Barterers
Beware:
In February
1982 the Internal Revenue Service filed suit in U.S. District Court
to obtain the exchange and membership records of Barter Systems,
Inc., a Lubbock (TX) affiliate of a nationwide clearinghouse for
trading goods and services.
The Dallas IRS
is specifically seeking the names and social security numbers of the
group�s members�in connection with exchanges that occurred in 1979
and 1980�for the purpose of collecting unpaid taxes.
