The IRS Computer System of Levies and wage garnishments:
Make sure you contact IRS by the follow-up date or the CADE2 IRS computer will automatically generate bank levies or wage garnishments. Not a human hand touches your levy they are all systemically generated by IRS’s computer.
The Internal Revenue Service sends their letters out in five-week billing cycles.
If you don’t respond to the last and final notice you can definitively find that a bank levy or wage garnishment or the possibility of a federal tax lien will be issued.
The information you need to know about a federal tax levy or wage garnishment:
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 levy can be issued?
The IRS will usually levy only after these three requirements are met:
• The IRS assessed the tax and sent you a Notice and Demand for Payment (a tax bill);
• You neglected or refused to pay the tax; and
• 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 a levy?
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). Or, the IRS could seize and sell property that you hold (such as your car, boat or house).

Some frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I don’t pay or contact the IRS?
If you don’t pay the amount due, they may seize (“levy”) any state tax refund to which you’re entitled. This is your notice of intent to levy as required by Internal Revenue Code section 6331(d).
If you still have an outstanding balance after they seize (“levy”) your state tax refund, they may send you a notice giving you a right to a hearing before the IRS Office of Appeals, if you have not already received such a notice. The IRS may then seize (“levy”) or take possession of your other property or your rights to property.
Property includes:
Wages, real estate commissions, and other income
Bank accounts
Business assets
Personal assets (including your car and home)
Social Security benefits
If you don’t pay the amount due or call the IRS to make payment arrangements, they can file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien on your property at any time, if they haven’t already done so.
If the lien is in place, you may find it difficult to sell or borrow against your property. The tax lien would also appear on your credit report ― which may harm your credit rating ― and your creditors would also be publicly notified that the IRS has priority to seize your property.
What if I don’t agree or have already taken corrective action?
If you do not agree with this notice, contact the IRS immediately at the number printed at the top of the notice. They will do our best to help you. If you have already paid this liability or arranged to pay it with an installment agreement, you should still call them at the number printed at the top of the notice to make sure your account reflects this.
Remember, you can always Appeal your case.

Voluntary Disclosure Negotiations

Businesses can often resolve these problems proactively when properly handled through the process called Voluntary Disclosure Agreements.
This process can shorten the tax look back period, reduce interest cost, and avoid penalties. Our voluntary disclosure negotiations have saved clients untold amounts of tax, interest, and penalties. Let us negotiate these tax savings for you.

Audit Management

Businesses and individuals that the DOR suspects have avoided for tax payment are targeted, but any business with significant business activity can expect to be audited eventually.
Lately we’ve seen the DOR target entire industries such as convenience stores, restaurants and bars, hotels, and manufacturers.
But let it be known that audits are also randomly selected or could have been turned in by a former employee or customer for the tax issue.
The auditor will ask for all kinds of records that they are not necessarily entitled to have such as electronic copy of your whole accounting records.
The auditor will also ask you to sign certain documents that could wave your rights as a taxpayer, such as agreeing to the states sample method.
Most of the time the auditor is chasing a lead that may not prove to generate any revenue for the state but in the chase they usually find other tax issues.
Companies that have done everything they can to comply with the Florida tax laws can still end up with serious complications on a Florida sales and use tax audit just because the auditor’s job is to find deficiencies.

Why Are Taxpayers Audited by the State of Florida, Department of Revenue.
The State of Florida audit taxpayers to:
- Enforce Florida tax laws uniformly.
- Promote voluntary compliance.
While the State accepts most tax returns as filed, we audit 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.
How Are Taxpayers Selected for Audit?
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.
- Many times individuals and businesses and corporations are turned in by third parties or ex-employees.
What Types of Records Will I Need to Provide?
The types of records may include, but are not limited to:
- General ledgers and journals
- Cash receipt and disbursement journals
- Purchase and sales journals
- Sales tax exemption or resale certificates
- Any other records that the sales tax auditor may want or discovered during the course of the sales tax audit.
Record Keeping
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.
