The 1099 OID process is a dangerous Patriot Mythology. Patriot Mythologies are legal theories that sound great and promise great results. Some of these myths are -- removing yourself from the jurisdiction of the "government's (or IRS’) jurisdiction;" "wiping out the taxes"; "untaxing yourself;" assisting you in "regaining your sovereign status;" or "removing you from admiralty or maritime jurisdiction back to Common Law where you belong. These and many other fantastic unfounded theories often promise easy and quick methods coupled with some simple "legal" paperwork.Your physical and mental health depends on your effort to stay healthy. To stay healthy you need to stay away from drugs, artificial ingredients, eat nutrient rich foods as close as possible to their natural state, and exercise your mind and body regularly. As with your physical health, common sense also dictates that to stay legally healthy there is no quick cure to get the Government or IRS out of your life regardless of how "good" the quick easy cure appears.The same is true with money. To earn and save money you have to work hard and smart, be organized and apply imagination – and more.

The promoters have their naïve followers file forms with the IRS which will dupe the IRS’ employees to send you checks as "refunds," sometime to the tune of hundreds of thousands of Dollars.Many of the people who engage the 1099 OID process will receive a check from the IRS, cash it and enjoy the money sent to them because of this procedure. However, many of them will be contacted by the IRS. The IRS will demand repayment of the monies, with penalties and interest. Fraud will be claimed by the government on the part of the person who received the money. Many of these people will be financially crushed by the IRS. A few will be prosecuted criminally and end up in prison.Don’t take such an unnecessary risk.
