Is it possible to sue the IRS for mishandling funds?

Question

This is a serious question. Any info would be great.

Answer 1

hahaha! They will tie you up in litigation for so long you won't see a result in your lifetime

Answer 2

I think you have to have permission from Congress to sue the government.  Good luck.  You ought to be able to, but I doubt it would be satisfactory, in reality.

The IRS has a "complaints" office.  I doubt you'll get what you want, but it's worth a try.  You can also complain to your congressperson.  Of course, they are subject to the IRS, too, so they might not be aggressive about helping you.

Answer 3

Good luck trying, you will never win.

Answer 4

You'd need to post more info on the problem for anyone to state a sensible opinion.

Answer 5

You can file a suit against anybody for anything.  Winning is tougher.

I can't determine exactly what your real issue is but expect it is something that would result in a summary dismissal of the case for failure to state a claim for which relief could be granted.

Answer 6

How exactly did they mishandle funds?

Answer 7

You can sue anyone you want to.  The real question is:  Can you win?

Agaist the IRS.....No, probably not.

Answer 8

I would assume so, but like the others have said, it may take a long time for them to actually deal with it.  However, if you have a good attorney that can threaten the lawsuit, it might help, but this is just me being curious also, LOL.  I wish I could find the answer to that with the Social Security office.
