After a review your financial statement we will be able to set up a course of strategy and get your levy released immediately.
put it this wayInformation you need to know about the IRS bank levy.
A levy is a legal seizure of your property to satisfy a tax debt.
IRS Tax Levies are different from IRS Tax Liens.
A lien is a legal claim against property to secure payment of the tax debt, while a levy actually takes the property to satisfy the tax debt.
Where does Internal Revenue Service (IRS) authority to levy originate?
The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) authorizes levies to collect delinquent tax. See IRC 6331. Any property or right to property that belongs to the taxpayer or on which there is a Federal tax lien can be levied, unless the IRC exempts the property from levy.
What actions must the Internal Revenue Service take before a levy can be issued? There are requirements IRS must meet.
The IRS will usually levy only after these three requirements are met:
• The IRS assessed the tax and sent you a Notice and Demand for Payment (a tax bill);
• You neglected or refused to pay the tax; and
• The 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 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.
If you have moved and not let the Internal Revenue Service know, many tax payers find themselves between a rock and a hard place because IRS sends the last final notice to the last filed address on the tax return.
Please note: if the IRS levies 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.
When will the IRS issue a levy?
If you do not pay your taxes (or make arrangements to settle your debt), and the IRS determines that a levy is the next appropriate action, the IRS may levy any property or right to property you own or have an interest in.
For instance, the 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). Or, the IRS could seize and sell property that you hold (such as your car, boat or house).
What if a levy on my wages, bank, or other account is causing a hardship?
If the levy on your wages is creating an immediate economic hardship, the levy must be released. If the levy on your bank account or other account is creating an immediate economic hardship, the levy may be released.
An economic hardship occurs when we have determined the levy prevents you from meeting basic, reasonable living expenses. In order for the IRS to determine if a levy is causing hardship, the IRS will usually need you to provide financial information so be prepared to provide it when you call.
A levy release does not mean you are exempt from paying the balance.
The IRS will work with you to establish a payment plan or take other steps to help you pay off the balance. To help ensure quick action, please have the fax number available for the employer, bank or other financial institution that is processing the levy.
When the levy is on a bank account, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) provides a 21-day waiting period for complying with the levy.
The waiting period is intended to allow you time to contact the IRS and arrange to pay the tax or notify the IRS of errors in the levy.
Generally, IRS levies are delivered via the mail. The date and time of delivery of the levy is the time when the levy is considered to have been made.
In the case of a bank levy, funds in the account are frozen as of the date and time the levy is received. Normally, the levy does not affect funds you add to your bank account after the date of the levy.
IRS Wage Levies may Follow 688-W
If the IRS levies (seizes) your wages, part of your wages will be sent to the IRS each pay period until:
• You make other arrangements to pay your overdue taxes,
• The amount of overdue taxes you owe is paid, or
• The levy is released.
Part of your wages may be exempt from the levy and the exempt amount will be paid to you. The exempt amount is based on the standard deduction and an “amount determined” calculated in part based on the number of dependents you are allowed for the year the levy is served.
The IRS mails Publication 1494 (PDF) with the levy which explains to your employer how to determine the amount exempt from levy.
Your employer will provide you with a Statement of Dependents and Filing Status to complete and return within three days.
If you do not return the statement in three days, your exempt amount is figured as if you are married filing separately with no dependents (zero). If you have other income sources, the IRS may allocate the exemptions to the other income source and levy on 100% of the income from a particular employer.
Levies are different from liens.
A lien is a legal claim against your property to secure payment of your tax debt, while a levy actually takes the property to satisfy the tax debt.
A federal tax lien comes into being when the IRS accesses a tax against you and sends you a bill that you neglect or refuse to pay it. The IRS files a public document, the Notice of Federal Tax Lien, to alert creditors that the government has a legal right to your property.
You have the right to appeal if the IRS advises you of the intent to file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien. Your appeal rights are explained in IRS Publication 1660, Collection Appeal Rights (PDF).
When filed, the Notice of Federal Tax Lien is a public document that alerts other creditors that the IRS is asserting a secured claim against your assets.
Credit reporting agencies may find the Notice of Federal Tax Lien and include it in your credit report. An IRS levy is not a public record.

How to Protect Yourself From Future Audits
1. Have your tax return prepared by a reliable tax return preparer. If your preparer promises large refunds without asking to see the proper records for deductions and credits, you know that you will be audited after the return has been filed.
When your tax return preparer deducts items that should have not been deducted, you’re the one who will be audited and you will be required to pay the additional tax, interest and penalties.
If the IRS believes that your tax return preparer is incompetent or deducts large non-existent deductions, all of the returns prepared by that return preparer will more likely be selected for audit.
You do not want a tax return preparer who promises you the largest refund, but a tax return preparer who will compute the correct tax.
It is recommended that you hire a tax return preparer who knows the tax law and who deducts items on the tax return that you can properly document.
Don’t forget you are ultimately responsible for the additional tax, interest and penalties.
2. File all your required tax returns by the due date. If you haven’t filed your tax returns, the IRS will eventually audit on you.
By not filing your tax returns timely, the IRS will assess the failure to file penalty at 5% per month up to 25% of the tax. If the IRS determines that your failure to file was attributable to fraud, the penalty will be 15% per month up to 75% of the tax.
Thus, you are always better off filing the tax return by the due date, even if you don’t have the funds to pay the tax because you will not be assessed the failure to file penalties.
3. Report all of your income shown on the Form 1099’s that you have received. Even if you don’t receive a 1099, you still have to report all of your income. If you file your tax return without reporting all of your income, you are risking an audit.
If the IRS audits your tax return and finds omitted income, you will be assessed tax on the omitted income plus interest on the tax computed from the due date of the tax return to the date that the tax is paid.
Then, the IRS will apply the 20% accuracy related penalty or the 75% fraud penalty on the additional tax plus the interest on the penalties computed from the due date of the tax return to the date that it is paid.
4. Don’t deduct an office in a home. To qualify for an office in a home deduction, you must use the office for work and it must be your primary place of business. Most taxpayer’s abuse this deduction.
Further, let’s say that you properly documented that you used 15% of your residence for business, when you sell the residence, the IRS will correctly argue that 15% of the gain from the sale is taxable income. This will create unintentional tax liability on your part. Unless you have a compelling reason to take this deduction, stay away from it.
5. Don’t deduct a large Sch C loss, unless you truly have a loss. A large Sch C loss means that your business deductions exceeded your income from the activity.
The IRS will be questioning you on the source of the funds to pay for those excess deductions. You will need to document sources of the non-taxable income to pay for that loss. If you sold assets to fund the loss, you will need to document those sales.
The possible sources of the non-table income would include loans, gifts and inheritances. These sources will have to be documented to the IRS, if requested by them.
The documentation would include copies of checks, closing papers, gift tax returns of the person who made the gifts and estate tax returns for inherited funds.
6. Don’t deduct a loss from a business activity that the IRS can classify as a hobby loss, unless you have the documentation for that loss.
If you deduct a loss from a horse racing, dog racing, car racing, a boat chartering activity or any other activity that is fun; the IRS will ask you to prove that the activity is engaged for profit.
Thus, you should have a separate bank account for these activities and a business plan on how you expect to make a profit from the activity. You will need to show valid business projections.
7. When you deduct donations of property to a charitable organization, you need to have the required documentation that will always include a valid appraisal. Only deduct what you actually donated to the charitable organizations and can verify with copies of canceled checks.
8. When you deduct a casualty loss, you need the proper documentation for the deduction. The documentation will always include an appraisal of the property before and after the casualty.
The amount reimbursed by insurance for the casualty. You will also need to prove your adjusted basis in the property before the casualty.
If you have a theft loss, make sure that you report the theft to the police and obtain a police report for the incident.
9. You should always be prepared for an audit by having in your possession all of the documents needed to verify the items shown on your tax return even before it is ever audited.
You do not want to search for the verification after your tax return has been selected for audit by the IRS.
10. If you are selected for a tax audit, call Fresh Start Tax LLC to ensure the best possible results.
Protect yourself from an IRS tax audit.
Have Fresh Start Tax LLC prepare your next tax return. Never have an audit again.

How does IRS deal With Tax Debt? ( very specifically)
There are very specific formulas and methodologies that IRS uses to determine how they will deal with tax debt.
At the very beginning you should know that all tax returns must be filed before IRS will close your case.
If you have not filed your back tax returns, we can have our affordable IRS experts prepare your returns. If you have lost your records or need tax reconstruction, our former IRS agents can assist with this and make this a very seamless process.
IRS uses a basic financial statement to deal with your tax debt. They will use form 433A or 433F, you can find those forms on our website.
IRS will want to review that financial statement along with copies of six months worth of bank statements, copies of all pay stubs along with all monthly expenses to make a determination on the availability possible payments to Internal Revenue Service.
This is not an IRS tax audit just a very surface review of your current financial statement.
You do want to make sure it is correctly filled out and there is an art to that statement.
How does the Internal Revenue Service close a tax debt off their enforcement computer?
IRS uses three basic closing methods after review of your current financial statement.
1.The first closing method is called a hardship or currently not collectible. What this means is, IRS’ reviews your current financial statement and determines you have no money to make payments at this time. The good news is IRS’s off your back for a couple years and the bad news is IRS can review your case in two or three years and penalties and interest continue to run.
Over 40% of all taxpayers who have IRS tax debt have their cases suspended or put in hardship because of their current financial condition.
2. The second closing method is called a monthly payment or installment agreement. After the Internal Revenue Service reviews your current financial statement it may determine you have enough money to make a back payment to them. When you call us we will review that process specifically with you.
6.5 million taxpayers a year are on current monthly payment agreements.
3. The third closing method is called the offer in compromise or the IRS settlement. Some people call this settling for pennies on the dollar.
There is a very specific formula to have an offer in compromise accepted.
Our principal owner is a former IRS agent revenue officer who taught the offer in compromise program at his time in IRS. Our first goal is to settle all cases through the offer in compromise for those who are settlement candidates.
We will let you know on your immediate first consultation whether we can settle your debt.
Over 32,000 people had their offer in compromise settle last year from an average settlement of $9500.
