Internal Revenue Service officials have asked a federal judge to issue an order allowing them to enter the office of Neosho dentist Darrell Hedrick and confiscate property to cover his overdue taxes.
In documents filed today in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri, IRS officer Nanette Foreman says Hedrick owes $38,401 in taxes dating back to 1998 and that he has "neglected and refused to pay." A lien has been taken out on Hedrick's property and at least 14 letters have been set to Hedrick about the debt, according to court documents.
"Dr. Hedrick has cut off all contact with the IRS," Ms. Foreman said. "I went to Dr. Hedrick's office on Jan. 3, 2006, to give Dr. Hedrick his pre-seizure notifications and he left out the back door to avoid me."
On another occasion, she said, she made an appointment to go to the office and taken an inventory of its contents. Dr. Hedrick closed the office that day and the next.
The property to be seized, Ms. Foreman said, includes "all inventory, equipment, fixtures, dental office equipment, office equipment, accounts receivable, furniture and fixtures and any safe and its contents, and any cash box or cash register and its contents."

I am a patient of Darrell's and know him personally, You could not ask for a more professional person for your healthcare needs. Just remember ,,the IRS is not the most steller of organizations. I can attest that this guy would not beat a soul out of a penny
He might not beat a soul out of a penny but it would appear he has shafted the IRS (which by the way works for you and me)out of $38,000! No, I do not work for the IRS, quite the opposite, but I do understand that it costs all of us when people choose to not pay their taxes. The actions taken by Ms Foreman, didn't happen overnight and don't normally happen without just cause.
This is very shocking to me. I have been a patients of Darrell's for over ten years, I am very surprised. I would like to see more reports with more detail. I hope that it is not true.
It's not. The IRS routinely sends 14 letters telling a taxpayer of indebtedness, followed by three more letters via certified mail, followed by a personal visit while Joe Taxpayer slips out the back door.
Dr. H may be a helluva guy, but it looks like he didn't pay his taxes for a long time.
Jeez!!!
