or is found. Peoples B.ank, the pa1ty to be summoned, is located in Tulsa CoW1ty,

Oklahoma.
Background
3.

Petitioner is a nonprofit, charitable organization - a church - incorporated

in Nevada and authorized to do business in Oklahoma.

4.

The IRS has been conducting an investigation relating to Petitioner's

assessed payroll tax liabilities ("Form 941 taxes") fo1 the fh'st, second, third, and fourth
quarters of 2014 and the third and fourth qual'ters of 2015.
5.

On June 20, 2016, IRS Revenue Offic~r Jay Bryce issued a summons to

Peoples Bank, Petitioner's bank. A copy of the USPS certified mail envelope containing
the copy of the summons mailed to Petitioner, reflecting a postmark date of June 21,
2016, is attached as Exhibit B to this petition. The Church received a copy of the
summons on or arotmd June 22, 2016. The _summons directs Peoples Bank to produce
the following documents concerning Petitioner on July 18, 2016 at 9:00 am:

a.

Bank signature cards in effect from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2016;

b.

Corporate resolutions in effect from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2016;

c.

Bank statements from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2016;

d.

. Two (2) cancelled checks issued each month by taxpayer during

each month of the period from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2016; and

Page 2 of 5

Case 4:16-mc-00017-CVE-TLW Document 1 Filed in USDC ND/OK on 07/11/16 Page 3 of 21

e.

Loan applications, agreements, and related records (including

corporate financial statements), submitted by, entered into by, or in
effect from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2016.

6.

Since the issuance of the summons, the Church has fully paid and satisfied

all Form 941 taxes (including penalties and interest) for the tax periods in controversy.1

A copy of certified cashier's checks date-stamped by the IRS, along with IRS payoff
calculator statements, are attached to the petition as Exhibit C.
7.

Petitioner has attempted to avoid filing this motion to quash by requesting

the IRS withdraw the summons. In fact, Petitioner has attempted to communicate with
the IRS on multiple occasions in multiple ways, including via telephone, voice
messages, and written correspondence over the course of the two (2) months since the
IRS first had direct contact with Petitioner. Despite Petitioner's repeated attempts, the
IRS has been alarmingly uncommunicative, with the lone exception of a single voice
message stating only that the Revenue Officer was returning a call from Petitioner's
attorneys. Unfortunately, the IRS has not conmmnicated to Petitioner that it will
withdraw the summons.

The IRS Summons lists Form 941 tax periods fo1 the second and third quarters of 2014; first, third, and
fourth quarters of 2015; and first quarter of 2016 ("tax periods"). However, Form 941 taxes for first
quarter 2016 have not been assessed and are not currently in controversy.

Page 3 of 5

Case 4:16-mc-00017-CVE-TLW Document 1 Filed in USDC ND/OK on 07/11/16 Page 4 of 21

Petition to Quash
8.

The court should quash the IRS summons because Petitioner has paid in

full the tax liability that precipitated the IRS investigation and summons to Peoples

Bank, leaving no legitimate purpose for the summons.

9.

Every valid summons must: (1) be issued for a legitimate purpose; (2) seek

information that "may be relevant" to the investigation; (3) seek information that is not
aheady in the IRS's possession; and (4) follow all administrative steps required by the

Internal Revenue Code. 26 U.S.C. 7602; United States v. Powell, 379 U.S. 48 (1964).
10.

With no taxes in controversy, there can be no legitimate purpose for the

summons. Because the information sought by the IRS summons is no longer relevant to
the IRS' s investigation to collect delinquent taxes and no longer serves a legitimate
purpose in furtherance of an IRS investigation co;ncerning taxes in conh"oversy, the
court should quash the summons and direct Peoples Bank not to provide the requested
documents to the IRS.
Request for Relief
11.

Petitioner respectfully requests that the Court quash the IRS summons

issued to Peoples Bank and grant Petitioner all such further relief to which Petitioner

may be entitled.
