What is a IRS Notice of Levy that you received ?
A tax levy is a legal seizure of your property to satisfy a tax debt.
Bank Levies and Wage Levies are different from tax liens. The two are often confused.
A federal tax lien is a claim used as security for the tax debt, while a levy actually takes the property to satisfy the tax debt. You may say that a levy is an actual seizure of an asset.
The IRS may seize and sell any type of real or personal property that you own or have an interest in. For instance,
The Internal Revenue Service could seize and sell property that you hold such as your car, boat, or house, 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.
Three requirements are met before the Internal Revenue Service can levy.
The Internal Revenue Service must;
1. Send you a Notice and Demand for Payment;
2. You neglected or refused to pay the tax; and
3. IRS 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.
The IRS must notice you by;
May give you this notice in person, leave it at your home or your usual place of business, or send it to your last known address by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
Please note: if we 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.
If you call Fresh Start Tax and we determine that you are going through a tax hardship will ask the Internal Revenue Service for immediate release of your notice of levy.
Wage Levies and Garnishments
Employers generally have at least one full pay period after receiving a Form 668-W, Notice of Levy on Wages, Salary and Other Income before they are required to send any funds from their employee’s wages.
Employers should encourage your employees that have a levy placed on their wages to contact the IRS as soon as possible to discuss a release of levy and resolution of their tax liability. As a service to our clients we usually contact the employer to let them know we are in the process of getting a wage levy released.
You can always talk to the IRS Manager
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.
You must file your request within 30 days of the date on your notice.
Some of the issues you may discuss in appeals include:
1. You paid all you owed before we sent the levy notice,
2. The 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.
At the conclusion of your hearing, the Office of Appeals
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.
If your property is levied or seized, contact the employee who took the action.
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.
