San Antonio Room C-101, First floor My Telephone Number: (915) 534-6484 Your Federal tax return for the above year(s) has been assigned to me for examination. Because I need additional information to verify certain items reported on your return, I would like to meet with you at the time and place shown above. If you filed a joint return, either you or your spouse may keep the appointment or you may have an attorney, a certified public accountant, an individual enrolled to practice before the Internal Revenue Service, or a qualified unenrolled individual represent or accompany you. If you are not present, however, your representative must have written authorization to represent you. Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative or Form 8821, Tax Information Authorization may be used for this purpose and if your representative does not have copies of this form, they may be obtained from one of our offices. Also, any other individual, even though not qualified to represent you, may accompany you as a witness and assist in establishing the facts in your case. About the records needed to examine your return -- To help me make the examination as brief as possible, please have the following information available if applicable to your return: Workpapers used in preparing your return; All Bank statements, canceled checks and deposit slips for all bank accounts - both business and personal for the period of January 1, 1996 through December 31, 1998; All books and records concerning your income, expenses, and deductions; Duplicate deposit slips (if any); Savings account passbooks; Information on other invested funds; Records of all loans and repayments; Purchase invoices covering acquisitions of capital items; Records covering purchases or sales of real estate or other property; Information on any nontaxable income; Your copy of your Federal tax return for tax years 1996, 1997, and 1998; Additional information requested on Form 4564.

The law requires taxpayers to substantiate all items affecting their tax liabilities when requested to do so. If you do not keep this appointment or do not arrange another, we will have to proceed on the basis of available return information. About the examination and your appeal rights-- We realize some taxpayers may be concerned about an examination of their tax returns. We hope we can relieve any concern that you may have by briefly explaining why we examine, what our procedures are, and what your appeal rights are if you do not agree with the results. We examine returns to verify the correctness of income, exemptions, credits and deductions. We find that the vast majority of taxpayers are honest and have nothing to fear from an examination of their tax returns. An examination of such a taxpayer's return does not suggest a suspicion of dishonesty or criminal liability. In many cases, no change is made to the tax liability reported or the taxpayer receives a refund. However, if taxpayers do not substantiate items when requested, we have to act on available return information that may be incomplete. That is why your cooperation is so important. I will go over your return and records and then explain any proposals to change your tax liability. I want you to understand fully any recommended increase or decrease in your tax, so please don't hesitate to ask questions about anything not clear to you. If changes are recommended and you agree with them, I will ask you to sign an agreement form. By signing you will indicate your agreement to the amount shown on the form as additional tax you owe, or as a refund due you, and simplify closing your case. Most people agree with our proposals, and we believe this is because they find our examiners to be fair. But you don't have to agree. If you choose, we can easily arrange for you to have your case given further consideration. You need only tell me you want to discuss the issue informally with my supervisor, and we will do our best to arrange a meeting immediately. In addition, you may request the Office of Regional Director of Appeals, which is separate from the district office, to consider your case. We will be glad to explain this procedure and how to appeal outside the Service to the courts. I will also be glad to furnish you a copy of our Publication 556, Audit of Returns, Appeal Rights, and Claims for Refund, which explains in detail our procedures covering examination of tax returns and appeal rights. You can get a copy of this publication by writing us for it or by asking for it when we meet. About repetitive examinations-- We try to avoid unnecessary repetitive examinations of the same items on returns filed by individuals, but this occasionally happens. Therefore, if this is an examination of your individual return and if the issues raised in

About your appointment-- Your appointment is the next step. If the date, time or place of the appointment is inconvenient for you, please contact me to make more suitable arrangements. I will consider the appointment confirmed if I do not hear from you at least 10 days before the scheduled date. Please contact me at the telephone number shown in the heading of this letter if you have any questions. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely yours, Stephan Haisan 74-00041 International Examiner Enclosure: Publication 1, Your Rights as a Taxpayer Notice 609, Privacy Act Notice
