Lien And Levy Removal
Lien And Levy Removal
I found this useful information on Joe Mastriano’s website when I was searching the web for tax solutions to my IRS levy problem…
Once the liability is fully paid, the lien is no longer valid and should be removed.
If you want a lien released because of hardship reasons, then you need to file an appeal.
We usually file appeals directly with the collection officer or ACS. If no one is assigned you can file directly with your local appeals office. Sometimes I’ve had appeals secretaries tell me that they can’t accept an appeal unless it comes to them from collections. Don’t believe it. If you are about to suffer a hardship, and you have no one in collections assigned to your case, an appeals officer will take it. I have never failed at doing this.
You can stop IRS from taking action against you by being prepared.
IRS levies will be removed from if you can convince the collection employee that you are taking steps to be in full compliance. This means that returns and collection statement information is being prepared and will be given to them by the agreed upon due date.
Sometimes you need to file returns and/or collection statement info before a levy is released. In a more extreme case the IRS employee might want to review the financial statement information and set up an agreement first. If that will take too much time and checks will bounce, or your about to lose a paycheck, then proving hardship to speed up the removal of levy will be necessary.
