Did the U.S. government file a civil suit against Vernice Kuglin for back taxes?

8-11-2004

Yes, and she and her attorney successfully defended themselves (she
was found not guilty of tax evasion), in US District Court, Western
District of Tennessee (Memphis), Case # 03-CR-20111, USA vs. Kuglin,
verdict rendered in approximately August 15, 2003.  Do a GOOGLE search
using the phrase "Vernice Kuglin" (in quotation marks) and you will
see many links with information about this case.

It is unlikely that the IRS will file a civil suit against Vernice
Kuglin. The only one they might contemplate filing would be one to
reduce her assessment to a judgment. Such suits are rare. Collection
of the tax already assessed can be collected without a suit. 
Assessment of the as yet unassessed taxes does not require a suit. 
Kuglin could file a petition with the Tax Court for a redetermination
of any proposed assessments, but that would be rather silly
considering that her attorney has conceded liability on her behalf.
