There are generally two types of levies.
As a general rule the Internal Revenue Service will either issue a bank levy or a wage garnishment levy. There is a difference in the two.
A wage levy is an immediate garnishment on your wages. The IRS will probably give you weekly exemptions of about 20% of your current wages and the rest goes to IRS.
An IRS bank levy is a little different. The day the bank receives your levy a freeze is put on your available funds for that day only. You can use your bank account freely during the 21 days however the money that was levied on that specific day will be frozen and sent to IRS on the 22nd day of the levy is not released.
There are various ways of paying back taxes owed to the Internal Revenue Service and most are dependent on your current financial statement or state of affairs.
In most cases in which a client has not paid back taxes there are several options available after the taxpayer completes a current financial statement on form 433F. That financial statement must be completely documented along with bank statements, pay stubs, copy of all expenses and receipts matching those expenses.
Once IRS reviews your current financial statement IRS will apply the national standard tests of allowable expenses that the Service feels necessary in certain regions and counties in the United States. IRS will use those standards and determine the type settlement that will be applicable in your situation.
The different settlement options
1. After review of your current financial statement, IRS may deem you to be in a currently not collectible status, this means the Internal Revenue Service will suspend your case for two or three years and bring it back out to the field at a later point in time in which they will rework the case and asked for a new financial statement.
2. IRS may determine that you are a monthly installment candidate. Over 6.5 million taxpayers enter into monthly installment payments each and every year and believe it or not at least a third of those taxpayers who enter into those agreements break them.
3. The other options include filing offer in compromise to settle your tax debt.
The offer in compromise is a long process and a very specific process.
As a former IRS agent and teaching instructor I taught new IRS agents this program.
You should know there is an IRS pre-qualifier tool for those wanting to file an offer in compromise.
The Offer in Compromise Option + IRS Tax Debt Settlements
If you want to settle your back taxes, IRS will require a current financial statement along with full documentation.
IRS will require form 433OIC and form 656OIC to be fully documented and complete before the submission of an offer in compromise.
Select a payment option for IRS Debt Settlements
Your initial payment will vary based on your offer and the payment option you choose:
• Lump Sum Cash:
Submit an initial payment of 20 percent of the total offer amount with your application. Wait for written acceptance, then pay the remaining balance of the offer in five or fewer payments.
• Periodic Payment:
Submit your initial payment with your application. Continue to pay the remaining balance in monthly installments while the IRS considers your offer. If accepted, continue to pay monthly until it is paid in full.
If you meet the Low Income Certification guidelines, you do not have to send the application fee or the initial payment and you will not need to make monthly installments during the evaluation of your offer. See your application package for details.
Understand the OIC process to IRS Tax Debt Settlement
While your offer is being evaluated:
• Your non-refundable payments and fees will be applied to the tax liability (you may designate payments to a specific tax year and tax debt);
• A Notice of Federal Tax Lien may be filed;
• Other collection activities are suspended;
• The legal assessment and collection period is extended;
• Make all required payments associated with your offer;
• You are not required to make payments on an existing installment agreement; and
• Your offer is automatically accepted if the IRS does not make a determination within two years of the IRS receipt date.
