Despite Policy Changes, IRS Seizes $107,000 From Innocent Small Business

 

Dear J. Henry,  

Before tax collectors targeted small-business 

man Lyndon McLellan for civil forfeiture, over 

13 years he had amassed savings of over a 

hundred thousand dollars. Without trial or 

charge, the Internal Revenue Service 

confiscated the money after accusing of the 

North Carolina convenience store owner of 

structuring cash deposits in amounts too 

closely under the law's $10,000 threshold.

In the wake of a scathing October report by 

"Last Week Tonight with John Oliver," the 

IRS amended its own guidelines, pledging it 

would use civil forfeiture only in light of 

evidence citizens had obtained assets in the 

course of criminal activity -- an allegation 

they apparently never made against McLellan.
