IRS to check tax shelters, audit abusers
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The head of the Internal Revenue Service declared war on "tax shelter schemes" yesterday and said taxpayers abusing such loopholes were sure to have their 1983 audits.
IRS Commissioner Roscoe Egger said the returns would be mailed to the nation's 90 million taxpayers Dec. 23. The 1983 forms will be nearly identical to last year and the six to eight weeks necessary for a refund will not change.

Egger said the chances of having a tax return audited depended primarily on "four factors." He listed them as, "tax shelter, tax shelter, tax shelter, tax shelter."
The chance of being audited climbs to
100 percent if the returns involve
what Egger called "abusive tax shelter"
and relief benefits to unrealistic amounts.
Each of the IRS's 63 districts has a staff member responsible for tracking down every tax shelter being offered in that area, he said. "This is an effort to help taxpayers identify the tax shelters schemes that are being pledged in each district."
Under a new procedure, when the 108 find that a return offers more tax savings than allowed, the taxpayer can waive that shelter is considered abusive.
WASHINGTON — Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Roscoe Egger speaks as Al Brooks, assistant director of forms division, looks on during a press conference. The officials are introducing a laser-assisted mechanical reader that will scan the simplest tax form, the 1040 EZ, and transfer it to a computer.
Study says Social Security problems common
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — An Ohio retiree told Congress yesterday he has yet to insure the red tape created when the social Security Administration deemed him dead a year ago and took 14,000 back benefits of his bank account.
James Badgero of Worthington, Ohio, joined other Social Security pensioners and their relatives in telling the Senate Special Committee on Aging about their troubles in dealing with the currency.
Problems are relatively common, with a General Accounting Office study
showing 20 percent of all Americans are likely to receive at least one wrong Social Security check, GAO official Joseph Delice testified.
Committee Chairman John Heinz R.Pa., agreed, complaining of "persistent and prevalent problems" that have left the Social Security Administration frequently unable "to get the right back to the right person at the time."
Acting Social Security Commissioner Martha McSteen, on the job less than three months, acknowledged the agency's problems. But she also told the secretary that "revealization of SSA's delivery of service" and that she expected improvements would accompany the modernization of the outdated Social Security system.
Badgero, who asked lawmakers to "understand that I harbor no ill will against the Social Security Administration," voiced concern about the threat to "enter into my bank account and retrieve money without the process of law."
The money has since been returned to his account, Badgero said, adding that the agency also has reclassified him as living.
Latin American officials denied visas
BORGE TOLD REPORTERS by way of a telephone call to the Nicaraguan Embassy that the administration wanted to deny Americans the Nicaraguan viewpoint and that President Reagan turned down the visa because he "does not want to give the impression of softening up.
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The administration yesterday rejected visa requests by a senior official of the leftist government in Nicaragua and a rightist leader in the U.S.-backed government of El Salvador.
"This can be interpreted as a hardening of the line of the government
State Department spokesman John Hughes said no connection existed between the denials for Tomas Borge, Nicaragua's interior minister, and Roberto d'Aubisson, leader of the rightist AENA party in El Salvador.

THE ADMINISTRATION WAS concerned that the main purpose of Borge's visit was not to promote communication with Washington but to attain a public forum to criticize Reagan's policies.
"There are plenty of other opportunities for hearing what the Nicaragua
"I think all opportunities the Nicaraguan government put forth, the U.S. government will put an obstacle in front of" Borge said.
PERSONALIZED K U JAYHAWKER CHECKS
Some White House officials encouraged by the quick U.S. victory in Grenada, appear to favor a military solution to the Cuban and Soviet support regime in Nicaragua, as reflected by the millions of dollars in aid for some 10,000 CIA-backed rebels fighting the Sandinistas.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua — In an apparent attempt to keep alive claims of a planned U.S. invasion, Nicaragua charged yesterday that U.S. warships entered its waters and American planes flew over a key port.
By United Press International
THE SHIPS SIGHTED were thought to be carrying out maneuvers some 13 miles off the resort town of El Velo, located near Puerto Sandino, the main Pacific port city 36 miles northeast of Managua, the ministry statement said.
Reagan has said he doubts any political settlement with Nicaragua is possible while the Sandimista regime is in power.
Last week, Nicaragua began making overtures to its domestic opposition and foreign critics in apparent response to the United States' WU plans to launch an invasion
The United States denied it had any warships off the Nicaraguan coast.
D'ABURUSSON, PRESIDENT of El Salvador's Constituent Assembly, was permitted to visit the United States in May but he is no political favorite of the government. He has worked with the growing carriage of rightist militia death squads in El Salvador
In Washington, Navy officials said there is one American frigate off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, the only one on the Pacific side of Central America.
