Before the Internal Revenue Service takes enforcement action, that is sends out a notice of bank levy or wage levy the IRS is required to send out the notice of intent to levy your seize.
When most taxpayers receive CP 504 notice from the Internal Revenue Service it let them know IRS means business.
The IRS notice of intent to levy, is an attempt to seize property or rights to property. It also shows the amount that is due immediately to the Internal Revenue Service.

Taxpayers simply need to either get professional tax help or call IRS themselves.
When calling the Internal Revenue Service
When you call the Internal Revenue Service the first thing IRS will do most check on the compliance of your back income tax returns to make sure that everything is filed and up-to-date.
The IRS will next check to make sure that you are compliant on current estimate payments or withholding. IRS will not deal with you unless all your tax returns are current and up-to-date. They use this as leverage so taxpayers who are not compliant must file their returns. Lastly they will deal with the issue at hand.
If you wind up owing money to the Internal Revenue Service it is mandatory that they issue a notice of intent to levy, an attempt to seize your property.

IRS CADE 2 Database Deployment is Experiencing Delays and Increased Costs
Deployment of the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) Customer Account Data Engine 2 (CADE 2) database has been delayed and its deployment cost has risen an estimated 74 percent to $83 million, according to a new report publicly released today by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA).
Taxpayer service improvements that were to be provided by the CADE 2 database have also been delayed, the report stated.
The CADE 2 mission is to provide state-of-the-art individual taxpayer account processing that will improve service to taxpayers.
It will replace the current Individual Master File (IMF) account settlement system with a relational database and become a key component of the IRS’s enterprise-wide, data-centric information technology strategy.
CADE 2 is being implemented in phases.
In Transition State 1, the IRS is establishing a relational database that will store all individual taxpayer accounts. Processing on the current IMF will be enhanced to allow daily batch processing, allowing the key IRS customer service database, the Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS), to have the benefit of more timely posted data.
The IRS will also develop interfaces between the CADE 2 database and selected systems, including the IMF, the IDRS, and Corporate Files Online (CFOL).
The overall objective of TIGTA’s review was to determine whether the IRS has implemented adequate data validation to ensure that the data provided to select systems are accurate and complete.
While the IRS effectively managed and resolved more than 1,000 data defects, it did not meet its June 2013 deadline for implementing system interfaces to allow IRS employees to access data, TIGTA found.
With a revised projected implementation date of January 2014, the overall total estimated cost of Transition State 1 system deployment rose from $47.7 million to $83 million. In addition, the lack of security systems integration prevents transaction-level tracking of employee access to the CADE 2 database.
“I am troubled by these delays and the escalating costs associated with implementing this significant component of the IRS’s modernization efforts,” said J. Russell George, Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. “The IRS needs to be aggressive in its efforts to resolve these problems.”
TIGTA made four recommendations, including that CADE 2 not exit Transition State 1 Milestone 5 until the interfaces with selected downstream systems are implemented into production and the database is accurate, complete, and timely.
The IRS agreed with one of the four recommendations and plans to certify that the database is accurate, complete, timely, and available to serve as the trusted source. IRS management disagreed with the three remaining recommendations.
TIGTA believes risks remain.

What is a IRS Tax Levy
A levy is a legal seizure of your property to satisfy a tax debt. Both are easily confused.
IRS Levies are different from IRS liens.
A federal tax lien is a claim used as security for the tax debt, while a IRS levy actually takes the property to satisfy the tax debt.
If you do not pay your taxes the IRS may seize and sell any type of real or personal property that you own or have an interest in.
IRS has the right to:
1. Seize and sell property that you hold such as your car, boat, or house, or
2. IRS could also 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.
3- Three requirements must met before the IRS can Levy

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.

IRS may give you this notice :
1. in person,
2. leave it at your home or
3. your usual place of business, or
send it to your last known address by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
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.
Employers
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.
