The IRS is in a good position to be rogue. US title 26, section 7433 (part of the tax code) is the tax code remedy law.

As soon as a taxpayer gets into court, the IRS employee is removed from the process, and the taxpayer lawsuit is one against the US government. Not too bad, you think? Note this - IRS employees know this law. They know that they can break laws and not be punished. They do break laws.

There used to be an IRS agent here that would disallow legal deductions when auditing. When you (or your accountant) complained to the IRS they ignored it because he was meeting his quotas.
