Why Prior Filing Creates Presumption
It is April 6, Welcome to yestohellwith.com.
One of the greatest traps in the system is this:
What you did yesterday becomes the evidence against you tomorrow.
If you filed tax returns for 10 years, 20 years, or even 60 years, the IRS assumes that you remain within the same class forever.
It does not ask whether your understanding has changed. It does not ask whether your status has changed. It presumes continuity.
Why?
Because prior conduct becomes the record.
The IRS says: You filed before. Therefore, you admit that you are liable now.
But the Liberty Dialogues teaches that prior conduct does not automatically establish present obligation.
The proper question is:
By what authority do you conclude that I remain within the same class today?
Most people never ask that question.
Instead, they remain silent. And silence allows the prior presumption to continue.
This is why documented Good Faith Beliefs are so important.
If your understanding changes, you must put that changed understanding into the record.
You must say:
I no longer accept the assumptions that I accepted before. I require clarification. I require proof.
Otherwise, the system will continue using your own history against you.
The record matters. And if you do not create your own record, someone else will create it for you.
And as always, may truth reign supreme.
