Polselli v. IRS: Can the IRS seize the financial records of your lawyer to investigate you?
Polselli v. IRS: Can the IRS seize the financial records of your lawyer to investigate you?

Remo Polselli owes for $2 million in taxes and penalties to the IRS.

The IRS is searching for Mr. Polselli’s assets and demanded the financial records from the banks used by the law firm he was a client at.

Does this seem like unconstitutional overreach to you?

The IRS did not even notify the law firm that they were doing this.

Usually the IRS would need to notify people so that person could then sue the government to prevent the summons.

Congress passed legislation that basically says the IRS does not need to send any notice if they are trying to collect against a person.
