If your question is not answered in this section, please visit the following area in our forums for additional questions and answers:
QUESTION 1.01:
Question 1.01: What do you tell "taxpayers" who need help or want to use your materials?
Answer 1.01: We tell them the following:
- You're looking on the WRONG website! You should be consulting http://www.irs.gov for educational materials.
- "Taxpayers"
ought to pay whatever the IRS says they owe. A "taxpayer"
is what the Bible calls a "HARLOT", and that profession demands bending
over frequently. If you're going to choose to do something, you
ought to at least commit to being good at it. "Whore" is a good
word for it too: They want your body but not your brain engaged.
Your body is a metaphor for the collection of all your rights
to life, liberty, and property. The Bible calls the collection
of all such "taxpayers"
within a given country by the affectionate term "Babylon
the Great Harlot", and describes them in detail in Revelation 17 and 18.
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
[Samuel Adams ]
"I refuse to allow any IRS or State revenue officer to call me or any client a "taxpayer". Just because I may look like one or have the attributes of one does not necessarily make me one. To one IRS lady, and I have no reason to doubt that she fits this category, I use the following example. "Miss you have all of the equipment to be a whore, but that does not make you one by presumption." Until it is proven by a preponderance of evidence I must assume you are a lady and you will be treated as such. Please have the same respect for me, and don't slander my reputation and defame my character by calling me a whore for the government, which is what a "taxpayer" is."

"But money demands of you the highest virtues, if you wish to make it or to keep it. Men who have no courage, pride, or self-esteem, men who have no moral sense of their right to their money and are not willing to defend it as they defend their life, men who apologize for being rich--will not remain rich for long. They are the natural bait for the swarms of looters [in the IRS and the government] that stay under rocks for centuries, but come crawling out at the first smell of a man who begs to be forgiven for the guilt of owning wealth. They will hasten to relieve him of the guilt--and of his life, as he deserves.
"Then you will see the rise of the double standard--the men who live by force [the government and the IRS and dishonest lawyers], yet count on those who live by trade to create the value of their looted money--the men who are the hitchhikers of virtue. In a moral society, these are the criminals, and the statutes are written to protect you against them. But when a society establishes criminals-by-right and looters-by-law [judge-made law, in this case]--men who use force to seize the wealth of DISARMED victims--then money becomes its creators' avenger. Such looters [IRS] believe it safe to rob defenseless [made ignorant of the law by sneaky lawyers and politicians who run the public education system, in this case] men, once they've passed a law to disarm them. But their loot becomes the magnet for other looters, who get it from them as they got it. Then the race goes, not to the ablest at production, but to those most ruthless at brutality. When force is the standard, the murderer wins over the pickpocket. And then that society vanishes, in a spread of ruins and slaughter. "
[Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand, p. 387] - Thanks a lot for subsidizing the spread of socialism and humanism and idolatry and the persecution and slander of innocent,
law-abiding fellow Americans with your "donations". Thanks for
bowing down to the new god and political religion called GOVERNMENT when no law or regulation requires
it. Is THAT how you fulfill God's law and
commandment to "love
your neighbor" and to put Him first and serve ONLY HIM: by subsidizing
the lynching and illegal persecution of "nontaxpayers"
by the IRS and by rewarding and encouraging irresponsibility and government dependency? Does illegally bribing public officials
with money that no law requires you to pay make you into a better Christian?
"You shall have no other gods [INCLUDING GOVERNMENTS OR PUBLIC DISSERVANTS] before Me.
"You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;you shall not bow down to them [the government] nor serve them [with your labor or your earnings from labor]. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments."
[The Ten Commandments, Exodus 20:3-6, Bible, NKJV]
Can a person be a friend of the government and the IRS by sending them an illegal bribe that no law requires them to pay and illegally impersonate a "public officer" in criminal violation of 18 U.S.C. §912 and yet not be an enemy of God?:
"Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you now know that friendship [and "citizenship"] with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend ["citizen" or "taxpayer" or "resident"] of the world makes himself an enemy of God."
[James 4:4, Bible, NKJV]
Don't cry on our shoulder...put on your knee pads and your mini skirt and your cheap makeup and stand on the local street corner for the next IRS John who comes along and wants his way with you: and pay up!
“One who turns his ear from hearing [or reading and learning] the law [God's and man's law], even his prayer [and his LIFE, for that matter] is an abomination.”
[Prov. 28:9 , Bible, NKJV]
On the other hand, if you want to get educated to learn
at least enough to determine by reading the law for yourself whether you
even are a "taxpayer",
instead of believing an ignorant, complacent, 
presumptuous, misguided, thieving,
conniving public dis-servant who has an illegal conflict of interest to tell you, then there still
may be hope for you yet.
“But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a DOER of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.”
[James 1:25, Bible, NKJV]
If you would like to know more about who are "taxpayers"
based on your own reading of the law, see our free pamphlet Who are 'taxpayers' and who
needs a 'Taxpayer Identification Number', Form #05.013. And please
don't take our word for it, because our Member Agreement, Form #01.001 and our Reasonable Belief About
Income Tax Liability, Form #05.007 pamphlet both say you aren't allowed
to. Read the government's own words and laws for yourself, because that's
the only reasonable basis for belief anyway.
“Wisdom calls aloud outside; she raises her voice in the open squares, she cries out in the chief concourses, at the openings of the gates in the city she speaks her words; how long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge. Turn at my rebuke; surely I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you. Because I have called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded, because you disdained my counsel [and My law: God's law], and would have none of my rebuke, I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror [and the IRS] comes. When your terror [and the IRS] comes like a storm, and your destruction comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently, but they will not find me. Because they hated knowledge [and were too lazy and complacent to seek it out], and did not choose the fear of the Lord. They have none of my counsel and despised my every rebuke. Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled to the full with their own fancies. For the turning away of the simple will slay them. And the complacency of fools will destroy them; but whoever listens to me [God and the wisdom that comes ONLY from God] will dwell safely, and will be secure, without fear of evil.”
[Prov. 1:20-33, Bible, NKJV]"The fear of the Lord is the BEGINNING of knowledge."
[Prov. 1:7, Bible, NKJV]"The fear of the LORD is to hate evil [and the evil practiced by the IRS and corrupt judges and politicians]; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate."
[Prov. 8:13, Bible, NKJV]
Yes, fellow Americans...hate IS a family value and even a Christian and a biblical value, so long as the hate is directed at evil behavior instead of evil people, and so long that it doesn't translate into violence against anyone. That's the same thing our police do: hate the crime and punish it, but respect and try to reform the criminal. If our public SERVANTS can do it, then certainly their masters, the American people can do it. To admit otherwise is to admit that the servant is greater than the master.
Remember the word that I said to you, "A [public] servant is not greater than his master [the American People].' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you [because you emphasize this relationship]. If they kept My word [God's Law], they will keep yours [the Constitution] also."
[Jesus in John 15:20, Bible, NKJV]“No legislative act [of the SERVANT] contrary to the Constitution [delegation of authority from the MASTER] can be valid. To deny this would be to affirm that the deputy [public SERVANT] is greater than his principal [the sovereign American People]; that the servant is above the master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the [SOVEREIGN] people [as individuals]; that men, acting by virtue of [delegated] powers may do not only what their [delegated] powers do not authorize, but what they forbid…[text omitted] It is not otherwise to be supposed that the Constitution could intend to enable the representatives of the people to substitute their will to that of their constituents. It is far more rational to suppose, that the courts were designed to be an intermediate body between the people and the legislature, in order, among other things, to keep the latter within the limits assigned to their authority. The interpretation of the laws is the proper and peculiar province of the courts. A Constitution is, in fact, and must be regarded by judges, as fundamental law [a DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY FROM THE MASTER TO THE SERVANT]. If there should happen to be an irreconcilable variance between the two, the Constitution is to be preferred to the statute.”
[Alexander Hamilton, Federalist Paper # 78]
This website is a satisfaction of that very calling to hate evil (fear the Lord) right from the Bible.
QUESTION 1.02:
Question 1.02: I need a lawyer to represent me in court or with the government. Can you recommend one in my area?
Answer 1.02: Anyone who thinks they need a "lawyer" to represent them hasn't been reading the materials we recommend. For an answer to that question, please read the following articles:
- Why you don't want to hire an attorney (OFFSITE LINK)
- Petition for Admission to Practice (OFFSITE LINK)
- Unlicensed Practice of Law, Form #05.026
- Woe to You Lawyers! (OFFSITE LINK)-book
The conclusion of the above four articles is that:
- You can't hire a lawyer to represent you if you want to challenge jurisdiction in a court of law
- When you hire a lawyer to represent you, then you become a "ward of the court" and are treated as mentally incompetent
- The lawyer is there to represent and promote the interests of the government over and above that of your own, and when the two are in conflict, then the government interest will always take precedence because if it doesn't, his license to practice law will be pulled and he will literally starve to death beyond that point
- The only way that you can obtain the services of an attorney is as a coach, and not as a representative, and it is best if he is not licensed by the state even in that capacity, because he has a conflict of interest and allegiance if he does.
The Sovereignty Forms and Instructions Online, Form #10.004 area of the Family Guardian website, under Instruction 5.4 entitled "Get a legal 'coach' if prosecuted by the IRS" says that the only legitimate reason to hire a legal professional is as a legal coach and advisor, but not to represent you in court. Remember that sovereignty and dependency are mutually exclusive. If you want to be sovereign, then you can't depend on a lawyer with a license from the corrupted government you are trying to fight in order to properly defend your constitutional rights. The key to sovereignty is education and self-government. We aren't self-governing if we have to depend on anyone for anything. We are a government of law and not of men. Lawyers are men and they shouldn't be allowed to govern your life or financially enslave you at $300/hour on the pretense that they are trying to defend your liberty. That isn't liberty: it's trading "Big brother" for "little brother", and the lawyer is "little brother" and becomes your new king and ruler when you hire him, and in most cases that is the only role he will accept for himself, because that is the only way he can justify holding your life, liberty, and property hostage for an exorbitant $300/hour.
Our assertion is that if you aren't willing to get educated and take full responsibility for your life in all respects at some point, then you ought to pay the government whatever they say you owe and bend over, because that is the reward for people who are lazy, ignorant, or dependent on anyone or anything but God. See Great IRS Hoax, Form #11.302, section 1.8 for authorities on this derived right from the Bible. Please don't shoot the messenger, which is us, because this is exactly the same message that God gives us in the Bible.
"The hand of the diligent will rule, But the lazy [or irresponsible] man will be put to forced labor."
[Prov. 12:24, Bible, NKJV]
The price of liberty is eternal vigilance, and the price of eternal vigilance is eternal education and eternal action. God calls us to DO justice, not to just talk about it. Talk is cheap.
On the other hand, if you are just getting started in your journey to get educated and take control of your life back from the government and the legal profession, and you want the assistance of a "coach" and not someone licensed by the government to "represent you" in court or in front of the IRS, then we have information for you. An excellent catalog of many of the main resources we rely can be found on the Family Guardian website on the Getting Help page. As a non-profit ministry, we don't have the resources to maintain a national database of people who can help you, so we can't provide someone in your specific area in most cases, but those resources are a good place to start. If you can't find someone on that list, then we recommend at least reading chapter 5 of the Great IRS Hoax, Form #11.302 to get you up to speed and then using the Test for Tax Professionals on the Family Guardian Website to interview attorneys in your area to find one who can answer the greatest number of the questions correctly.
Good luck, and our prayers are with you, my friend. God bless you!
QUESTION 1.03:
Question 1.03: I would like to purchase your complete program that I will need to respond to the IRS. My computer is presently operating with Windows XP and with WordPerfect 9. Do you have disk that are compatible with my program? How do you receive payment. I need immediate delivery if possible. thank you. If I am not available speak to my secretary. She can arrange payment and is familiar with my computer and what will be compatible.
Answer 1.03: First
of all, we don't know what you mean by "program". There are no "programs"
here and we don't advertise or market anything, nor guarantee any specific result
for any of the items offered here, which are all strictly educational in nature.
Our only goal here is to worship, serve, and obey the Lord and to ensure that
public servants obey the law and we wouldn't call that a "program". Second
of all, we don't sell anything on this website and you can't "purchase" anything
here. To "purchase" something, you must have lawful "money" and we must be a "business". The
definition of "money"(OFFSITE
LINK) in Black's Law Dictionary excludes "notes", which means that Federal Reserve
Notes are NOT lawful money. Click here for details on this SCAM.
We also are NOT a "business" and we have no "customers" other than God Himself. Third, this is not a business but a religious ministry which does not sell anything.
You can obtain items from our Ministry Bookstore for free if you can prove you
are needy or by making a donation to the ministry. Fourth of all, since
we don't give legal advice, we can't tell you what you need from a legal or
procedural standpoint other than what item contains the information relevant
to your situation. Beyond that, you and only you are responsible for yourself,
and you must decide entirely on your own and based on the detailed description
of our offerings exactly what you need. Any other approach would require
us to give legal advice and for you to basically admit that you don't want to
take responsibility for yourself and don't want to be sovereign over your life.
This website is only intended for educated people who want to be in complete
control of their lives and insist on not being dependent on anyone.
Therefore, you will need to go to our opening page at http://sedm.org and browse our
offerings and determine exactly what is right for your situation. Before
you decide to obtain anything, you should ensure that you agree to abide by
our Member Agreement, Form #01.001,
because you cannot and should get anything without agreeing to the Member Agreement, Form #01.001.
Among the requirements of that agreement are that before you can use the offerings
of SEDM:
- You commit yourself to getting educated using our materials and by reading the law yourself.
- Based on that education, you have independently determined that you are a "nontaxpayer".
- You agree not to use any of the materials on this website for an unlawful purpose.
After you have decided what you need based on the above education, you will need to have a Visa, or Mastercard or a debit or credit card to make your donation with.
As far as support for "WordPerfect", the only word processing documents offered by SEDM are federal and state response letters. These response letters appearing are available only in Microsoft Word and are not supported by any other word processing program. Therefore, you must obtain either Microsoft Office or Microsoft Word separately in order to use the automated response letters on this website. Most other items available are Adobe Acrobat files which can be viewed and printed with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader available for download at http://adobe.com.
Lastly, we only deal with principals, not agents, and we insist on complete contact information if you want us to talk with you. We can't deal with your Secretary, but only you. If you want us to call you back, then please ensure that Anonymous Call Blocking is disabled on your telephone if you have that feature, or we can't return your inquiry and will ignore it. Good luck and thanks for your interest in our ministry!
QUESTION 1.04:
Question 1.04: I need urgent help. I have been exempt from taxes since 2001. The IRS has created my 2001 tax forms, filling in the information they know of, and sent it to me for signature. It declares that I owe the IRS almost $4,000.00 and it is due in 60 days. Please HELP! The phone number listed is my cell phone and I am reachable at the number 24/7!
Answer 1.04:
First of all, we can't help people out who are "taxpayers"
and you didn't specify if you are or aren't. Your email should be
accompanied by a signed Member Agreement, Form #01.001 indicating that you AREN'T a "taxpayer". You can read the Great IRS Hoax, Form #11.302 to determine for yourself whether you are,
but we can't make that determination for you. When you email us to
ask for help, the email should be accompanied by the attached or faxed Member Agreement, Form #01.001 indicating that you are a "nontaxpayer".
Secondly, we can't recommend what to do for your specific case. Our Member Agreement says we are only allowed to tell you what WE would do in our own case ONLY if faced with a similar situation, and qualify that statement by saying it is not legal advice. We can offer options that might help, information, and services that will help you decide what to do and provide evidence to support your contention that you are a "nontaxpayer" who is not "liable", but we can't tell you what you specifically need to do for a given circumstance because we can't give legal advice. Therefore, you will have to be very specific about what it is you want from us. Your email didn't say. We can offer options to Members, but only you can choose what option is best for you based on the best information available.
Based on your comments, you haven't been reading or following
our materials, because the W-4 Exempt is the wrong form for most Americans.
Americans domiciled in states of the Union are "non-resident
non-persons" but not aliens or "individuals"
and they must file an AMENDED W-8BEN
form, not a W-4 Exempt in order to stop federal withholding. You can't
be a member and use the W-4 or 1099 form for withholding or reporting, unless
you are doing it under duress and you notify the government of the existence
of duress. This subject is exhaustively covered in our Great IRS Hoax, Form #11.302, sections 5.6.12 through 5.6.12.7. Step 4.13 in the Sovereignty
Forms and Instructions Online, Form #10.004 area of the Family Guardian Website contains details on the proper procedure to follow to stop withholding, and
these instructions haven't been followed in your case. The Family Guardian Website also has a whole book devoted to stopping withholding, which also emphasizes
avoiding the W-4 form. It's called Federal and State Tax Withholding
Options for Private Employers, Form #09.001.
In your case, it sounds like the IRS is trying to scare
you into paying money that you don't owe. If you want a response letter
to send to them, then we provide that on our website. Look up the
form number and then find the response letter in or Federal Response
Letter area. Next, you are going to have to decide what else you
want us to do for you that might help you deal with this situation better.
You can look in our catalog and decide for yourself.
However, if you have been "exempt" for three years and haven't been studying
diligently that whole time to prepare for this inevitable day and want to
be rescued at the last minute without having to take charge or take personal
responsibility for getting educated, then we can't help you. This
approach, in fact, is biblical. It is exactly the same approach the
Lord takes towards us:
“Wisdom calls aloud outside; she raises her voice in the open squares, she cries out in the chief concourses, at the openings of the gates in the city she speaks her words; how long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge. Turn at my rebuke; surely I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you. Because I have called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded, because you disdained my counsel, and would have none of my rebuke, I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes. When your terror comes like a storm, and your destruction comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently, but they will not find me. Because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord. They have none of my counsel and despised my every rebuke. Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled to the full with their own fancies. For the turning away of the simple will slay them. And the complacency of fools will destroy them; but whoever listens to Me [the Lord, and indirectly us as his agents] will dwell safely, and will be secure, without fear of evil.”
[Prov. 1:20-33, Bible]“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me”
[Hosea 4:6 , Bible, NKJV]“One who turns his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.”
[Prov. 28:9 , Bible, NKJV]"Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand all."
[Prov. 28:5, Bible, NKJV]
We can only help people who want to be free, and that desire must manifest itself through eternal education and the pursuit of wisdom, whose only source is God, and whose secondary source is our materials, which are based on the word of God.
"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. The price of eternal vigilance is eternal education."
We recognize that you may feel fearful and afraid and anxious in your circumstance, but you must realize that this fear results mainly from ignorance and lack of faith/trust in God. The only antidote for ignorance is diligent education using both the Bible and our ministry materials. The only antidote for lack of faith in God is to read His word daily and to pray to and trust in Him:
Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the LORD and depart from evil.
It will be health to your flesh,
And strength to your bones.Honor the LORD with your possessions,
And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
So your barns will be filled with plenty,
And your vats will overflow with new wine.
[Prov. 3:5-10, Bible, NKJV]
Good luck, and please send us a signed Member Agreement, Form #01.001 via email or fax before we can help you. We can only help those who
comply fully with and consent unconditionally to abide by the Member Agreement,
Form #01.001. Once you have done this, you may obtain information
from our offerings.
QUESTION 1.05:
Question 1.05: I'm facing tax problems for the years 2001,2002,2003. I've filed returns for those years and paid $5.00 for each year. Will going through the Master File Decoding process for those years be effective? What is the cost for a single filer to go through this process? (Full Service)
Answer 1.05: IMF Decoding is available on the SEDM Ministry Bookstore for
the suggested donation identified. However, our Member Agreement, Form #01.001 and Terms of Use and Disclaimer (Section
1) all clearly say we can't help people who are "taxpayers"
and you sound like you are likely a "taxpayer"
because you filed a return and claimed an amount due. If you did any
of the following, then you contradicted our Member Agreement, Form #01.001,
are not a "nontaxpayer",
and may not avail yourselves of any part of this website:
- Did not rebut all information returns filed against you in every
collection notice you receive from the taxing authorities. The Member Agreement, Form #01.001,
Section 3 requires you to promptly and regularly rebut all information
returns filed against you so that nothing connects you with the " trade or business"
franchise. This is done using the following:
Correcting
Erroneous Information Returns, Form #04.001 - Paid money on the return and didn't ask for it ALL back. This
meant you had a nonzero liability and are therefore a " taxpayer".
- Filed a 1040 form instead of the Federal Nonresident Nonstatutory
Claim for Return of Funds Unlawfully Paid to the Government, Forms #15.001 or #15.002 or IRS Form 1040NR plus the Tax Form Attachment,
Form #04.201 for a "national" and a "non-resident non-person". This
provided the government with court-admissible evidence that you are
a "U.S.
person" who falsely claims to be a " citizen" (person born in D.C. or the territories) or a " resident" (alien) under federal law. We can't help people
who commit perjury under penalty of perjury. That's unwise and
will not only discredit you, but also us eventually if we associate
with or help you. Sovereignty starts with getting educated and
thereby not deceiving the government about our true status by putting
falsehoods on government forms. Click here for details on why this approach is simply WRONG and
will get you in LOTS of trouble eventually.
- Filed a W-4 form instead of the proper AMENDED
W-8BEN form to control your withholding. See the free third
party booklet Federal and State Tax
Withholding Options for Private Employers, Form #09.001 for details
on how to do withholding. The only exception is if you were under
duress, in which case you must file a criminal complaint against your
employer and subsequently diligently correct all information returns
as indicated in step 1 above.
- Filed an SS-5 form and did not rescind the application by sending
in the Resignation of
Compelled Social Security Trustee, Form #06.002 document.
- Provided an SSN or TIN on any government form or did not refute
all uses by the government of such numbers in connection with you using
the Wrong Party
Notice. Our article entitled " About SSNs/TINs on Government
Correspondence" proves all those who use an identifying number effectively
become federal employees on official business. Federal employees and
personnel and contractors are the only proper subject of Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code because it cannot lawfully
be enforced against anyone else. See:
6.1
The Trade or Business Scam,
Form #05.0016.3
Why Penalties are Illegal
for Anything but Federal Employees, Contractors, and Agents, #05.010 - Did not go back and correct false government records reflecting
your citizenship as directed at step 3.13 of the Sovereignty Forms and Instructions Online, Form #10.004 (OFFSITE LINK), and remove all SSNs and TINs as directed in About SSNs/TINs on Government
Correspondence, Form #05.012 on the following forms and government
records:
7.1 Voter registration
7.2 Passport
7.3 Government benefit applications.
7.4 Tax returns.
7.5 Employment applications and records
- Created a false presumption that you are engaged in a taxable activity
called a "trade
or business" by participating in any of the following "privileged"
activities ( click here for details)
that represent federal "employee" compensation:
8.1 Claimed a graduated rate of tax on any earnings under 26 U.S.C. §1.
8.2 Claimed earned income credit under 26 U.S.C. §32.
8.3 Claimed any deductions under 26 U.S.C. §162.
The Member Agreement, Form #01.001 that must be signed and unconditionally consented to before we begin the
decoding process requires the client to say they are a "nontaxpayer" under
penalty of perjury. You couldn't possibly sign such an agreement without
lying if the returns you filed had any tax owing or if they were 1040 returns
instead of the required Federal Nonresident
Nonstatutory Claim for Return of Funds Unlawfully Paid to the Government,
Form #15.001 or 1040NR returns for people who are "nationals" (under 8 U.S.C. §1101(a)(21)) but not
"citizens" (under 8 U.S.C. §1401) and "non-resident non-person".
If you have since changed your mind and become a "nontaxpayer"
for the years that you need help with, and have already filed corrected
1040NR returns claiming no tax owing, that you are a "non-resident non-person",
and have discontinued using SSNs and TINs on all government correspondence,
then we might be able to help you. If you either haven't yet done
this or don't intend on doing it before involving
us in your situation, then we simply can't help you. If that is the
case, we're sorry and wish you the best of luck.
[EDITORIAL COMMENT: This person sounds like a government mole, because NO ONE we have ever met pays only $5.00 on a tax return or pays the same amount three years in a row.]
QUESTION 1.06:
Question 1.06: Do you offer services or help with a specific problem rather than just education?
Answer 1.06: The only type of services we offer are the following. These services are only offered to those who are Members and who consent unconditionally to our Member Agreement, Form #01.001:
- Educational services. These services would be designed to educate you about what the law says and where to find information about a given subject that relates to either your situation or to a specific situation.
- Paralegal document preparation
service. This service requires that you submit our Litigation Support
Client Intake Packet application, Form #01.003.
- IMF decoding service. The output of that service is simply copyrighted documents and evidence useful to you in your own fight against illegal activity on the part of the government.
All the above information produced is intended to be used only in petitioning the government for a Redress of Grievances under the First Amendment, which is a protected right under the Constitution. We can't and won't "represent" people before the IRS or in a court of law, complete IRS Form 2848 to act as power of attorney and thereby become subject to the I.R.C., nor can we render legal advice like a lawyer would. We can tell you what we would do if we were in your situation, but not what you should do. We can present information and options that may be useful to you in reaching a decision about what to do with your situation, but we can't and won't pick which option is best for you, nor will we ever present less than two options.
We otherwise can't and won't undermine your sovereignty
by having you financially equip us to take over running your life so you
can be a robot and do only what we tell you to do. That would not
only make us just as bad as what the government is trying to do right now
to you, but it would also be a supreme insult to your intelligence and would
actually accomplish the OPPOSITE goal of this website. We want to
educate and empower people to govern their own lives and defend
their own liberties,
rather than spread more Ignorance Related Slavery (IRS), which is what the
government is so famous for doing. If ignorance and laziness and irresponsibility
are the enemy that created the mess we are in to begin with, it makes no
sense to perpetuate more of it simply because doing so might benefit us
economically. That would be hypocrisy and would also represent the
WORSE kind of greed and usury on our part. Click here for an excellent article explaining this subject of personal
responsibility. We aren't interested in building any "empires" and
we will never be
anything more than be your devoted SERVANT, which means you can't be anything
more than a leader and manager of your own life and the government that
was created to SERVE you, as God intended. Stretch your wings and
learn to fly, or the government will eventually clip them and chain you
to their feudal tax grindstone as their indentured serf.
Life isn't fair, and this reality is part of the curse that God bestowed
upon Adam and all of us for Eve's original sin:
"Cursed is the ground for your sake;
In toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.
Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you,
And you shall eat the herb of the field.
In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
For dust you are,
And to dust you shall return."
[Gen. 3:17-19, Bible, NKJV]
We also can't help you to undermine God's sovereignty by enabling or encouraging you to circumvent or nullify His curse above. He is saying above that He wants us to take personal responsibility for ourselves and not to avoid responsibility for our sin. God was the "breadwinner" before the fall. When Adam and Eve decided to do things their own way, they got kicked out of the Garden and were told they would have to toil to support themselves. This is exactly what parents to do their children to force them to mature and learn. The reason people permit governments to become socialist, grow so big, and steal so much of their money is because they want to transfer responsibility away from themselves and thereby commit mutiny in defying God's command to take personal responsibility. They want to sin without responsibility. They want comfort and prosperity without sacrifice, honor, or personal responsibility. They want freedom without a fight. They want what never has been and never will be. The price of freedom is eternal, personal vigilance. There is no other easier way to liberation. The only person who ever promised an easier way was Satan, and when he did that to Eve, he was LYING. The fact that she believed him is the only reason we still live on this cursed planet since then. All rights derive from duties to a higher being. He who is not willing to accept that he has duties to God to support himself, and not be a burden or a harm to others simply cannot have rights. That's the Golden rule: You cannot deserve or have a claim to that which you are not willing to give or earn personally. Without rights, we all become animals and Beasts of burden for those Capitalists (not socialists) and tyrants who are willing to take responsibility and make things happen.
“The hand of the diligent [and the educated] will rule, but the lazy [or irresponsible] man will be put to forced labor [slavery!].”
[Prov. 12:24, Bible, NKJV]
QUESTION 1.07:
Question 1.07: Do you offer state or federal tax lien or levy removal?
Answer 1.07: Not at this time, but we are working on a book that describes at least one way of doing this.
QUESTION 1.08:
Question 1.08: I am in a severe financial bind and desperately need one of your items because I'm being persecuted financially by the government. I can't afford to meet the suggested donation amount for the item or service I need and was wondering if there is a way you can arrange a special discount in my particular case?
Answer 1.08: SEDM is a religious and charitable organization, and we are glad to help people as resources permit who can demonstrate with evidence that they have been good stewards over the gifts God has given them and yet are still unable to meet their obligations. If you can prove that you are genuinely needy, then we will entertain an act of grace and charity to help you in your situation. That proof would need to take the form of all of the following:
- An affidavit listing income, expense, asset, and liability
- A statement of earnings prepared and signed by your private employer
- A copy of the IRS levy notice(s) which are interfering with you having the resources to defend yourself.
- A signed Member Agreement, Form #01.001
We aren't interested in what you personally "feel" you need, but the actual reality of your situation related by independent, uninvolved, third parties in a signed or affidavit form. You can submit such evidence to our Contact page and we will consider pro bono help upon receipt of said proof.
QUESTION 1.09:
Question 1.09: I received a Federal letter number 2566(SC) and I'm not sure if the response you have will work for me. You have a response for Federal Letter 2566 but not for Letter 2566(SC). Can you offer an opinion or give advice about whether letter 2566 will work for me?
Answer 1.09: SEDM does NOT give legal advice or make legal determinations about your status. All we can say is compare the 2566(SC) letter you received with the sample IRS 2566 letter we have on the SEDM website. If the two seem similar enough, then you may want to get that response. Otherwise, please request the New Federal Response Letter shopping cart item and a new response will be created for you that can be used as a starting point for responding. We can't make the decision for you as to which of the two options will work in your case because that would require us to be intimately familiar with your situation and to make a legal determination based on that situation. You are the sovereign, and you need to make your own decisions and begin exercising your power of choice wisely. Spread your wings and fly or forever be chained to the federal plantation. It's your choice. Our article entitled Writing Effective Response Letters, Form #09.006 contains information which may be helpful in making this choice that only you can make. Our Articles of Mission, Form #01.004 say we simply aren't allowed to make legal determinations or tell you what you should do. Sorry. If you want us to continue to be available to serve your needs, then you need to help us by not asking questions like that. Only those who can make their own decisions are truly sovereign, and sovereign people are the only people we can educate and thereby help. Good luck!
QUESTION 1.10:
Question 1.10: I am presently domiciled in the New York state (and NOT the "State of New York"), and have been since February of 2005. Prior to that I was domiciled in the commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Department of revenue has levied my bank account and stolen over $13,000. This was done last fall They have levied my wages at my former employer in Massachusetts who still owed me money from a contract I completed for them. Now, as I am domiciled in the state of New York, and I work for a firm in the state of Washington, the Massachusetts Dept of Revenue has sent a letter to the company in Washington state to levy my wages. I do not feel that they have any jurisdiction over me in this scenario, (not that they ever did). Can you point me to some educational material that I could use to support myself in fighting this levy and keeping my money for which I labored? Any help, advice or direction that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Answer 1.10:
First of all, if you are earning "wages"
as legally defined, then you are not the target of illegal enforcement,
but rather are acting like a "public officer" and ought to quit complaining.
You can't be a Member of this fellowship and earn "wages"
because we don't allow "public officers" engaged in the "trade or business" franchise to participate as Members. Furthermore, we can't talk to or help people
who are not Members. You better do your homework and read our Federal and State Tax Withholding
Options for Private Employers, Form #04.101 because your misunderstanding
of the law and your confusion of "words of art" with everyday words is making
you into a government serf.
Secondly, your situation is covered in a book entitled "Conflicts in a Nutshell" by West Publishing. See:
http://west.thomson.com/product/22088447/product.asp
We highly recommend getting this excellent book, because it really fits the picture together. The third edition discusses extraterritorial tax enforcement on page 140, section 52. As we understand it, the laws of the former state of your domicile are foreign with respect to the state you are now in and with respect to any other state. The supreme court has said the following:
“Every State or nation possesses an exclusive sovereignty and jurisdiction within her own territory, and her laws affect and bind all property and persons residing within it. It may regulate the manner and circumstances under which property is held, and the condition, capacity, and state of all persons therein, and also the remedy and modes of administering justice. And it is equally true that no State or nation can affect or bind property out of its territory, or persons not residing within it. No State therefore can enact laws to operate beyond its own dominions, and if it attempts to do so, it may be lawfully refused obedience. Such laws can have no inherent authority extraterritorially. This is the necessary result of the independence of distinct and separate sovereignties.”
"Now it follows from these principles that whatever force or effect the laws of one State or nation may have in the territories of another must depend solely upon the laws and municipal regulations of the latter, upon its own jurisprudence and polity, and upon its own express or tacit consent.”
[Dred Scott v. John F.A. Sanford, 60 U.S. 393 (1856)]
Therefore, your former domiciliary state may not extend its revenue laws beyond its borders and adversely affect your rights in what amounts to a foreign country called Washington state. They lack territorial or in personam jurisdiction. Whoever in a company surrenders earnings wrongfully based on a levy or lien that has no jurisdiction is personally liable in state court for a tort and an illegal injury, as far as we understand it. We can't tell you what you should do or give legal advice, but if we faced that situation personally, we would sue the payroll clerk individually, and not the company, and get the withheld earnings from the clerk's pay. Below is what the above book says on p. 140 on this subject:
§ Tax Claims
"At an earlier time it was assumed that a forum would refuse to entertain a claim by another state's tax official to collect the latter's taxes from a person found in the forum. Some cases so held (e.g. Colorado, NY 1921), but there is really no reason for such trepidation, at least within the United States, where the federal constitution oversees all state and federal laws to assure minimal fairness. The refusal has therefore been criticized as encouraging "willful, dishonest tax evasion" (Oklahoma ex re. Oklahoma Tax Comm'n, Ark.1955). Perhaps it is this supervisory function of the constitution that has let to today's more receptive attitude among the states of the United States. Tax claims have often been entertained in sister-state courts (e.g. J.A. Holshouser Co. v. Gold Hill Copper Co, 138 N.C. 248, 50 S.E. 650 (N.C. 1905); City of Detroit v. Gould, 12 Ill.2d 197m 146 N.E.2d 61 (Ill.1957)). Some states have reciprocity statutes in the tax area. These direct local courts to 7entertain the tax claims of only those states that do likewise (e.g., NY Tax L. §902).
"The U.S. Supreme Court, in holding that a judgment for taxes must be given full faith and credit (Milwaukee, USSC 1935), left open the question of whether the constitution requires a state to entertain a direct claim (i.e., one not yet reduced to judgment) for taxes by a sister state or one of its taxing units. Of course, the fact that recognition become mandatory when the tax claim is reduced to judgment teaches the taxing unit to being the tax suit at home, invoking a longarm statute against the taxpayer if necessary (longarm jurisdiction is available for tax claims, see U.S. v. Montreal Trust, 358 F.2d 239 (2nd Cir. 1966), 384 U.S. 919, 86 S.Ct. 1366, 16 L.Ed.2d 440 (1966)). Since the judgment secures mandatory recognition and as simple a phenomenon as a longarm statute can secure that judgment at home, the taxing unit pursuing the taxpayer outside the state should do so with a judgment, which insists on recognition, instead of the underlying claim itself, whose call on recognition is less certain."
[Conflicts in a Nutshell, Third Edition, ISBN 0-314-16066-3]
According to the above, it would appear that the Mass. Dept of Revenue must pursue a judgment in Washington State before they can attempt collection there. An administrative levy or lien from a foreign state cannot have any authority outside the state that issued it, based on the above. However, you shouldn't trust anything we say and instead investigate this matter fully yourself by reading the above book and looking at the above references. We hope this gives you a starting point for your own studies. Another instructive Supreme Court case on this subject that you might want to read is Milwaukee v. White, 296 U.S. 268 (1935).
QUESTION 1.11:
Question 1.11: I want to become a Member and I need you to help me prepare an IRS 1040 form so I can get all my money back from the IRS. Can you help me?
Answer 1.11: You are NOT reading our Member Agreement, Form #01.001 or you wouldn't be asking that question. Our Member Agreement, Form #01.001, Section 5, Item 7 says we are prohibited from either advising in the preparation of tax returns or assisting people in filing of returns. This prohibition is also repeated in our Articles of Mission, Form #01.004, Section 2.5, item 6. We are also not allowed to engage in any commercial activities, and filing of returns is a commercial activity. There are NO exceptions to this policy.
This is exclusively a free speech website intended only to educate and empower people to obey the law and govern their own lives without any outside influences or help, including from the government. The only thing we produce is education and information. What you do with that information and education is entirely up to you. You are the sovereign, and you must take total and complete and exclusive personal responsibility for your life by educating yourself and fighting your own battles based not on what we say, but on what the law says. If you aren't up to this task, then you are headed for trouble and may as well kiss your rights and any possibility of freedom goodbye, because your LYING public servants will promote, abuse, and exploit your ignorance to make you into their whore if you don't. We're sorry, but that is the naked reality of the situation and we know the Truth hurts, but you MUST hear this or you will become another victim:
"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and people who mean to be their own governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."
[James Madison]
The decision of whether to file or how to file is entirely
up to you. However, you CANNOT be a Member of SEDM if you file
a "resident alien" tax form such as IRS form 1040. IRS Publication 7130 says that only "citizens and residents" of the "United States" (federal
zone), who collectively are called "U.S.
persons" and " domiciliaries", may file
IRS form 1040. This requirement is also repeated in 26 C.F.R. §1.6012-1(a), which says
that only statutory (and NOT constitutional) 'U.S. citizens and residents"
have an obligation to file a tax return. The IRS form 1040 is ONLY
for such persons, all of whose earnings are from the "trade
or business"/public office franchise. The only people who can
read or use this website are:
- Non-Resident
Non-Persons
- Nontaxpayers
- Not engaged in a " trade or business"
- Not "U.S. persons" as defined in 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(30) . . . AND
- Not federal employees or contractors or "instrumentalities"
If you decide to file any kind of return as a Member, you MUST file the AMENDED Federal 1040NR with the Tax Form Attachment, Form #04.201 or the Federal Nonresident Nonstatutory Claim for Return of Funds Unlawfully Paid to the Government, , Form #15.001 or 15.002 that can only indicate a ZERO liability, zero earnings from a "trade or business" or from the "United States" (District of Columbia) and which rebuts all information returns filed against you. This requirement exists to prevent either us or you from bringing reproach upon the God we serve and upon the freedom community as a whole. Any filing of "resident" 1040 (rather than 1040NR) forms, regardless of the liability indicated on the form, is totally inappropriate for any of our Members. You only have two choices: obey the Member Agreement, Form #01.001 completely and consistently or quit using our information and become a Member in Bad Standing. There is no middle ground on this issue. Sorry to be so harsh, but the naked reality is that we walk a tight-rope here because the government will always have us under a microscope.
If you want further information about filing of no
liability 1040NR returns as a " non-resident non-person",
the FREE information on Family Guardian in the Sovereignty Forms and Instructions Online, Form #10.004, may prove
helpful. Click on "Forms" in the upper left corner and look at items

- The Government "Benefits" Scam, Form #05.040-describes how to defend yourself against the main argument the government uses in all criminal tax prosecutions
- Litigation Tools Page-forms and pleadings you can use as a starting point if you are handling the litigation yourself.
- Legal Requirement to File Federal Income Tax Returns, Form #05.009-memorandum of law on our Forms page.
- The "Trade or Business"

Income Tax Liability, #05.007-use this pamphlet to describe the
basis for your belief about why you didn't have to file. All tax
crimes have "willfulness" as a prerequisite and this pamphlet shows
there is no basis to believe there is a requirement to file because
there is no credible information one can trust or belief establishing
a liability.

you a relevant law from the sources above in helping you make an informed
choice about what to do.
QUESTION 1.13:
Question 1.13: My private employer is trying to FORCE me to provide a Social Security Number, a Taxpayer Identification Number, or a W-9 form. What can I do to respond to this?
Answer 1.13: Before you get started on this problem, you should read the following free resources to get some background on how to proceed:
- Income Tax Withholding
and Reporting Course, Form #12.004
- Federal and State
Tax Withholding Options for Private Employers, Form #09.001.
Especially sections 20 through 22 and subsections.
Information that may be helpful in preparing your defense includes the following:
- You can give them the following form and demand that they rebut
it:
Why It is Illegal
for Me to Request or Use a "Taxpayer Identification Number", Form #04.205 - You can quote 42 U.S.C. §408, which says that it is illegal to compel anyone to
disclose or use a Social Security Number.
TITLE 42 - THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
CHAPTER 7 - SOCIAL SECURITY
SUBCHAPTER II - FEDERAL OLD-AGE, SURVIVORS, AND DISABILITY INSURANCE BENEFITS
(a) In general
Whoever -...(8) discloses, uses, or compels the disclosure of the social security number of any person in violation of the laws of the United States; shall be guilty of a felony and upon conviction thereof shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both.
- You can tell them that you do not have a "Social Security Number"
because you have never lawfully participated and couldn't lawfully consent
to participate. Then you can show them:
3.1
Why You Aren't Eligible
for Social Security, Form #06.0013.2 The resignation document you sent in, if you sent it in at (Members are REQUIRED to do this):
Resignation of
Compelled Social Security Trustee, Form #06.0023.3 Social Security Form 521 showing that you quit the social security program:
https://famguardian.org/TaxFreedom/Instructions/3.17QuitSocialSecurity.htm - You can show them the signed letter from the Social Security Administration
admitting that you aren't required to have or use the number:
SEDM Exhibit 07.004
http://sedm.org/Exhibits/EX07.004.pdf - You can give them our free pamphlet Who are 'taxpayers'
and who needs a 'Taxpayer Identification Number', Form #05.013 and
demand that they rebut the questions at the end. It's also a good
idea to offer to sit down with anyone who is confronting you on this
issue and educate them about the content of this pamphlet.
- You can print out and hand them a copy of the following:
Reasonable Cause Regulations and Requirements for Missing and Incorrect Name/TINs, IRS Publication 1586
https://famguardian.org/TaxFreedom/Forms/IRS/IRSPub1586.pdf - You can download the free Federal and State
Tax Withholding Options for Private Employers book, Form #09.001 and refer to sections 24.3.1 and 24.3.5 for further details.
Section 27.12 also has a form you can use as a substitute for the W-9
form so that you can comply by submitting the form but still protect
yourself and your privacy. Read this book carefully and it will
answer most of your questions.
- You can tell them that it is illegal to use government property for a private purpose and that you do not consent to act as a voluntary federal "public official" or employee without extra pay. 20 C.F.R. §422.103(d) identifies the Social Security Number as government property, and to use this "public property" for a private purpose constitutes embezzlement and impersonating a federal employee, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §912.
- If the person doing the compelling is not the owner of the organization, you can tell the person that you are going to sue them personally for recruiting you into slavery, in violation of the Thirteenth Amendment, 42 U.S.C. §1994, and 18 U.S.C. §1581.
- You can show them the definition of "married" and "unmarried" individuals in 26 C.F.R. §1.1-1(a)(2)(ii), who are "aliens engaged in a 'trade or business'" and then explain that you are neither an "alien" or engaged in a "trade or business". See:
- You tell them you are a "non-resident non-person" and quote them 26 C.F.R. §1.872-2(f), which says you are not subject to withholding and give them a modified W-8BEN form. See:
- If you are self-supporting and not an "employee" [ federal instrumentality] but a private contractor, you can identify yourself as a " non-resident non-person"
and read them 26 U.S.C. §1402(b), which says that "nonresident aliens" do not
earn "self employment income" and therefore need not report.
Whichever one or more of the above options you select:
- Make sure you either have witnesses present or send everything registered overnight mail with return receipt. That way, you will have proof, if they decide to discriminate by either not hiring or firing you for basically refusing to violate the law or reward their ignorance with a surrender of your sovereign immunity under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.
- Do NOT allow them to fill out IRS form 1042-S on your earnings,
because this will illegally make them "gross income" and connect them
to a "trade or business".
This is explained in the free Federal and State
Tax Withholding Options for Private Employers book, Form #09.001,
section 19.3.
- Do NOT allow them to fill out IRS form 1099 on your earnings, because this form is ONLY for use in connection with a "trade or business", which you are not involved in. See:
- Do NOT allow them to fill out IRS form W-2 on your earnings, because
this is ONLY in connection with a "trade or business", which in most
cases you are not engaged in. See:
Correcting Erroneous IRS Form W-2's, Form #04.002 - If they fill out false information returns, such as W-2, 1042-S,
1098, or 1099, against you, make sure to correct them promptly after
they are filed in order to avoid becoming the target of unlawful IRS
collection activity in accordance with the following:

QUESTION 1.14:
Question 1.14: I am marrying a foreign wife and I want to protect her rights and avoid all the government fraud paperwork. Is there a way to marry her without a license and what should I look out for in this process.
I have recently submitted a Petition for Alien Fiance (I-129F) to the USCIS This will allow for my fiance who lives in ________[foreign country] to come to the United States where I will have to marry her within 90-days of her arrival. I have recently discovered many of the evil truths about the government and wish that our marriage/union be kept out of the jurisdiction of the State of Indiana (where we will marry). But, in order for me to change her status from a non-Immigrant status to an Immigrant status I have to fill out form I-485. I-485 requires that I submit the following:
- Fiance Petition Approval (which we will receive and allows for her entry into this country)
- Marriage certificate
- I-94 Form proving that she entered the country at a US point of entry
My question(s) are as follows:
- Is there a way that I can marry without a marriage license in the State of Indiana and still obtain a valid Marriage Certificate?
- Are there any forms or things that I should be aware (and for that matter beware) of in regards to the Fiance Visa process?
Thanks so much for your prompt reply.
Answer 1.14: The method we use the case of our family members is the following:
- Marry without a license by using the marriage contract in our book:
Sovereign Christian Marriage, Form #06.008. - Have the contract notarized, in which case it is an official record.
- Present that notarized contract as proof of marriage. You
can add to that a Certificate of Marriage included with the book that
you can have a pastor sign. You can also have that document notarized
if you like as well and even record it with the county recorder, but
only if you don't mind losing your privacy. A list of pastors
who will marry without licenses is at:
https://famguardian.org/Subjects/FamilyLaw/Marriage/Pastors.htm (OFFSITE LINK) - Present a certified copy of the signed certificate plus the first and last page of the marriage contract to those who need proof of valid marriage. Your marriage qualifies as a "foreign marriage" under most state laws, and most state laws require states to legally recognize the existence of such marriage under the terms of the "foreign law" (God's law and the private contract) which consummated them. If they argue with you about the validity of the foreign marriage, refer them to the Family Code in your state and the section that says they have to recognize it. Click here to look up the laws for your state.
- If they balk because your certificate and copy of the contract are not a "government record", show them the notarization of the contract and/or the certificate. Notaries are officers of the government so it is "government issued". If you have it recorded, you can also show them the stamped version from the Country Recorder and even give them a certified color copy if they want.
- Make sure when you fill out all the government paperwork, such as
the I-94 and I129F, that you neither include nor provide any identifying
government numbers and indicate that you DO NOT intend to apply for
nor receive Social Security or a Taxpayer Identification Number.
The reasons are explained at:
Resignation of Compelled Social Security Trustee, Form #06.002
We don't have time to hold your hand on this. You need to read our book Sovereign Christian Marriage, Form #06.008, which will clear up most of your questions. That book also has a sample contract you can start with. However, it WILL NOT work and we don't recommend using it if if both of you are not Christians.

QUESTION 1.15:
Question 1.15: Do you have any information on professional licensing? I live in California and am a real estate agent with a dreaded license. How can I legally operate without one? No broker would hire me. I am already dealing with not signing a w-9 form, as to do so after not filing for many years would be my downfall. Any info on that as well? How to handle an broker who thinks he has to obtain a w-9 form for the irs? How about liens that are already on your credit report? Is there a way to get them removed? I know I have so many questions, but I am embroiled with all of these battles, yet I want to make a difference for all in the future to come.
Answer 1.15: We have a section in our Liberty University specifically intended to help people avoid franchises and licenses of every description. Click on the link below to visit:
Liberty University, Section 4: Avoiding Franchises and Licenses
Other than the information at the link above, we don't have specific information about professional licensing. However, if you read the state laws governing professional licensing, you will find that they almost universally require that you live in the "State", which is usually defined as the federal areas within the exterior limits of most states of the Union. If you can find that statute, and point it out to the person you need to convince, that should settle it. We don't keep track of all these statutes for each state because it it very burdensome, but you can do a search on your own for your state:

The fact that people won't hire or employ you because you refuse to be a privileged alien in your own country is a cause for a discrimination lawsuit. Its best to show them the law before doing anything that drastic, but these are the essentials.
The W-9 is only necessary in the case of an alien. This is confirmed in the case of the following:
About SSNs/TINs on Government Forms and Correspondences, Form #05.012
If you are having trouble with people insisting that you fill out a W-9 and therefore commit perjury under penalty of perjury by declaring yourself to be an alien, then we recommend using the following to educate and convince them:

QUESTION 1.16:
Question 1.16: Why won't you answer my question? You said you can't give legal advice and therefore can't answer it.
Answer 1.16: Our ministry observes very stringent constraints relating to all its communications with Members and other third parties. You aren't getting answers because you aren't following the strict protocol for asking questions. That protocol and the reason why it is necessary is thoroughly is described in:
Guide to Asking Questions, Form #09.017
If you either attempt to contact us to ask a question using our Contact Us page or you intend to post a question you may have to our Member Forums, you are required to strictly observe these guidelines or your communication will either be ignored, flagged as a violation, and sometimes even deleted.
We repeat the content of this FAQ in section 14.5 of our Path to Freedom, Form #09.015 to ensure that everyone is aware of it in all their interactions with this ministry and all of its Members.
QUESTION 1.17:
Question 1.17: I want to continue receiving Social Security, Medicare, SSI, or other government checks or "benefits" but also no longer want be subject to federal jurisdiction or venue or be a "taxpayer". Can you help?
Answer 1.17: You are asking for an impossibility and we simply can't and won't help you in any way:
- You want dependency and sovereignty at the same time. This is impossible.
- You want to collect money from the government that you aren't willing to earn by paying taxes. In effect, you want something for nothing. Since the government doesn't produce anything and you aren't willing to pay your way, indirectly that choice compels them to become a thief on your behalf, and the people they are going to STEAL from are mainly those who don't want to participate. That means US! We can't aid or abet thieves.
- You want rights without the responsibilities that give rise to them. All rights originate from duties and responsibilities to a higher power. If you don't believe in God, then that higher power is the government.
- You want to receive "public funds" as a "private person", which is illegal and constitutes embezzlement in violation of 18 U.S.C. §641. The only people who can lawfully receive "public funds" are public officers. Otherwise, you are converting "public property" to "private use", which is a polite way of saying that you are STEALING government funds. One must be a "public officer" in order to receive "public funds", and "public officers" are the main "taxpayers" under Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code. Those who are "public officers" are "U.S. persons" pursuant to 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(30) and we can't help or educate any "U.S. person" without violating the Member Agreement, Form #01.001.
- You are asking us to help you continue receiving money unlawfully from the government, even if you were a "public officer". The definition of "State" in the Social Security Act (see 42 U.S.C. §1301(a)(1)) does NOT include states of the Union. No one domiciled in a state of the Union can lawfully collect Social Security and it is a violation of the separation of powers doctrine, treason, and a violation of the Social Security Act if they do. See the following for details:
- You are violating the law by asking to receive a "benefit" while
being unwilling to reimburse the government for every penny you receive
in "benefits". You MUST pull your own weight. Social Security
is NOT a "trust fund" or an investment. Everything goes from hand-to-hand
and the so-called "lock box" is full of IOU's, not your money.
The government cannot lawfully abuse its taxing power to redistribute
wealth, but only to pay for its own employees and agents in the official
execution of their constitutionally authorized duties. You therefore
must become part of the government and subject to their jurisdiction
to receive any kind of benefit from them.

Can't you see how irrational it is to ask us to help you? Freedom and sovereignty BEGIN with COMPLETE, TOTAL, and PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for every aspect of oneself. As long as you are eating out of anyone's hand, including the government, then the only choice you have is to lick the hand that feeds you. You can't be half pregnant or half free.

The beginning of our Federal and State Income Taxation of Individuals
Course, Form #12.003 says we can't help people steal and that is what
you are asking us to help you do. Our Member Agreement, Form #01.001 also says we can't help "taxpayers"
and that is what you are if you are receiving Social Security benefits. 26 U.S.C. §871(a)(3) says that Social Security Benefits constitute "gross
income" and therefore are taxable. Our Member Agreement, Form #01.001 also says you won't ask us to violate any enacted law or help you violate
any law, which is what you are asking us to do. We strongly discourage all "taxpayers" and government "benefit"
recipients from becoming members or from using our materials because
they are both synonymous and those who fit this category would be unlawfully
interfering with the administration of the internal revenue laws by using
our materials without satisfying all of the criteria for being a Member.
Unless and until you completely disassociate with THE BEAST that has become
our de facto lawless government by sending in the Resignation of Compelled
Social Security Trustee, Form #06.002 document above, we can't and won't
help you because you are a "taxpayer", whether you know it or not.
Sending in this document is also a mandatory requirement of Section 2.2
of our Member Agreement, Form
#01.001. On this subject, the Bible says:
‘Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive her plagues.
“For her [our corrupted de facto WHORE government] sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.

QUESTION 1.18:
Question 1.18:
I sent in the 
Legal Notice of Change in
Domicile/Citizenship Records and Divorce from the United States, Form #10.001 and the Dept. of State sent me a LAME response or left me hanging.
For instance, the Dept. of State said that we cannot relinquish nationality
via the mail. We might need help to respond to the letter and also
help in following their direction to go to a US consular office in a foreign
state to renounce US citizenship. What should I do?
Answer 1.18: The only approved method for changing your DOMICILE and resulting citizenship that is available on our website is the following form:
Legal Notice of Change in Domicile/Citizenship Records and Divorce from the United States, Form #10.001
http://sedm.org/Forms/FormIndex.htm
That form clearly DOES NOT ask for an abandonment of NATIONALITY or EXPATRIATION. In Section 2, the form specifically warns the recipient, which is the Dept. of State, NOT to address how to abandon nationality or expatriate, but simply to correct records to remove your status as a STATUTORY "U.S. citizen" pursuant to 8 U.S.C. §1401. Therefore, the Dept. of State is either not reading your correspondence or refusing to address the issues raised therein because it would be too incriminating. It is your job to ensure that they give you exactly and only what the form itself asks for which is:
- An apostilled original version
of the document returned to you.
- A confirmation that they have updated all government records in their care, custody, and control which reflect your citizenship and domicile. The specific change requested is that you become a non-resident non-person engaged in a "trade or business", a "non-citizen national" pursuant to 8 U.S.C. §1101(a)(21).
It also appears that you either may not have read the Legal Notice yourself or do not understand what you read. We don't recommend expatriation and the form itself explains why, and yet here you are asking for help expatriating. We can't help or advise you in how to use our materials in OTHER than approved methods, and you are doing the WRONG thing!
If may also be that you did not use the latest version of the form, because older versions are likely to be less effective than newer versions. Therefore, look at the revision date at the top of the first page and compare it with what is currently available on our website so that you used the very latest version.
Please therefore do your homework and thoroughly read, use, and follow the latest version of the form based on the instructions included. If the Dept. of State didn't respond as directed in the form itself and ignored Section 2 of the form, as it appears they did in your case, then resend it to them and DEMAND that they read and follow what is in section 2 and do as directed in the form, instead of giving non-responsive answers. Insist that they give you the two things indicated above and tell them that you aren't interested in policy. They are trying to dodge bullets by sending you a canned response that is completely irrelevant and does not address anything in the letter. Demand that they directly address what you are asking for in the letter. If that doesn't work, call them and ask them what part of the letter they didn't understand. The squeaky wheel will get the grease but they will do as much foot-dragging as they can because they don't want you escaping their jurisdiction, undermining their power and control over you, and becoming sovereign.
Ultimately, if all they come back with is basically policy statements and don't quote any statute, regulation, or caselaw that supports their position, then basically they are not honoring the law because everything they do must be authorized by some law. In a "society of law" such as we have in America, anyone in government who operates exclusively by "policy" and ignores the law has devolved us into a "society of men". Ultimately, all such persons the U.S. Congress identifies as communists, as confirmed by 50 U.S.C. §841, which says that anyone who refuses to recognize or abide by the constitutional and statutory legal constraints on their behavior is a communist. The only recourse you have in responding to such communists is to undertake a Constitutional tort action against them personally for denying you your rights. See 42 U.S.C.A. §1483 for details on how to do this in federal court. A Bivens Action would be inappropropriate because such actions only involve violations of the Fourth Amendment. You do not need anything to have standing in a Constitutional tort action OTHER than a violation of the Constitution because the Bill of Rights is "self -executing" according to the U.S. Supreme Court and needs not supporting statute:
"The design of the Fourteenth Amendment has proved significant also in maintaining the traditional separation of powers 524*524 between Congress and the Judiciary. The first eight Amendments to the Constitution set forth self-executing prohibitions on governmental action, and this Court has had primary authority to interpret those prohibitions. The Bingham draft, some thought, departed from that tradition by vesting in Congress primary power to interpret and elaborate on the meaning of the new Amendment through legislation. Under it, "Congress, and not the courts, was to judge whether or not any of the privileges or immunities were not secured to citizens in the several States." Flack, supra, at 64. While this separation-of-powers aspect did not occasion the widespread resistance which was caused by the proposal's threat to the federal balance, it nonetheless attracted the attention of various Members. See Cong. Globe, 39th Cong., 1st Sess., at 1064 (statement of Rep. Hale) (noting that Bill of Rights, unlike the Bingham proposal, "provide[s] safeguards to be enforced by the courts, and not to be exercised by the Legislature"); id., at App. 133 (statement of Rep. Rogers) (prior to Bingham proposal it "was left entirely for the courts . . . to enforce the privileges and immunities of the citizens"). As enacted, the Fourteenth Amendment confers substantive rights against the States which, like the provisions of the Bill of Rights, are self-executing. Cf. South Carolina v. Katzenbach, 383 U. S., at 325 (discussing Fifteenth Amendment). The power to interpret the Constitution in a case or controversy remains in the Judiciary.
[City of Boerne v. Flores, 521 U.S. 507 (1997)]
If after doing your own homework and writing a response or several responses, you find something that motivates them to do the job you asked them to do, then please forward it to us so everyone can benefit from it. Ultimately, however, we are not staffed to personally help everyone who might have trouble with this procedure, and especially not without compensation. We remind our readers that sovereignty is a "do it yourself" thing that will demand a lifetime of learning and consistent effort to maintain and protect. No one but you personally can make it happen ultimately. Accepting the responsibility for that challenge is the essence of what it means to be a good citizen and a patriotic American.
QUESTION 1.19:
Question 1.19: I have a loan or debt I want to cancel. Can you point me at the information on your site that addresses how to do this?
Answer 1.19: Debt cancellation is an activity prohibited by our Member Agreement, Form #01.001, Section 5, item 13 as well as Item 13 of the Prohibited Activities section of our About Us page. We don't get involved in commercial issues or debt cancellation. We are a religious ministry, not a commercial business. If you contracted a loan, you should pay it. The Bible says says in Deut. 15:1-3 that debts should be cancelled by the lenders who are fellow believers every seven years, but it doesn't say that the borrowers can cancel debts.
QUESTION 1.20:
Question 1.20: The IRS is unlawfully levying my Social Security Benefits. Do you have a remedy that will resolve this problem?
Answer 1.20: You have visited this website because you want to hear the Truth. Please don't take any of the answers to your question personally, but they are the Truth and you shouldn't be surprised or offended to hear us speaking the Truth in this, the last bastion of sanity, reason, and righteousness on the planet. Some answers:
- Social Security levies are UNLAWFUL pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §1717. Any amount they levy under the Federal Payment Levy Program (FPLP) is illegal and you have standing in federal court to sue the person who authorized the illegal levy. We hope you're not surprised that your government isn't reading or obeying the law. They never do, which is one of many reasons why you can't apply for or receive or participate in any of their fraudulent "franchises" and still have any so-called "rights" left. They only care about Number One, and we'll give you a hint: You're NOT number one.
- We can't help or interact with those who are not Members because we don't want to interfere with the lawful administration of any government function or franchise.
- Our Member Agreement, Form #01.001 requires QUITTING social security.
- If you are drawing Social Security benefits, then you didn't quit and are violating the Member Agreement, Form #01.001.
- If you are participating in Social Security, then you are a "taxpayer". 26 U.S.C. §861(a)(8) says all Social Security benefits constitute "gross income" that is subject to tax. Our Member Agreement, Form #01.001 prohibits us from helping or dealing with "taxpayers" or "U.S. persons" and you are both if you are participating in Social Security.
- Our Member Agreement, Form #01.001 also says that you won't ask us to violate it, which is what you did.
- Read Question 1.1 above for additional suggestions we have for "taxpayers".
Sorry, but we can't help you until you disconnect from
the Beast as mandated by the Member Agreement, Form #01.001 and quit accepting food for yourself
that is being stolen from your unwilling neighbor, of which we are a part.
Your neighbor wouldn't be participating if he or she wasn't forced to and if
he was offered an informed choice to quit. The Bible commands us not
to steal (Exodus
20:15) and not to associate with those who do (Prov.
1:10-19). On the other hand, we do wish to thank you for hastening
the inevitable demise
of a pagan socialist
welfare state that is headed for rapid and eventual destruction, thanks
to people like you. Keep up the GREAT work. A major financial
meltdown is the only way to wake up the complaisant ignorant masses who
tolerate and perpetuate the fraud that has become our pagan government and
the sooner it happens, the better.
"The king establishes the land by justice; but he who receives bribes [socialist handouts or government "benefits"/franchises] overthrows it."

QUESTION 1.21:
Question 1.21: I'm a "bogus taxpayer". Do you have a program or process for me to become a "nontaxpayer" and do you help with that process? Do you help in any other way other than providing you a well put together website of truth for us the non-taxpayer?
Answer 1.21:
We can't help or advise "taxpayers",
and especially not tax collectors such as yourself! You can't be a
statutory "taxpayer"
and use any of our "tax information or services".
Even "taxpayers", however, CAN use materials or services OTHER than "tax information and services". Nor can you be a "bogus taxpayer". YOU and ONLY YOU must determine
independently that you are a "nontaxpayer" based on studying the enacted
law BEFORE you use any of our materials, and we can't and won't help
directly with making "taxpayers"
into "nontaxpayers". That is your job based on
your own reading of the law and the free materials on this website.
We have found that most people who have been acting like "taxpayers" got
into that position mainly because of ignorance by either filling out forms
incorrectly or or passively tolerating ignorant violations of law by third
parties and not correcting or prosecuting these violations. They always
were "nontaxpayers" but they didn't realize it until they actually read
the law for themselves. We emphasize that reading the authoritative
sources of belief documented in our Reasonable Belief About Income
Tax Liability, Form #05.007 pamphlet is the only way to determine your
own status, and the only type of evidence upon which you can base a reasonable
belief based on what the law and the courts themselves say.
Read our FAQs, item 5.10. That FAQ describes the process we used in our own case to correct government records to correctly reflect our status as a "nontaxpayer". However, whether that process is appropriate for you and your circumstances is entirely and exclusively your choice and responsibility. Our Member Agreement, Form #01.001 specifically prohibits us from making determinations about your legal status or providing legal advice. We aren't even allowed to talk with you until you sign and submit a Member Agreement, Form #01.001. If you want to criticize our approach of refusing to determine your legal or tax status, remember that it is EXACTLY the same approach used by the federal courts AND the IRS. The Declaratory Judgments Act, 28 U.S.C. §2201(a), prohibits federal courts from making declaratory judgments about rights or status on the subject of "taxes".
Specifically, Rowen seeks a declaratory judgment against the United States of America with respect to "whether or not the plaintiff is a taxpayer pursuant to, and/or under 26 U.S.C. § 7701(a)(14)." (See Compl. at 2.) This Court lacks jurisdiction to issue a declaratory judgment "with respect to Federal taxes other than actions brought under section 7428 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986," a code section that is not at issue in the instant action. See 28 U.S.C. § 2201; see also Hughes v. United States, 953 F.2d 531, 536-537 (9th Cir. 1991) (affirming dismissal of claim for declaratory relief under § 2201 where claim concerned question of tax liability). Accordingly, defendant's motion to dismiss is hereby GRANTED, and the instant action is hereby DISMISSED.
[Rowen v. U.S., 05-3766MMC. (N.D.Cal. 11/02/2005)]
AFTER you have independently determined that you are a "nontaxpayer" and signed and submitted the Member Agreement, Form #01.001 via fax, then and only then can we help you, and the limit of the help that we can provide is identified in our bookstore offerings. In summary, we can:
- Provide additional legal and freedom and religious educational materials to help your progress and learning. See our Ministry Bookstore.
- Prepare Federal Response Letters or State Response Letters to ensure the government respects the laws dealing with "nontaxpayers". These are a starting point to help you respond, but you may still need to improve them to fit your case.
- Help in the preparation of legal pleadings.
- Do IMF Decoding to uncover fraud introduced into IRS records relating to your status.
- Integrate any new research you may uncover into our materials to improve them. We always welcome suggestions on how to make our materials more useful or accurate.

Our prayers are with you!
QUESTION 1.23:
Question 1.23: I have been studying sovereignty and would like to ask some questions. Can I call?
Answer 1.23: In order for people who contact us to get questions answered, they should do as we suggest in our Contact Us page FIRST:
- You must FIRST be a Member before we can answer your questions.
This means you must have faxed us a signed Member Agreement, Form #01.001 before contacting us. We cannot talk
with anyone who does not unconditionally consent to and comply with
our Member Agreement, Form #01.001.
We may also ask you before we talk to you whether you consent to our
Member Agreement, Form #01.001 and if you don't, we reserve the right
not to speak with you.
- You should contact us via our Contact Us page FIRST before attempting a phone call. We only entertain phone contact as a last resort because it is so resource and time intensive and compromise our privacy.
- If you are calling with a general question, you have first taken the time to scan and hopefully read these Frequently Asked Questions, because chances are your question is already answered here. This area is carefully organized to make finding the answer to your question quick and convenient.
- You may not violate the Member Agreement, Form #01.001 or our Articles of Mission, Form
#01.004 by asking for legal advice. Therefore, you must follow
the protocol for asking questions documented earlier in FAQ #1.16.
- You may not ask us to do any of the specifically prohibited things
in our
Terms of Use and Service, Form #01.016,
Section 4 during your contact with us, including ask for assurances
or promises about the effectiveness of any of our materials. Answers
to all such questions, if they are given in violation of our Member Agreement, Form #01.001,
should be considered religious beliefs that are nonfactual
and non-actionable and not admissible as evidence pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 610. This is the only way to interpret
such responses consistent with our Disclaimer.
- If you are calling about an order of one of our bookstore items, you have your order number and other personal information ready to give to us so we can verify your identity and standing to call.
- If you are calling about a response letter, please also have the letter or notice number ready to give to us so we know what you are asking questions about and can promptly help you.
Some people wonder why we cannot answer technical questions from non-Members. The answer is that if they do not possess enough intellectual capital and self-confidence to read enough of our materials here to determine for themselves if they are sovereign and "nontaxpayers" and need someone else to make that determination for them, then they do not have the ingredients necessary to be sovereign. Such people are incapable of self-government and need and deserve a huge "nanny government" to protect them from themselves. They should return to their government cage and spend the rest of their lives in economic servitude. Sovereigns don't ask for permission to do or to be anything from anyone. They make their own decisions and trust no one else but God and/or themselves to make decisions that affect them. Sovereignty begins with taking personal and exclusive responsibility for yourself. Sovereigns guard their autonomy jealously and delegate NONE of their God given authority to ANYONE, including us. Sovereignty begins with SELF GOVERNMENT.
"It would be a dangerous delusion were a confidence in the men of our choice to silence our fears for the safety of our rights... Confidence is everywhere the parent of despotism. Free government is founded in jealousy, and not in confidence. It is jealousy and not confidence which prescribes limited constitutions, to bind down those whom we are obliged to trust with power... Our Constitution has accordingly fixed the limits to which, and no further, our confidence may go... In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution."

“We of this mighty western Republic have to grapple with the dangers that spring from popular self-government tried on a scale incomparably vaster than ever before in the history of mankind, and from an abounding material prosperity greater also than anything which the world has hitherto seen.
As regards the first set of dangers, it behooves us to remember that men can never escape being governed. Either they must govern [and fully support] themselves or they must submit to being governed by others. If from lawlessness or fickleness, from folly or self-indulgence, they refuse to govern themselves then most assuredly in the end they will have to be governed from the outside [by public "servants"]. They can prevent the need of government from without only by showing they possess the power of government from within. A sovereign cannot make excuses for his failures; a sovereign must accept the responsibility for the exercise of power that inheres in him [by not becoming a permanent burden to others]; and where, as is true in our Republic, the people are sovereign, then the people must show a sober understanding and a sane and steadfast purpose if they are to preserve that orderly liberty upon which as a foundation every republic must rest.”
[President Theodore Roosevelt; Opening of the Jamestown Exposition; Norfolk, VA, April 26, 1907]
QUESTION 1.24:
Question 1.24: I am accessing the information on your website and my system appears to lock up. I am under the gun and need to view the materials on your website. What should I do?
Answer 1.24: Chances are that one of the following problems exists.
- You don't have the free Adobe Acrobat reader installed on your computer. This will cause your computer to not be able to display PDF files that you click on inside the browser, which may make it appear that it has hanged.
- You are using an old, outdated version of the free Adobe Reader software and need to upgrade to the latest free version by clicking here. That would be version 8.0 currently. If you are using older versions, you may have problems, crashes, etc.
- You clicked on a large PDF file from within your browser and are using a slow dial-up internet connection. Some files are large, such as our books or the Black's Law dictionary. If you are using a slow dial-up line, the system may appear to lock up when trying to view these large files inside your browser. Therefore, you should right click on the item inside your browser and download it to your computer and THEN and only then open it locally rather than from within your browser.
- Your computer has a virus and you need to fix it. Please install anti-virus software and try again.
As last resort, you can obtain all the materials on our website on a single DVD for quick viewing. That would be our Sovereignty Research DVD, Form #11.101.
