SUBJECT: REMISSION REQUEST NON-RESIDENT SEASONAL AGRICULTURAL WORKERS
Thank you for your memo of August 25, 1989 wherein you indicated that your request for tax remission for the above noted taxpayers was made on the basis of "results of application of the law clearly not intended".
It is our understanding that the phrase "results of application of the law clearly not intended" as used in TOM 2263.22 refers only to an unintended result because of "a flaw in the law". In the situation of the non-resident agricultural workers, the disallowance of the dependent claims without proper documentation proof was clearly within the law and there was no deficiency in the law in this respect.
As discussed in our previous memos, we find it difficult to support a recommendation for a tax remission for these taxpayers based on the minimal information available to us. We are therefore closing our file at this time.
