Fresh Start Tax 1-866-700-1040 wants to continue to educate our client base on frequently asked questions. We are former IRS Agents.
This question comes up several times a month.
Through the IRS Federal Payment Levy Program , Social Security benefit payments outlined in Title II of the Social Security Act, Federal Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance Benefits, are subject to the 15-percent levy, to pay your delinquent tax debt or on your back taxes that you owe to IRS.
However, benefit payments, such as lump sum death benefits and benefits paid to children, will not be included .
Additionally, Supplemental Security Income payments, under Title XVI, and payments with partial withholding to repay a debt owed to Social Security will not be levied through the Federal Payment Levy Program.
