The IRS can ignore procedure

Most people hear about “proper order” and think it means protection. It doesn’t. Following the right sequence does not control the IRS. It controls you. And that distinction matters. It’s January 13, 2026. Welcome to YestoHellWith.com. Here’s the reality. The IRS can ignore procedure

. They can ignore objections. They can ignore unanswered questions and move forward anyway. They can assess without responding. Enforce without resolving disputes. Levy while jurisdiction is contested. And litigate without curing defects. This happens every day. So no—proper order does not guarantee success. Anyone claiming otherwise is lying. So why does order matter at all? Because the goal is not immediate victory. The goal is position. Proper sequencing prevents you from supplying missing elements. It limits what can honestly be claimed about your participation. And it creates a record that exposes misconduct instead of concealing it. Order doesn’t stop the machine. It keeps you from becoming fuel for it. That distinction determines everything that comes next.
