What Are the Specific Laws Governing San Pedro IRS Bank Account Levies?
As stated, the tremendous power afforded to the IRS, when it comes to seizing assets such as bank funds, is jaw-dropping. They can take money out of your personal bank account. However, the IRS has guidelines and rules to follow along with specific conditions before they can take your money. The following are the three conditions that usually must be met (with exceptions):
- The IRS must assess a tax liability and send you a notice.
- You must fail to pay or fail to make other arrangements.
- The IRS must send a final notice of intent to levy. The letter must explain that you have 30 days to appeal or make payment arrangements.
If the IRS fails to follow any of these steps, the levy can be reversed based on procedural errors. However, only one notice of your rights is required for each tax period.
Are there exceptions to the rules? Yes, there are exceptions. The IRS does not need to give you 30 days’ notice to a hearing if:
- It feels collection of the tax money you owe is jeopardy (flight risk)
- To collect tax from a state tax refund
- The IRS served a Disqualified employment tax levy
If any of these situations hold, then the IRS will send you a notice of your appeal rights after it issues the levy.
