re winning tax case dreitman oregon uoregon edu daniel r reitman attorney to be writes which makes it legally unsound if i were representing mr teel i d try a procedural approach if i could find one or recommend he plea bargain he s setting himself up to be in hot water indeed reading the cases of people who ve tried the various things mr teel suggests show that defendants fall into two classes those who win on procedural grounds or some grounds not related to their claim and those who lose consider newman v schiff f d th cir which i ve seen cited by tax protestors other than mr teel as a win for mr schiff mr schiff offered on tv to anyone who would call in the show and cite any section of the internal revenue code that says that an individual has to file a return mr newman took him up on it mr newman had seen the show in a rebroadcast the next morning mr schiff claimed that the offer only extended to people who actually say the original broadcast and so there was no offer for mr newman to accept and so no unilateral contract was formed and so mr schiff did not have to pay mr schiff was correct and so won so yes mr schiff won against a claim on the reward however his win had nothing to do with the tax code tim smith
