Three Questions

Written By Travis Daggett

Here are three questions I would encourage you to ask your congressperson:

1. Do I waive my Fifth Amendment protected rights when I file a 1040 tax return?

2. If I do waive my Fifth Amendment protected rights when I file a 1040 tax return, what statute requires me to waive them?

3. If I do not waive my Fifth Amendment protected rights when I file a 1040 Return, then why does the IRS have a Miranda‐type of warning in the Privacy Act Notice of the 1040 Instruction Book, stating that the IRS may give any information on my return to the Department of Justice, obviously for use in criminal cases?
