IRS wage garnishments and Levies can usually be stopped in several business days, if done properly. The last resort the IRS utilizes is a wage garnishment or levy. This is one of the most lethal weapons available to the IRS. There are several ways to have the levy or garnishment released.
The first thing that has to be done is to verify that the taxpayer is in compliance with the IRS. Being in compliance means that all outstanding tax returns for every year has been filed with the IRS. Those tax return include 1040’s, 1099’s, quarterly estimated tax payments, 941’s or 940’s, depending on the particular situation of the taxpayer.
The first thing to do in order to determine if you are in compliance is to immediately contact the IRS upon receipt notice of an IRS garnishment or levy. Be advised that you need to be very cautious when contacting the IRS in regards to this. Before the IRS will give you any information of your compliance, they will immediately interrogate you, trying to find out what bank accounts you have, what other incomes you have and the assets you own. This is all in an effort to begin to levy, garnish or seize any assets the taxpayer may have. This is one of the main reasons why a tax professional should contact the IRS on the taxpayers’ behalf. A tax professional does not have to release that personal information to the IRS. Our goal, at this point is to determine if the taxpayer is in compliance with the IRS filings.
Everything is determined by the IRS computers and the automated collections division. The only way to be brought into compliance is by filing all unfiled years. We may have to file 7 year’s worth of IRS tax returns or they may even go back further. This is why the IRS must be contacted immediately to figure out what needs to be done to bring the taxpayer back into compliance.
If there are compliance issues, the IRS will inform the tax professional what tax years must be filed. It is important to prepare these taxes. Then they need to be filed properly so they are acknowledged in the IRS computers immediately. The processing of these returns can start within hours, not weeks or months; the IRS will not release the wage garnishment until the tax returns are at least submitted for processing to the IRS.
When a taxpayer is in full compliance, the next thing the IRS is looking for is a resolution to the outstanding taxes owed to the IRS. This may be in the form of a payment plan, a partial payment plan, having the taxpayer declared non-collectible or an offer in compromise.
In most cases, the IRS will request your financial information through certain IRS forms in order to determine how much, if anything, the taxpayer can afford to pay towards their total tax liability. If your file is being handled in the automated collections division, a 433F form (a simplified Collection Information Statement) has to be prepared and filed with the field agent, also along with the supporting documentation. The IRS knows that in 90% of the cases, the wage garnishment or IRS levy is a hardship on the taxpayer, and the proper procedure is that after submitting these financials, the IRS should release the wage garnishment within hours. Our firm forces the IRS to comply with the rules and regulations and to have these matters of release expedited within hours and not weeks or months.
There is a second method of having a wage garnishment or levy released; this procedure consists of proving to the IRS that this wage garnishment is a true and immediate hardship to the taxpayer.
Bottom Line
The bottom line is, if you have unfiled tax returns, stop procrastinating. You may be hurting yourself and ruining your chances of getting an installment agreement, obtaining a refund, getting an Offer In Compromise or having your taxes discharged through bankruptcy. Why live in hiding? It’s not pleasant to live without a bank account. If you can’t locate income records, you can hire a tax professional, give them a Power of Attorney and they can request your income records from the IRS under The Freedom of Information Act. There’s no better time to get your unfiled tax returns filed and get current. Once you start the process, you’ll feel better. Once your returns are filed, your chances of settling your tax liabilities will be enhanced.
Restructuring Act
The IRS is the largest and most powerful collection agency in the United States. They are one of the only agencies that can seize your assets with no court orders. This doesn’t mean that the IRS can do whatever they feel like doing .They are regulated by congress with special guidelines that were passed in 1998 which is known as the IRS restructuring and reform act.
Unfortunately many of the IRS officers do not comply with the rules and regulations of the reform act unless forced to. Most taxpayers do not realize or understand what their rights are. Our confidential free consultation will not only explain your rights, but also help taxpayers navigate the murky waters of the IRS.
