Dear Mr. J.,



Thanks for your reply from April 17th, 2024.

Thanks for sending the return vouchers.

I understand this case is under review and I will wait until I hear further statements from the IRS.

However, I would like to take the opportunity to inform you about the following: I already was trying to make payments to the IRS when living in Germany for my regular income tax. The payments were only possible by credit card over the Internet. This was possible because the payments were less than $5,000.- and because I did have a credit card in Germany at the time.

Financial institutions in Europe are not able to cut a check in US dollars nor are they able to transfer or wire-transfer any amount to the IRS. Financial Institutions in Europe require an IBAN number. Even Western Union in Germany refused to cut a check in US dollar, all they can do is Euro.

One question here is if I owe any tax for my inheritance in Germany, the other question is: how can the United States of America tax administration charge late fees, if they are not able to provide money transfer instructions in German that actually will be accepted by Financial Institutions in Germany.

It sounds like a joke to me, to read in the news, that millions and billions of our taxpayer money are pumped into war regions, when we the taxpayers are taxed falsely and if not, do not have a valid payment method to pay our tax obligations.



If you conclude that I indeed owe taxes for my inheritance in Germany, please add instructions on how to pay them in Germany and in a format that is acceptable for financial institutions in Germany. Should those instructions not exist or not be made available to me, I will refuse any interest payments. It is not my responsibility as a taxpayer to make sure that payment methods exist.

As a consultant, I will charge all travel expenses and consulting fees with an hour’s rate of $300.





Sincerely,

Eva
