Questions Patriots Frequently Ask Us:

Q.) Why did Richard Grant go to jail?

Richard Grant is a former Freedom Law School (FLS) student who stopped filing and paying income tax BEFORE he came to us. The IRS criminally charged Richard, and instead of using the lawyer we PLEADED with Richard to get, he hired his own lawyer, ignoring our suggestions.

Unfortunately, Richard’s choice of lawyer left him unprepared in his defense and in his understanding of IRS procedures, leading Richard to his prison sentence.

Now federal income tax-shills and internet trolls alike try to use Richard Grant’s loss to disprove FLS credibility.

However, with the full truth revealed as well as a plethora of victories, we stand confident with ALL of our students against the illegal collection of the Federal Income Tax.

Q.) How do I stop my employer from withholding from my pay?

It's Easy! We have a very informative page which will show you the steps you need to stop withholding of Federal income tax from your paycheck! Review it here.

Q.) How can Freedom Law School keep me out of prison if I stop filing and paying income taxes?

Surprisingly, per IRS' own numbers, you are far more likely to be convicted of a "tax crime" if you file 1040 income tax confession trap forms than not filing a 1040 form with the IRS. See IRS' numbers here: IRS Proof 

For example, in 2015 3,052 FILERS were convicted, whereas only 167 NON-FILERS were convicted for tax crimes.

I got a letter from the IRS or my state revenue agency and I am freaking out! What do I do?

First, take a deep breath! Know that the IRS is NOT as powerful as they would like you to think. Next, visit our Get Quick Help page to find out answers on if or how to respond, and how to protect yourself from these paper tiger agencies.

Q.) Does the “Includes and Including” clause in IRC 7701(c) mean you are INCLUDED as a taxpayer?

Q.) How about the 87,000 new IRS Agents to be hired?

Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which is the next step in funding the IRS to hire 87,000 new employees. Is it for real or a bluff to scare you?

Most concerning to the public is that the job listings include carrying firearms, implying that majority of these new hires may be special agents.

Shortly thereafter, on Monday evening, former president Donald Trump’s Florida home was violently raided by the FBI in pursuit of “official documents.” What was the true intention and motive behind this? And how can we stop voluntarily funding federal overreach like this?

Is the raid of Trumps home in Florida on August 8, 2022 a bad thing? Is it an indictment of Trump or does it expose the criminality of the FBI and U.S. Dept of INJustice? How will this raid help restore freedom in America?

Peymon will separate the propaganda from the fiction, showing you what you can expect and how it may affect you.

Q.) Have you actually had success using this method in court?

MANY successes, in all different forms!

Attempted property seizures, levies, and more stopped in their tracks with the persistence and unique strategies of Freedom Law School.

We are so confident in our successes, that we offer a 100% guarantee. If the IRS successfully steals your hard-earned assets at the fault of Freedom Law School, we will reimburse you in full, period.

Q.) Is mailing cash SAFE?

Yes — by sending your contribution through the U.S. Mail (USPS), not through private couriers such as FedEx or UPS.
Tampering with U.S. Mail is a federal criminal offense, offering you a much higher level of protection. Private shipments do not carry this federal safeguard.

We require that you send your package using our shipping protocol. Doing so will ensures that your mail is:

  • Identified for any damage or tampering during transit
  • Tracked at every step of the journey
  • Signed for upon delivery to our PO Box
  • Handled exclusively by U.S. Postal Service employees, all of whom have sworn a federal oath of office

Freedom Law School has relied on USPS for over 20 years and we are fully confident in its reliability. In fact, we guarantee packages that are sent following our specific mailing instructions. If any of Freedom Law School’s shipping criteria are not followed, the mailer assumes full responsibility for the package and its contents, including any lost or uncredited funds.

View Mailing Instructions

Freedom Law School requires that you send your cash payments through the United States Postal Services (USPS) by Registered Mail®.

Before going to the post office you will wrap your cash payment in a copy of your application, copy of your consultation order form, or a piece of paper with your contact information written on it. Place the wrapped cash in a regular mailing envelope. Address the envelope to Freedom Law School and include your own address in the return mail section. Take the envelope into the post office.When you get to the post office you will go to the counter to request a Priority Mail® envelope or box. IMPORTANT: Priority Mail® envelopes and boxes are white with red writing on them. Put your envelope with your cash payment into the envelope or box.

CRITICAL: Tell the post office clerk to add the Registered® mailing service to your package. The post office clerk will provide you with a Registered® mail slip to fill out.

IMPORTANT: The post office clerk may suggest alternative methods for shipping, but you must insist that the package ship by Registered® mail. The post office clerk should use brown tape to cover all edges of the envelope or box. On the Registered® mail slip declare that the content includes personal documentation. On the Registered® mail slip insure the package for the minimum amount of $500. Collect your receipt and the tracking information from the post office clerk. IMPORTANT: Registered® tacking numbers always start with the letter “R”, if your tracking number does not start with the letter “R” you need to inquire from the clerk as to why. When you leave the post office you will call Freedom Law School and provide the Registered® tracking number. Keep the receipt from the post office until Freedom Law School calls and confirms the package has been received.

Q.) Why does Freedom Law School only accept cash or cryptocurrency for tuition payments?

You give up your privacy when you use banks instead of cash cryptocurrency.
‍
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1976 that the American people have “no expectation of [financial] privacy” when using banks and bank instruments to conduct financial affairs.

The court also concluded that the American People give up their right to financial privacy “voluntarily” when they use banks. For more information, see our blog article "U.S. Supreme Court says DO NOT USE BANKS, to protect financial privacy".

Q.) What about State Income Taxes?

This all depends on your state! Some states have no state income tax at all, some states income tax laws and/or forms 'piggy-back' on the federal laws and forms, while other states have income tax forms and laws independent of the federal government. So far, we have only identified a few states as absolutely requiring state income taxes, that being Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Alabama, and Mississippi.

We always walk our Restore Freedom Plan members through the best way to approach the income tax laws of your state. Even if you MUST pay state income tax, this does NOT mean you have to pay federal income tax. You are still eligible for all of our plans, regardless of the state you are located in, and we will help you through the process of understanding.

Q.) What Happens if Peymon Dies?

Fear not! For many years Peymon has been accumulating his wisdom and strategies, documenting them, and passing them along to passionate activists who will one day be able to carry on Freedom Law School. You will not be stuck when Peymon passes away.

Q.) If there is no law requiring the average American to file and pay income tax, why did the late-great patriot Irwin Schiff go to prison?

Irwin Schiff was a very honorable patriot to be commended for his work in the Tax-Honesty and Freedom Movements.  Irwin however made mistakes and refused to accept advice from Peymon and others.  While Irwin was technically 100% correct on the fact that there is no law requiring the average American to file and pay income taxes, he did not follow PROCEDURES to protect himself better from the CORRUPT DEEP STATE court systems.  

Freedom Law School provides tools necessary to beat the DEEP STATE in court. Simply put, while technically correct in his legal stance, Irwin was a political prisoner who refused to accept advice/feedback from others.

Q.) Why did Wesley Snipes go to prison for tax crimes?

Wesley Snipes relied on something we warn you about at Freedom Law School: FAKE PATRIOT MYTHOLOGY.  Wesley Snipes did not get a prison sentence from following Freedom Law School's advice.  He relied on the false advice of Eddie Kahn and mailed in a fake, phony, fraudulent receipt to the IRS for taxes he owed, expecting a refund.  However, the DEEP STATE used his conviction to FRIGHTEN THE SHEEP away from "tax protester" arguments.

Q.) Can I claim sovereign citizenship, or does using a ZIP code make me a part of the District of Columbia?  Does my name in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS refer to my straw man?  Am I out of the federal government's jurisdiction?

These theories are what Freedom Law School refers to as "BASELESS LEGAL THEORIES" or "PATRIOT MYTHOLOGIES."  With the ease of internet communications, these baseless theories spread like weeds, offering fantasy solutions to common Freedom and Tax Honesty Movement issues.  They sound great, but in reality do not work. Unfortunately, in dealing with the corrupt IRS and U.S. government, there are no "silver bullet" miracle cures.

I do not want to get in touch with the IRS.  I do not want the IRS to know where I live. Can I NOT submit a change of address form to the IRS?

Unfortunately, due to regulations, you MUST submit your current address (which can be a PO box or private mailbox) to the IRS.  The purpose of keeping your address current is to enable you to legally combat actions the IRS may take against you.  If you do not, the IRS can claim, for example, that they sent you collections documents yet you never responded refuting their collections efforts.

Can I travel without a drivers license?

No, you must have a drivers license, license plate, registration, etc. Roads are government built, maintained and funded roads.

Do not buy into patriot mythology. We love promoting freedoms, but some theories, even when they sound well-put, are simply wrong.

How about Green Card Holders and income taxes?

If you are a green card holder, you still do not have to file and pay income tax, unless you are a resident of Washington D.C. or you are performing work functions of the federal government.

How do I buy a home without a tax return?

There are Mortgage Brokers who do not need to see tax returns, and there are absolutely ones that are 100% legit! For example, see this very helpful explanation, "No Tax Returns? No Problem", by Scott Smith of New Destiny Mortgage.

Watch the below video for detailed info on how to do this. Many of our FLS members have been successful in becoming home owners without providing tax returns.

Q.) The IRS filed a tax lien against me! What do I do!?

A federal income tax lien only applies to real estate you own in the county it was recorded in.  The lien expires 10 years after filing. The IRS can renew a lien for another 10 years, but usually does not.

The lien is only effective if you sell or refinance the property before the lien expires. The closing or escrow company will deduct the amount of the lien from the proceeds of the sale and send that amount to the U.S. Treasury.

If you own real estate in the county in which the lien was filed, you might consider occupying or renting out the property until after the lien expires. Tax liens do not affect one's credit score.For example, in 2015 3,052 FILERS were convicted, whereas only 167 NON-FILERS were convicted for tax crimes.
