Taxpayers who have received bank or wage garnishment levies will have to provide IRS a current financial statement along with pay stubs, bank statements, and a copy of all expenses.
Once received and analyzed by Internal Revenue Service they will have an agent review and have a closing exit strategy. The IRS will then issue an immediate release the levy.

Dealing with the IRS on Back Tax Issues
If you are going to deal with the IRS on a back tax issues it only makes sense to hire former IRS agents, managers, and tax instructors who know all the tax strategies, tax protocols, and tax settlement formulas.
There are different strategies that a taxpayer can use when dealing with the Internal Revenue Service and every case is different. Believe me when I tell you no two cases are the same. Certain factors will turn the case in a completely different direction.
Important Factors on Tax Debt
Being a former IRS agent and teaching instructor with the Internal Revenue Service there are four very important factors that the Internal Revenue Service will review when rendering a decision on your case.
Any good IRS tax consultant should be able to tell you these.
These four factors will determine how your case is going to be closed off of the IRS enforcement computer, they are :
- the amount of taxes owed,
- the type of taxes that are owed,
- whether you have filed all your tax returns, and
- the condition of your current financial statement.
As a general rule any individual, business, or corporation that owe back taxes will be required to fill out a IRS financial statement.
That financial statement should be prepared by a professional tax firm because there are many trap questions that the IRS will ask.
You can find those financial statements on our website.
IRS will expect full and completely documented financial statement and will want supporting documentation for the financial including all income verification over the last 3 to 6 months as well as a list of all verified expenses.
Be prepared to give IRS the last 3-6 months worth of bank statements and your last pay stub.
In reviewing your financial statement, you should know that IRS has test certain test requirements you must meet for allowable expenses.
IRS has formulas that they use and they are generally based on nationalized and regionalized expense averages.
You can find those national and regionalized standards on our website as well.
Your will want to make sure that all your tax returns are filed and up-to-date.
If you owe back payroll taxes, know that the IRS will take tougher stances and positions because these are trust fund taxes. The Internal Revenue Service treats taxpayers who owe payroll taxes Thanks more harshly and severely.
The Internal Revenue Service wants to make sure that a taxpayer is living within their means.
After IRS reviews the current financial statement IRS will make a determination on how they will proceed with the case. After the review of the financial statement the IRS will:
- either place that taxpayer into a currently non-collectible file,
- insist on a monthly payment plan or
- suggest to the taxpayer that they could be eligible for offering compromise. and handle all the negotiations
I cannot over emphasize to you when dealing with the Internal Revenue Service how critically important is your current financial statement.
That’s why it is critically important you use a tax professional or IRS tax consultant to both complete the financial statement and deal with the Internal Revenue Service.

Why Are Taxpayers and Businesses Audited by the State of Florida, Department of Revenue:
You
The state of Florida Department of revenue audits taxpayers for four major reasons:
1. Enforce Florida tax laws uniformly,
2. Deter tax evasion,
3. Promote voluntary compliance,
4. Educate taxpayers.
The Non-Filer Program
One of the chief priorities with the state of Florida Department of revenue is to go after those individuals and businesses who have failed to pay sales tax. With Florida being such a transient area and businesses opening up in closing the state of Florida launches new programs and every fiscal year to go after non-filers and to close the tax gap that exists.
The state launches several programs every year to sales tax cheats and to attempt to launch criminal investigations against those individuals and businesses who fail to pay over sales tax that have been collected. If you have not filed your past due tax returns is in your best interest to contact us today to get you back in the program.
The State of Florida excepts most tax returns as accurate.
The state of Florida accepts most tax returns as filed, they audit some returns to verify accuracy and evaluate compliance.
Sales and Use Tax Audits do not always result in the taxpayer owing additional tax, penalty or interest.
The State tax auditor may adjust a credit carryover or correct distribution without assessing additional tax.
Why are Taxpayers Selected for State Tax Audit?
Audit Methods
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.
Types of Records You will Need to Provide for the Sales Tax Audit
When the State of Florida notifies you of our intent to audit, they will also tell you what records you will need to provide.
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.
Record Keeping Requirement
You must keep your records for three years since an audit can extend back that far.
The State of Florida Department of Revenue may audit for periods longer than three years if you did not file, or filed a substantially incorrect return or payment.
Yes, you have taxpayers Rights During an Sales Tax Audits ?
The Florida Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights provides protection for taxpayers’ privacy and assets during their interactions with Revenue employees.
Your rights include:
1. The right to fair treatment.
2. The right to get available information and prompt, accurate responses to your questions.
3. The right to have the Department begin and complete its audit in a timely manner after we notify you of our intent to audit.
4. 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.
If you do this yourself, Can you 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 Sales Tax Audit is Complete?
After your Sales Tax 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
If you agree with the audit findings, we expect you to pay the amount due in full. If you cannot pay in full we can work payment plans or installment arrangements out with the state of Florida sales tax division. You have the right to protest the proposed changes if you disagree with them.
Florida’s voluntary disclosure program
Florida’s voluntary disclosure program allows a taxpayer to report previously unpaid or underpaid tax liabilities for any tax administered by the Department of Revenue.
It is the taxpayer’s opportunity to voluntarily pay these taxes without being penalized.
Who is eligible?
Anyone who has any tax liability for a tax administered by the Florida Department of Revenue and who has not been previously contacted by the Department concerning the liability.
Disclosures relating to delinquencies or deficiencies that are obvious and would routinely generate a billing if not otherwise self-disclosed are not eligible for the program.
What are the benefits to the taxpayer?
When the tax and interest liabilities have been paid, all penalties will be waived unless tax has been collected and not remitted. In those instances, a five percent penalty will be imposed, unless reasonable cause is presented.
How far back will Sales Tax Agents look?
Three years immediately preceding the postmark date of the voluntary disclosure request. Failure to take advantage of this program could result in the Department holding the taxpayer liable for the applicable (longer) limitation periods of the relevant taxes.
What taxes are eligible?
All taxes administered by the Department of Revenue are eligible, including (but not limited to):
- Governmental leasehold intangible personal property tax,
- Gross receipts tax on utility services,
- Insurance premium taxes, surcharges, and fees.
- Local option tourist development taxes administered by Department of Revenue,
- Motor vehicle warranty fee (“lemon law).
