I just handled a case like this for someone in Massachusetts.
I have a few questions and invite you to write to me with the
answers or to call me on Wednesday.
The biggest question I have for YOU is this: when did you file your
FOIA request? Next question: what did you request?
Last question: Where did you get your cites, etc.?
(My guess is that there's a website giving out
such information; I'd like to see it first hand.)
In very specific cases, the IRS will end up paying the
costs of litigation. I've become an expert on that by now.
If you'll answer these questions for me, I can steer you
straight, including venue and a few other jurisdictional
issues as well as assess your likelihood of prevailing.
