Harvard Supports CIC Services’ Suit Against IRS

CIC Services is currently suing the IRS for its unlawful Notice 2016-66. Support for this lawsuit continues to mount as more respected institutions are taking notice of administrative state overreach and the harmful effects of the abuse of power. In this instance, the abuse of power is by the IRS.

The latest institution to support CIC’s lawsuit is the Tax Clinic At The Legal Services Center Of Harvard Law School. They recently filed an Amicus Brief with the Supreme Court Of The United States in support of CIC Services’ lawsuit against IRS Notice 2016-66.

The brief correctly argues that administrative state overreach is dangerous to U.S. citizens, particularly, low income citizens, who have access to fewer resources to defend themselves. Below is an excerpt from the brief:

As the Court considers the request for writ of certiorari, it should be noted that this is not a situation where the taxpayer should look to the legislative branch to solve the issue. Indeed, Congress has already addressed this issue. The AIA was not intended to present taxpayers with a choice between either jeopardizing their financial well-being or acquiescing to one governmental branch’s decision-making that inappropriately imposes requirements or unnecessary burdens. Furthermore, Congress enacted the APA to allow the judicial branch to hear a broad array of pre-enforcement challenges, and the Sixth Circuit did not properly exercise its authority in refusing to hear the pre-enforcement challenge to the reporting requirements at issue here. As this issue implicates fundamental constitutional values that are threatened by this far-reaching administrative decision, it is vital that it is resolved by the Supreme Court.Please call me or e-mail me to discuss any questions you may have about risk management and captive insurance companies.
