Can an Employer Threatens to Fire Taxpayer Because of a Levy?

Sometimes an employer threatens to fire an employee to avoid handling a levy. This might be a violation of 15 USC 1674.
If the employer fires the taxpayer because of this, the employer might be fined not more than $1000 or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.
You should refer the taxpayer to the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor (DOL). DOL, not IRS, must decide if the employer violated the law.
 

The Continuous Effect of Levy on Salary, Paycheck and Wages

 
Unlike other tax levies, a levy on a taxpayer’s wages and salary has a continuous effect. It attaches to future payments, until the levy is released. Wages and salary include fees, bonuses, commissions, and similar items.
All other levies only attach to property and rights to property that exist when the levy is served.
Example:
If a bank account is levied, it only reaches money in the account when the levy is served. It does not reach money deposited later.
When other income is levied, the levy reaches payment the taxpayer has a fixed and determinable right to. If the taxpayer’s right to that payment is not dependent upon the performance of future services, then the levy will reach the future payments as well.
Example:
A Form 668-A is issued to levy an author’s royalties. The author has a fixed and determinable right to royalties for books that have already been published. The levy reaches royalties for sales of those books in the future. The levy does not reach royalties for books that are written and published later. A new levy must be served to take those royalties.
Example:
A Form 668-W is issued to levy a taxpayer’s retirement income. The taxpayer has a fixed right to the future payments; therefore, the levy remains in effect until it is released.
Also, see IRM 5.11.6.12, Levy on Non-Liable Spouse in a Community Property State for guidance when the wage levy on the non-liable spouse is not continuous.
 

Exempt Amount on Paychecks, Salary, Wage Levies

 
Part of the individual taxpayer’s wages, salary, (including fees, bonuses, commissions and similar items) and other income, as well as retirement and benefit income, is exempt from levy.
The weekly exempt amount is:
The total of the taxpayer’s standard deduction and the amount deductible for exemptions on an income tax return for the year the levy is served.
Then, this total is divided by 52.
Income that is not paid weekly is prorated, so the same amount is exempt.
In addition, the amount the taxpayer needs to pay court ordered child support is exempt.
The support order can originate from a court or administrative process under the laws and procedures of a state, territory or possession.

An IRS Example of a levied Account
 
If a bank account is levied, it only reaches money in the account when the levy is served.
It does not reach money deposited later.
When other income is levied, the levy reaches payment the taxpayer has a fixed and determinable right to. If the taxpayer’s right to that payment is not dependent upon the performance of future services, then the levy will reach the future payments as well.

The levy reaches royalties for sales of those books in the future.

Income that is not paid weekly is prorated, so the same amount is exempt.
In addition, the amount the taxpayer needs to pay court ordered child support is exempt.
The taxpayer is not entitled to the support exemption unless the support is being paid.
Consider getting the taxpayer to have the child support payment withheld and sent directly to the person with custody or the taxpayer may make the child support payment through the Service, and the Service will forward the payment.
When there is no open assignment, have the payments sent through Submission Processing. This may happen if the payments are being monitored in the campus.
 
 
How to Claim the Exempt Amount of the IRS Payroll Wage Levy Garnishment
 
The Notice of Levy on Wages, Salary, and Other Income (Form 668-W) was developed for use when an individual may be entitled to the minimum exemption from levy in IRC 6334(a)(9) and includes a Statement of Exemptions and Filing Status.
The employer gives the statement to the taxpayer to complete and return within three days. If it is not received by then, the exempt amount is figured as if the taxpayer is married filing separate with one exemption.
It is a good practice to let your employer know you want to resolve the situation so it does not affect your credibility at work.
The taxpayer can give the statement to the employer later to change the exempt amount.
Please Note:
The employer needs to use this statement rather than the employee’s W–4, Employee’s Withholding Certificate. Taxpayers may claim different exemptions for withholding from those claimed on their return.
Publication 1494, Tables for Figuring Amount Exempt From Levy on Wages, Salary, and Other Income – Forms 668-W(ACS), 668-W(c)(DO) and 668-W(ICS), is sent with the levy to help figure the exempt amount.
The taxpayer can give a new statement to the employer later to have the exempt amount recomputed.
Remember there is a very specific system to stop the IRS payroll wage levy garnishment. You should never call the Internal Revenue Service without a plan or an exit strategy.
If you’re going to use or hire any company make sure they have true tax professionals on staff.

Being former IRS agents, managers, and tax instructors we know the exact systems, the exact protocol and the exact techniques to go ahead and to get you the time you need to settle your case with the Internal Revenue Service. IRS help is just a phone call away.
Why you have received the IRS Intent to Levy?
If you have failed to respond to prior IRS notices and bills the IRS systematically sends out a notice of intent to levy. If you do not respond to that intent to levy, the IRS will send out either a IRS bank levy or an IRS wage garnishment. It is critical you contact IRS and prepared to give them a current financial statement so they can dispose of your case off the IRS enforcement computer.
Be careful not to ignore an IRS notice of intent to levy because IRS means business and they will follow up with quick and decisive seizure action.
What is a Levy
A levy is a legal seizure of your property to satisfy a tax debt.
IRS Levies are different from IRS liens.
A lien is a claim used as security for the tax debt, while a levy actually takes the property to satisfy the tax debt.It is in effect a seizure of assets.
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. For instance,
The IRS has the right to seize and sell property that you hold (such as your car, boat, or house), or they 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).
Before the IRS can Levy
IRS usually levy only after these three requirements are met:
1. They assessed the tax and sent you a Notice and Demand for Payment;
2. You neglected or refused to pay the tax; and
3. They 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 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 are going through a current economic hardship we can usually get IRS tax levies released within a week.
Keep in mind 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.
Note to 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. 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.
If you do not get the IRS agent to cooperate you can:
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 include:
1. You paid all you owed before we sent the levy notice,
2. The IRS assessed the tax and sent the levy notice when you were in bankruptcy, and subject to the automatic stay during bankruptcy,
3. The 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.
 
It is important to note the Internal Revenue Service will want any unfiled tax returns filed. IRS generally will not close your case off the enforcement computer unless you are current and up-to-date with all income and business tax return filings.
We can prepare all back tax returns, stop the IRS levy and settle your case all at the same time.
