What is a IRS Wage Garnishment Levy?
A levy is a legal seizure of your property to satisfy a tax debt. Levies are different from 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.
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 wage garnishment levy can be issued?
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.
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 wage garnishment levy?
The Internal Revenue Service will issue the levy after it sends it’s customary billing to you. Once IRS has sent you its final notice and have given you are right to collection due process IRS will then start to execute an IRS bank levy or wage garnishment levy.
If you have received an IRS tax levy garnishment and want to make them go away call us today for a free initial tax consultation.
Please keep in mind, IRS will ask if you are fully compliant on all your tax returns.

Florida Sales Tax Audits do not always result in the taxpayer owing additional tax, penalty or interest.

The methods for selecting a business or individual to audit vary from tax to tax.
Here are some examples of sources we use to identify a potential audit candidate:
• Internal Revenue Service information.
• Information sharing programs with other states and state agencies.

• Analysis of Florida tax return information.
• Business publications, periodicals, journals, and directories.
What Types of Records Will I Need to Provide to an Auditor or Inspector?
When we notify you of our intent to audit, we will also tell you what records you will need to provide.
The types of records may include, but are not limited to:
1. General ledgers and journals
2. Cash receipt and disbursement journals
3. Purchase and sales journals
4. Sales tax exemption or resale certificates
5. Florida tax returns
6. Federal tax returns
7. Depreciation schedules
8. Property records
9. Other documentation to verify amounts entered on tax returns
You must keep your records for three years since an audit can extend back that far.
The Department may audit for periods longer than three years if you did not file, or filed a substantially incorrect return or payment.

• The right to fair treatment.
• The right to get available information and prompt, accurate responses to your questions.
• The right to have the Department begin and complete its audit in a timely manner after we notify you of our intent to audit.
• The right to get simple, nontechnical statements which explain the reason for audit selection and the procedures, remedies, and rights available during audit, appeals, and collection proceedings.

There is a way to get back in the system without pain, HOW, simply file your tax returns.
The Big Question : How many back years do I file?
The answer varies on the facts of the case. As a general rule, as former IRS agents and managers we recommend you file anywhere between three and six years.
Some of the determining factors in making decisions are:
1. how much income have you made in the last six years,
2. what is your asset base,
3. what do your bank accounts look like,
4. have you always operated in cash,
5. what are your average monthly expenses for the time of nonfiling.
Tax Preparation for Never Filed Tax Returns

We can simply ask IRS for copies of income transcripts for the last six years.
IRS will provide to us all income reports on W-2’s and 1099 s. Tax reconstruction is easy and simple. We can find out what expenses you have and prepare your tax return based on reconstructive methods.

We have prepared hundreds upon hundreds of tax returns of taxpayers who have never filed. We can walk you to the process and get you back in the system seamlessly.
Below you will find the IRS policy statement regarding people who will never file tax returns.
What happens if I owe back taxes, there are available programs to help settle tax debt.
If you will owe back taxes we will work out a tax settlement for you.
IRS will require a current financial statement on form 433F expect that financial statement to be fully documented.
As a general rule, IRS places taxpayers who cannot pay their back tax debt into one of three categories.
IRS will consider you either to be a:
1 . Current hardship,
2. a monthly candidate for payments, or
3. a tax debt settlement candidate for the offer in compromise program.
Keep in mind that the determination that IRS will make your open case if you owe back taxes is completely dependent on your current financial statement, therefore the filling out, the documentation will determine your outcome on your case. That’s why it is critical you have a trustworthy tax firm help resolve these issues for you so you need not worry.
IRS has a policy statement regarding filing past due tax returns
1.2.14.1.18 (08-04-2006)
IRS Policy Statement 5-133
1. Delinquent or prior years tax returns—enforcement of filing requirements
2. Taxpayers failing to file tax returns will be requested to prepare and file all such returns except in instances where there is an indication that the taxpayer’s failure to file the required return or returns was willful or if there is any other indication of fraud.
All delinquent returns submitted by a taxpayer, whether upon his/her own initiative or at the request of a Service representative, will be accepted.
However, if indications of wilfulness or fraud exist, the special procedures for handling such returns must be followed.
3. Where it is determined that required returns have not been filed, the extent to which compliance for prior years will be enforced will be determined by reference to factors ensuring compliance and evenhanded administration of staffing and other Service resources.
4. Factors to be taken into account include, but are not limited to:
a. prior history of noncompliance,
b. existence of income from illegal sources, effect upon voluntary compliance, anticipated revenue, and collectibility, in relation to the time and effort required to determine tax due.
Consideration will also be given any special circumstances existing in the case of a particular taxpayer, class of taxpayer, or industry, or which may be peculiar to the class of tax involved.
5. Normally, application of the above criteria will result in enforcement of delinquency procedures for not more than six (6) years.
There are special cases in which the IRS will ask for more than six years.
Those cases generally involve those with a great deal of access with a high potential of collection and probability. There are very few cases that meet this criteria.
