US v Snipes (cont'd)

The subject of this massive document was “Filing of Amended Return, and Tax Statements” and Snipes made numerous claims throughout:

1.He doesn’t have a Social Security Number or Tax ID number

 2. his name is Wesley Trent Snipes, not WESLEY TRENT SNIPES

3. his advisors had filed that amended Form 1040 for 1997 in his name and he now issued a “sincere apology about the 1997 filing”; he claimed that when he filed the amended return in 2001, he “didn’t have the legal skills” that he does now and admitted that the “refund attempt may have been illegal.”

4. he complained that he was being both ignored and persecuted

5. he made it clear that he has not waived his sovereign immunity

6. he asserted that he is a “nontaxpayer” not a taxpayer and is therefore free from taxes

7. after claiming that he is a nonresident alien and instead of finally filing a normal Form 1040, he submitted a blank amended Form 1040NR-EZ and stamped “NOT LIABLE” on it in huge block letters

8. he called the prosecutor and IRS people “public dis-servants” among other insults

9. he threatened “significant personal liability” for anyone who tried to collect from him

10. “Warning: pursuit of such a high profile target will open the door for your increased collateral risk.”
