Facts
As globalization grows, so do concerns about the International Tax Gap—that is, taxes owed but not collected on time from a U.S. person or foreign person whose cross-border transactions are subject to U.S. taxation.
To address these concerns, the IRS developed a strategic plan to increase its international efforts, including the creation of the International Campus Compliance Unit (CCU) to enhance its efforts to expand audit coverage of tax returns with international aspects and to increase compliance among international individual taxpayers.
Before creating the CCU, the IRS did not have resources dedicated to specifically address the needs of the international individual taxpayer.
The overall objective of this review was to determine whether the benefits envisioned by establishing the CCU to improve international individual tax compliance are being achieved.
The IRS successfully planned the CCU and followed general Government guidelines and steps for implementing a new business process during the planning.
The IRS is still developing inventory selection criteria for the CCU.However, for Fiscal Years 2011 through 2013 (through March 13, 2013), the CCU conducted almost 18,000 audits and assessed approximately $36 million.

Payroll Garnishment Levy – Get your Money Back Now, Former IRS Agents Who Know the System, Find Out Now, Free Consults
If the Internal Revenue Service has just levied your paycheck call us today to get your money back and your case settled.
We are comprised of tax attorneys, tax lawyers, certified public accountants, and former IRS agents, managers, and tax instructors who worked in the local South Florida IRS offices for over 60 years.
We know the exact system on how to get your money back from the Internal Revenue Service, get your levy released and worked out a tax settlement.
The process to get your money back from IRS
If you have received a notice of levy on your payroll or wages it is because you did not respond to final notices that IRS sent to you at your last known address.
As a result, the Internal Revenue Service systemically sends out computer generated levies from their CADE2 to computer.
To get your payroll levy released, IRS will need a current financial statement.
That financial statement will be on form 433-F which you can find directly on our website.
You will need to fill out that 433-F along with all the documentation to verify all the numbers that you put down on the form along with the last 3 to 6 months worth of bank statements, copy pay stubs, and a verification of all your monthly bills.
Once IRS reviews your current financial statement they will begin the process to release your payroll levy.
IRS will compare your financial statement to the national, regional and geographical standards. It is very important for the taxpayer /client to understand the national standards tests.
IRS will then provide the information to you into which closing category as a result of the financial review.
As a general rule, IRS will either place you into a
- an economic tax hardship which means you are currently noncollectable,
- they will enter you into an installment or monthly payment agreement,
- or indicate to you that you are a suitable candidate for IRS tax debt settlement otherwise called an offer in compromise.
- Once IRS indicates to the closing settlement method , t hey will immediately release your payroll garnishment tax levy.
IRS Rules about Payroll Garnishment Tax Levy
An individual’s wages, salary, payroll and other income can be levied.
Wages, salary, and other income include payment for personal services in a work relationship.
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 to 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 Really Bad News Continuous Effect of Levy on Salary and Wages
Unlike other IRS tax levies, a levy on a taxpayer’s wages and salary has a continuous effect. this means it never stops until the IRS issue your employer or release of the payroll garnishment levy.
It attaches to all 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.
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. So the payroll garnishment levy is a much more punishing garnishment.
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.
Exempt Amounts
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.
Note:
The support order can originate from a court or administrative process under the laws and procedures of a state, territory or possession.

Generally the State of Florida accepts most tax returns as filed, however the State audits some returns to verify accuracy and evaluate compliance.
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.

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:
1. Internal Revenue Service information.
2. Information sharing programs with other states and state agencies.
3. Computer-based random selection.
4. Analysis of Florida tax return information.
5. Business publications, periodicals, journals, and directories.

- Cash receipt and disbursement journals
- Purchase and sales journals
- Sales tax exemption or resale certificates
- Other documentation to verify amounts entered on tax returns
Keep your Tax Florida Sales Tax Record for 3 years
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.
You have Rights During a 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.
What Happens When the Florida Sales Tax 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.
Florida Sales Tax Audits Self-Audit/Self-Analysis ( from Florida Sales Tax )
The Department uses self-audit or self-analysis projects to educate taxpayers on issues related to a particular compliance problem or industry.
The State will send selected taxpayers information about a specific tax or issue, user-friendly instructions, and simple worksheets.
They 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.
