The IRS Billing Process
When you do not pay in full when you file your income tax return, you will receive a bill from the IRS. This bill begins the collection process, which continues until your account is satisfied or until the IRS may no longer legally collect the tax.
The first notice you receive will be a letter that explains the balance due and requires payment in full. It will include the tax plus penalties and interest added to your unpaid balance from the date the tax was due.
You will get two other letters dated 5 weeks apart.Tehn the final notice before levy. If you are unable to pay your balance in full, Fresh Start Tax can offer you a monthly installment agreement.
Fresh Start Tax may temporarily get your case placed in suspended collection action. This is called Current not able to Collect. About 50% of the clients we represent because of their life condition are put in this hardship situation.
If you do not qualify for an installment agreement under any of the payment options, you may choose to propose an Offer in Compromise . An OIC is an agreement between a taxpayer and the IRS that resolves the taxpayer’s tax liability by payment of a reduced amount.
We carefully evaluate every case and carefully choose a course of action to take. We review all options with you.
It is important to contact us and make arrangements to pay the tax due voluntarily. If you do not contact us, we may take action to secure payment.
Some of the actions IRS may take to collect taxes include:
1. Filing a Notice of Federal Tax Lien
2. Serving a Notice of Levy on your wages or your bank account
3. Offsetting a refund to which you are entitled
The enforcement process:
The federal tax lien is a claim against your property, including property that you acquire after the lien arises. The lien arises automatically when you fail to pay the taxes you owe within ten days after we send our first notice.
The government may also file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien, which further protects its interest in your property as a creditor in competition with other creditors in certain situations, such as bankruptcy proceedings or sales of real estate.
The filing of a Notice of Federal Tax Lien may appear on your credit report and may harm your credit rating. Once a lien arises, the IRS generally cannot issue a “Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien” until the taxes, penalties, interest, and recording fees are paid in full or until the IRS may no longer legally collect the tax.
A Notice of Levy is another method the IRS may use to collect taxes. Levying means that we can confiscate and sell property to satisfy a tax debt. This property could include your car, boat, or real estate.
The IRS may also levy assets such as your wages, bank accounts, Social Security benefits, and retirement income. In addition, we will apply future federal tax refunds that you are due, to offset the amount you owe. Any state income tax refunds you are owed may also be applied to your federal tax liability. We make owing IRS back taxes easier and painless.

What is the IRS process to collect tax
Once IRS has a valid tax return in hand IRS take that tax return and inputs into the” CADE” system of Internal Revenue Service and creates a valid notice of assessment. That creates the ” date of assessment. That assessment is known as the TC 150 date.
IRS then sends out a series of Notices and Letters that start from a first tax notice or bill, CP14, until the final notice of intent to levy, CP 504. This process takes about 4 months. The following is a list of most common notices or letters you may receive from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the tax process. Notices and Letters you may receive from the IRS
* CP 14 Your balance due to IRS.
* CP22A Data processing adjustment and the balance is more than $5.
* CP90/CP297 Final Notice Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of your right to a hearing.
* CP297A Notice of Levy and your right to a hearing.
* CP91/CP298 Final notice before levy on social security benefit.
* CP501 Reminder Notice, balance due IRS.
* CP503 Second IRS notice on balance due.
* CP504 Final Notice balance due.
* CP521 Installment Agreement reminder notice.
* CP523 Default of installment agreement
After these letters and notices have been sent, if these notices have not been responded to, IRS will always send the CP 504 notice. It will come by certified mail.Within 6 weeks from the date on that notice of intent to levy letter, federal tax levies, bank garnishments and federal tax liens will but sent out. IRS must always make a final notice and demand and make sure you had an appeals right on all cases within their system. So what happens when the cases do out to the local field office
After processing thousands of cases as a former IRS agent I am asked, “just what happens to a case when it comes into the local office“. After cases leave the ACS unit and run there normal course in the “automated” system, IRS realizes the computer can do nothing to stir up the environment enough to make the taxpayer contact the IRS regional office, pay the tax, or work out some sort of deal. So the next steps must be taken.
A process of grading takes place on the” collection potential” of each case. Some of the factors are the dollar amounts that are due, the number of tax periods that tax is owed, the type of tax, whether the case qualifies for high dollar, and is this a “repeat” tax offender
.
IRS wants to make sure from a dollar amount the case is worth pursuing. On some cases, it is simply not worth the effort because of IRS thresholds. These are simply left in the collection system and automatic freeze codes are input on these cases. These cases will probably not be worked for some time. The number of tax periods owed is an important issue because IRS does not want repeat offenders especially those who willfully neglect the process. These are called multiple delinquent accounts.
Payroll tax cases get the” highest priority” because those are the so called trust-fund cases. This was money held in TRUST for the United States government. These cases are the highest priority at the Internal Revenue Service. The repeat offender is a big determining factor if the case is issued to the field. IRS simply adds the score of these major factors and determines whether or not the case is field worthy.
Once a case becomes field worthy is only half of the factor. At that point the case must be evaluated for a particular field office. Because most of the field offices are over loaded with cases, a determination must be made whether the case is ready to be worked or not. The local office agents who work these cases are called, Revenue Officers. They have a case load that is controlled by management and believe it or not the National Treasury Employees Union. The Union makes sure management is fair and does not overload the employees with high inventories. The system works very well and keeps a great check and balance system.
After a Revenue Officer closes a case, the “que” determines what case should be worked next based on the highest score. The group manager then puts that case into the revenues officers inventory and monitors the case until the case is closed. Periodic checks are made to ensure the case is being worked in the manner and format that has been predetermined by the Internal Revenue Manual (IRM). Now that a Revenue Officer has the case, the next stop is to do a full compliance check on the file, that is to make sure all tax return filings and all current payments are up to date. This full compliance check ensures the case will be worked and closed without other outstanding being owed or unfiled.
Many times the Revenue Officer may ask or pull an ACCURIANT REPORT. This report comes from a search engine that can go back ten years and check on all relative information such as, real property, DMV and such. Also it can search for credit card information and see whether you turned in a loan application when applying for credit. They can easily do an asset search based on the financial statement given to the third party lending or credit card agent.
The next step in the process is to make contact with the taxpayer. They can do this in different ways. The Revenue Officer can call the telephone number that is usually found in the file, send out a letter, or go by and make a field call to the home or the place of business. Depending on the way each Revenue Officer works will determine how the follow up is made. The field call to the home or place of business is usually the best way to handle a new case because it gives the revenue officer a sense of the environment the taxpayer lives or works in. The field call is a wake up call to the taxpayer that IRS is on their case. If the IRS does make a visit to your place of employment or home do not to worry, they are simply wanting to make contact and get financial information necessary to close your case. The same revenue officer will be with you through the duration of the case. Also be advised that if you are not home, they may leave a card or contact a neighbor just to make there point known.
Fresh Start tip, be as friendly as possibly and let them know you will have your representative contact them in the next couple of days and thank them for reminding you of your tax obligation.
