When I was an insurance agent for Farm Bureau Financial Services, I purchased a Disability Policy through an Agents Association.
In time I had to apply for permanent Disability and had no trouble with the process and immediately requested that $300 be deducted monthly for FIT to be applied to a tax debt. The first check arrived minus the $300 as requested. This was December of 2006.
In 2008, I became aware that my withholding was not being sent to the IRS. That is when I began making phone calls. For two years, I made phone calls, faxed information to one person after another including the IRS. In 2011 I told UnitedHealthCare Insurance to discontinue taking withholding from my monthly benefit as I didn't want any more money disappearing. I also made it clear that the IRS was working on the situation.
That was the first year I received a W-2 stating I had untaxable benefits and it also showed that partial year of withholding. I asked them to send W-2's to prove they deducted the amounts and that they sent the money to the IRS.
At this time, they owe me $14,700, plus interest and penalties that I am being charged by the IRS. Lawyers are too expensive but this is a horrible thing to do to someone who bought this policy through their Agents Association in full faith.

Of course there is more to it. If I were to put all the notes in this that I have, I would have to write a book. So don't assume you know more than you do.
I have pages and pages of documentation showing correspondence between the IRS, myself and United Health Care. The telephone calls I made are unbelievable. When I threatened them with the lawyer and told them to quit taking the withholding out is the year they sent a W-2 and according to the IRS person that I sat in front of on 4/6/2016, (yesterday) that is the only amount they received.
I have pay stubs to prove the amounts were taken out. United Health Care was also told by the IRS that they needed to issue me W-2's for the previous years so I could ammend my taxes which they have not done. So don't assume that I have not been working on this on an ongoing basis.
Whether you believe me or not is irrelevent. I have documentation to prove everything and I will continue to fight to get my money.

The IRS is coming after you for $14,700 plus Interest and Penalties..which probably amounts to close to $20,000. Yet you will go ahead and just pay that because you don't want to spend a few hundred dollars on a lawyer because they cost too much?
It is interesting how you stated to have them deduct $300 to pay for a "tax debt"...not withholding, not future taxes but a debt as in one that you already incurred.
If this was a tax debt the IRS is very good about telling you how much they have received, and how much you still owe. If it was just regular withholding where did you come up with the amount of $300? What did you do in that 5 years to make sure that the IRS was recording it properly? At the very least when you did your taxes you should have been able to see if something was off.
Nope...sorry but there is a lot more here than you are saying.
