For the Record : What is a IRS Tax 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. 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 IRS tax levy can be issued?
The IRS will usually levy only after these three requirements are met:
1• The IRS assessed the tax and sent you a Notice and Demand for Payment (a tax bill);
2• You neglected or refused to pay the tax; and
3• 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 IRS tax bank levy garnishment?
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).

Keys to resolving your Florida Sales Tax Problem
There are several keys to make sure your case is resolved timely. These keys are necessary on every case. The Department of Revenue is interested in resolving the cases in their system. The DOR goal is to close cases and get them out of their inventory.
Here are the keys necessary to stop enforcement action on your back taxes.
Have all your tax returns filed before you call Florida Sales Tax and the Department of Revenue on your back tax issues.
Be prepared to give the Department of Revenue a financial statement whether you are a hardship candidate, want an installment agreement or want to settle your case.
Be prepared to give the Department of Revenue all supporting documentation to prove your financial statement.
Make sure you are current on deposit requirements.
Are you being Audited by Florida DOR, Read Carefully
The State of Florida, Department of Revenue audit taxpayers to:
Enforce Florida tax laws uniformly.
Deter tax evasion.
Promote voluntary compliance.
Educate taxpayers.
As a general rule, the State of Florida Sales Division accepts most tax returns as filed, however they audit some returns to verify accuracy and evaluate compliance.
Florida Sales Tax Audits do not always result in the taxpayer owing additional tax, penalty or interest.
The auditor may adjust a credit carryover or correct distribution without assessing additional tax. The auditor may even determine that a refund is due.
How Are Taxpayers Selected for Audit by the Florida Sales Tax Division
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.
Computer-based random selection.
Analysis of Florida tax return information.
Business publications, periodicals, journals, and directories.
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.
Your Rights During an Sales Tax Audit?
The Florida Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights provides protection for taxpayers’ privacy and assets during their interactions with Revenue employees.
Your rights include:
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.
Can I Request Technical assistance During the Audit?
When there are transactions or issues for which the tax consequences are questionable, you may ask for a written statement of our position any time during the audit. Our office of Technical assistance and Dispute Resolution will issue a Technical assistance Advisement (TAA), which is binding on the Department.
For more information, read “Requesting Advice During an Audit.” We encourage you to use our Tax Law Library to research the issue before requesting technical assistance.
What Happens When the Audit is Complete?
After your audit is complete, you can review the audit findings and proposed changes to your tax liability. The auditor will give you a copy of the work papers and explain your rights, including deadlines for filing protests.
If you agree with the audit findings, we expect you to pay the amount due in full.
You have the right to protest the proposed changes if you disagree with them. “How to Pay Your Audit Assessment” has more details.
Self-Audit/Self-Analysis Tax Audits
The Department uses self-audit or self-analysis projects to educate taxpayers on issues related to a particular compliance problem or industry. We send selected taxpayers information about a specific tax or issue, user-friendly instructions, and simple worksheets.
We ask them to review the materials, complete the worksheets, calculate any additional tax due, and return the paperwork to us with payment. The auditor has limited contact with the taxpayer and does not visit the taxpayer’s location.
The Department usually accepts the taxpayer’s responses. However, participation in a self-audit/self-analysis does not exempt the taxpayer from further audit review of the same time period.
