rights, expose violations of law by the government, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances as authorized by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.  Our response letters are only available to those who are "nontaxpayers", which we define as private human beings and not statutory "persons" who are NOT subject to Internal Revenue Code Subtitle A, and who consent unconditionally to and comply fully with our SEDM Fellowship Member Agreement.  Since our items are not available to statutory "taxpayers", then it is impossible and irrational to describe them as "tax shelters" or to reduce the liability of those who might read them or unlawfully interfere with the proper or lawful administration of the tax codes by using them.  None of the materials available on this website are authorized to be used to accomplish any commercial purpose that might subject us to government regulation.  See our Response Letter Frequently Asked Questions, #22 for details.  The content of this page and everything available through it are covered by our Disclaimer.

1.  Letter and Notice Number Placement

All letter and notice numbers appear in either the upper right (CP notices) or lower right (Letters) corner of the IRS correspondence you received.  Look on your letter in this location and then scan down the list on the left-hand side for the number of your correspondence to find out what it is.  When you locate the notice or letter number that matches the one you received, if the notice or letter number has a blue underline, you can click on it to see a sample of the notice or letter.

  2. If you find that the notice or letter you received does have a response in the list below but your letter is not exactly the same as the sample we provide and you have questions about whether our response letter would be suitable BEFORE you get it, then please:
    • Write down your question or concern onto a Fax Cover Sheet, Form #01.005.
