Receiving a Bill From the IRS. Let us resolve your problem today. 1-866-700-1040
If payment for the full amount of tax due is not sent with the tax return, a bill called a Notice of Tax Due and Demand for Payment is mailed to the taxpayer. The notice, or bill, includes unpaid taxes due, plus applicable penalties and interest. It is best to pay the amount due on the bill in full to help minimize the amount of penalties and interest charged. The interest rate a credit card issuer or bank charges may be lower than the combination of interest and penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Code.
What If the Bill is Wrong?
Taxpayers believing that a bill or notice is wrong should contact the IRS as soon as possible by calling the number on the bill, writing to the IRS office that sent the bill, calling 1 (800) 829-1040, or visiting a local IRS office.
To help correct the problem, a copy of the bill along with copies of any records, tax returns, and canceled checks, etc., should be gathered to help explain why the bill is wrong. A response by letter should explain why the bill is wrong and include copies of all documents to explain the situation. Original documents should not be submitted. If the IRS confirms the error, an adjustment will be made to the taxpayer’s account and, if necessary, a corrected bill sent.

Question: I retired last year, and started receiving social security payments. Do I have to pay taxes on my social security benefits?
Answer: Social security benefits include monthly retirement, survivor, and disability benefits. They do not include supplemental security income (SSI) payments, which are not taxable. The amount of social security benefits that must be included on your income tax return and used to calculate your income tax liability depends on the total amount of your income and benefits for the taxable year.
To find out whether any of your benefits may be taxable, compare the base amount for your filing status with the total of:
One-half of your benefits.
All of your other income, including tax-exempt interest.The base amount for your filing status is shown next:
$25,000 if you are single, head of household, qualifying widow(er) or married filing separately living apart from your spouse at any time during the tax year.
$32,000 if you are married filing jointly.
$-0- if you are married filing separately living with your spouse at any time during the tax year.
The taxable amount of the benefits can be figured on a worksheet in the Form 1040 Instructions or Form 1040A Instructions , or in Publication 915, Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefits.

Things you should know.
To receive a CDP levy hearing:
You must submit a written request for a CDP levy hearing within the 30-day period commencing the day after the date of the CDP levy notice.
To receive a CDP lien hearing:
You must submit a written request on or before the “must file by” date on the Letter 3172. Timely (CDP) hearing requests suspend the collection statute.
If Appeals upholds the collection action it issues any one of a number of letters indicating aNotice of Determination Concerning Collection Action(s) Under IRC 6320 and/or IRC 6330, informing taxpayer’s of their right to seek judicial review of Appeals determination in Tax Court; if taxpayers agree with the resolution they may sign a Form 12257, Summary Notice of Determination, waiving their judicial review rights.
Taxpayers may return to Appeals for a Retained Jurisdiction hearing regarding the determination, e.g., collection actions under that determination or a change in circumstances which affects the determination.
Common questions and answers for a CDP Hearing
Question:.
I just got a Notice Number CP504. It says – “Urgent!! We intend to levy Certain Assets.”I don’t agree that I owe this amount. How can I appeal? Will that stop the levy action?
Answer:
The IRS cannot levy with just this notice. They must first issue a formal Notice of Intent to Levy, and that is the next step after this notice. You should therefore call the number on the notice to discuss this situation and your payment options.
Your case is closed as far as any determination about how much you owe, so there is nothing for you to appeal at this point. However, you do have three options to get your case re-opened so the IRS can consider whether you owe any additional amounts:
Pay the amount due in full and file a claim for refund. If the IRS disallows your claim you will have the right to appeal at that time.
Follow the instructions in Publication 3598 and request an Audit Reconsideration. Note that you must submit new information the IRS did not previously consider in order to have an audit reconsideration.
Follow the instructions in Form 656 and file an Offer in Compromise, Doubt as to liability.
Question:
The IRS Collection function says they are going to file a lien or levy my assts. What can I do?
Answer:
Be sure to contact the Collection function to discuss your situation and your payment options. Refer to Publication 1660, Collection Appeal Rights to review your appeal rights. Some Collection actions qualify for appeal under the Collection Appeals Program (CAP) and some qualify under the Collection Due Process (CDP) appeal. These two programs offer different advantages depending on the facts of your case. Publication 1660 will help you decide which is best for you.
Question:
I just received a Notice of Federal Tax Lien Filing and Your Right to a Hearing Under IRC 6320, Letter 3172. I don’t believe I owe this amount. What can I do?
Answer:
Refer to Publication 1660. The Letter 3172 gives you 30 days to request a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing to discuss the lien filing. You should request a CDP hearing if you feel the lien is inappropriate.
However, as explained in Publication 1660, in a CDP hearing Appeals can only discuss the existence of or amount that you owe under very limited circumstances. If Appeals cannot consider the underlying liability, you have three options to re-open that issue:
Pay the amount due in full and file a claim for refund. If the IRS disallows your claim you will have the right to Appeal at that time.
Follow the instructions in Publication 3598 and request an Audit Reconsideration. Note that you must submit new information the IRS did not previously consider in order to have an audit reconsideration.
Follow the instruction in Form 656 and file an Offer in Compromise, Doubt as to Liability.
Question:
I just received a Letter L-1058 or LT11 FINAL NOTICE OF INTENT TO LEVY AND NOTICE OF YOUR RIGHT TO A HEARING. I don’t believe I owe this amount. What can I do?
Answer:
Refer to Publication 1660. The Letter 3172 gives you 30 days to request a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing. You should request a CDP hearing if you feel the levy is inappropriate.
However, as explained in Publication 1660, in a CDP hearing Appeals can only discuss the existence of or amount that you owe under very limited circumstances. If Appeals cannot consider the underlying liability, you have three options to re-open that issue:

Question:
Will I qualify for innocent spouse relief in any situation where there is an understatement of tax?
Answer:
There are many situations in which you may owe tax that is related to your spouse, but not be eligible for innocent spouse relief. For example, you and your spouse file a joint return that reports $10,000 of income and deductions, but you knew or had reason to know that your spouse was not reporting $5,000 of dividends. You are not eligible for innocent spouse relief when you have knowledge or reason to know of the understatement.
