What is the IRS Tax Levy
A federal tax levy is a legal seizure of your property to satisfy a back tax debt. Tax Levies are different from the federal tax lien. People often get the two confused.
A lien, is a claim used as security for the tax debt, while a levy actually takes the property to satisfy the tax debt. Therefore a levy acts as a seizure.
If you do not pay your taxes or make arrangements to settle your debt the IRS may seize and sell any type of real or personal property that you own or have an interest in.
For instance,
IRS has the ability to seize and sell property that you hold such as your car, boat, or house or IRS could levy property that is yours but is held by someone else such as your wages, retirement accounts, dividends, bank accounts, licenses, rental income, accounts receivables, the cash loan value of your life insurance, or commissions.
The Internal Revenue Service usually levy only after these three requirements are met:
a. The Internal Revenue Service assessed the tax and sent you a Notice and Demand for Payment;
b. You neglected or refused to pay the tax; and/or
c. The Internal Revenue Service sent you a Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to A Hearing (levy notice) at least 30 days before the levy.
How the delivery of the Tax Levy must be made
IRS has options, they may give you this notice:
1. in person,
2. leave it at your home or
3. your usual place of business,
4. or send it to your last known address by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. the requirement that IRS has on sending it to your last known address is specifically to send it to the last known address of the last tax return you have on file. If you have moved your responsibility to contact the Internal Revenue Service as to your new address.
Please note.
IRS can levy your state tax refund, you may receive a Notice of Levy on Your State Tax Refund, Notice of Your Right to Hearing after the levy.
Is the tax levy causing you a hardship
If a levy on your wages, bank account or other property is causing a hardship you should immediately call fresh start tax and we can begin the process of having the Internal Revenue Service place you in an economic tax hardship.
There are very specific hardship rules and buy a simple phone call to our firm we can help you determine whether you have in effect have an economic tax hardship.
If the IRS finds that you are in hardship status they will immediately remove or release your IRS tax levy or tax garnishment.
If the levy is released
A levy release does not mean you are exempt from paying the balance.
The IRS will work with you to establish payment plans or take other steps to help you pay off the balance.
To help ensure quick action, please have the fax number available for the bank or employer office that is processing the levy.
If the IRS does not remove the tax levy
You may ask an IRS manager to review your case, or you may request a Collection Due Process hearing with the Office of Appeals by filing a request for a Collection Due Process hearing with the IRS office listed on your notice.
Requests must be filed within 30 days
You must file your request within 30 days of the date on your notice.
Some of the issues you may discuss include:
1. You paid all you owed before we sent the levy notice,
2. The IRS assessed the tax and sent the levy notice when you were in bankruptcy, and subject to the automatic stay during bankruptcy,
3. The IRS made a procedural error in an assessment,
4. The time to collect the tax (called the statute of limitations) expired before we sent the levy notice,
5. You did not have an opportunity to dispute the assessed liability,
6. You wish to discuss the collection options, or
7. You wish to make a spousal defense.
Appeals hearing to remove an IRS tax Levy
At the conclusion of your hearing, the Office of Appeals will issue a determination. You will have 30 days after the determination date to bring a suit to contest the determination. Refer to Publication 1660 (PDF), for more information.
You also may ask the manager to review your case. If the matter is still unresolved, the manager can explain your rights to appeal to the Office of Appeals.
Levying Your Wages, Federal Payments, State Refunds, or Your Bank Account
If the IRS sends a levy your wages, salary, federal payments or state refunds, the levy will end when:
1. The levy is released,
2. You pay your tax debt, or
3. The time expires for legally collecting the tax.
Levy on bank accounts
If we levy your bank account, your bank must hold funds you have on deposit, up to the amount you owe, for 21 days.
This holding period allows time to resolve any issues about account ownership. After 21 days, the bank must send the money plus interest, if it applies, to the IRS.
Levy on Wages
It should be noted that a 668W- levy on wages is a continuous levy your wages. It will be continued week after week until you secure a release of wage levy from the Internal Revenue Service. By contacting IRS Tax Levy Attorneys we can get your levy released on your case settled.

How to Negotiation with the IRS – Former IRS Agents can do the Best IRS Negotiations 1-866-700-1040
If you are to negotiate with the Internal Revenue Service you must do so out of experience and knowledge. There are no better IRS tax negotiators with the IRS than former IRS Agents and Managers.
We have over 205 years of professional tax experience and over 60 years of direct experience working for the Internal Revenue Service and the local, district, and regional tax offices of the IRS.
We are true experts in IRS tax negotiations.
We have negotiated large tax debts with the IRS and have handled many tax audit settlements, and also the filing a back income tax returns.
You can contact us today for free tax consultation and hear the truth on how to best negotiate your tax case.
It is okay for taxpayers to negotiate with the Internal Revenue Service on their own as long as they understand the provisions and settlement formulas that are put out by the Internal Revenue Service.
It is critical to know that every single case that is worked by the IRS there are both boundaries and guidelines that dictate the practice of every particular case.
With that said, we can provide free tax counsel so you can hear the truth about your case and that will allow you to find out whether you want to engage Internal Revenue Service in the tax negotiation.
When you deal with the Internal Revenue Service during any negotiation is very important and critical that you lie about nothing. IRS knows way more about you than you think before the negotiation is ever started.
If you misstate or misrepresent yourself there can be criminal charges of perjury brought up especially if you have signed a document that was false.
On truly simple matters I would recommend taxpayers represent themselves in the issues. On high dollar cases, cases that involve sensitivities, or cases that have skeletons in their closet, in those case it is always best to hire a true tax professional that has working knowledge of the Internal Revenue Service and has worked thousands of IRS negotiation cases.
So the bottom line is to negotiate in truth and in fact.
Be able to prove every statement you make to the point that you can send documentation to the IRS to verify any and all statements that you make.

Government results for FBAR, Offshore Bank Help
The IRS collected more than $50 billion in enforcement revenue in FY 2012, the third year in a row topping that figure. The 2012 numbers were lower than 2010 and 2011, which were unusual years with enforcement dollars helped by large numbers of offshore tax cases coming in.
More than 38,000 disclosures of offshore accounts have been made to date through the IRS’ offshore voluntary disclosure programs. In addition, the economic slowdown contributed to lower enforcement figures, as most enforcement dollars collected resulted from audits of returns for years during the slowdown.

Information from the Internal Revenue Service regarding collections and audits
The Internal Revenue Service delivered a strong year for taxpayers during FY 2012, maintaining key service and enforcement priorities despite a number of challenges.
In the enforcement area, audits of individuals topped 1 million for the sixth year in a row, with a 1.03% coverage rate out of all tax returns filed. Audits in the upper income ranges remained substantially higher than other categories.
The IRS increased examinations across all categories of business returns by more than 12% in FY 2012, with the largest increases coming in audits of flow-through entities, which include partnerships and Subchapter S corporations. Rates exceeded 20% for the largest corporations.
The IRS collected more than $50 billion in enforcement revenue in FY 2012, the third year in a row topping that figure. The 2012 numbers were lower than 2010 and 2011, which were unusual years with enforcement dollars helped by large numbers of offshore tax cases coming in. More than 38,000 disclosures of offshore accounts have been made to date through the IRS’ offshore voluntary disclosure programs. In addition, the economic slowdown contributed to lower enforcement figures, as most enforcement dollars collected resulted from audits of returns for years during the slowdown.
Another factor behind the FY 2012 numbers reflected changes in agency staffing and budget resources. After a nearly flat budget in FY 2011, the IRS’ FY 2012 budget was reduced by $305 million. This reduction affected the level of staffing available to deliver service and enforcement programs. Overall full-time staffing has declined by more than 8% over the last two years, and staffing for key enforcement occupations fell nearly 6% in the past year.
Also in FY 2012, the IRS continued to confront the challenge of refund fraud caused by identity theft. The IRS more than doubled the number of staff dedicated to preventing refund fraud and assisting taxpayers victimized by identity theft, with more than 3,000 employees working in this area.
As a result of these increased efforts, the IRS in FY 2012 was able to prevent the issuance of more than 3 million fraudulent refunds worth more than $20 billion, an increase from approximately 1.8 million refunds worth about $14 billion the previous year.
On the service side, the IRS saw continued strong growth in electronic filing by individuals, as the e-filing rate in FY 2012 exceeded 80% for the first time. Taxpayer interest in online interactions continued to increase as well, with web page visits on IRS.gov up nearly 17% to 372 million.
