State Bank Levy

 

How Do I Stop a State Bank Levy On Bank Account?

 

A state levy is one of the harshest penalties a person can face for not paying their state taxes. The levy gives the taxing authority the legal right to seize your assets. The state authorities can use the levy against your bank accounts, investment accounts, wages, pensions, insurance policies, and even your physical assets.

 

If you've received a notice of levy on your bank account from your bank, it's critical that you contact Morris and Associates immediately. A proper response to the notice could delay or even prevent the actual enforcement of the levy.

 

Failure to act will result in a hold on all funds in your bank account. The state's levy timeframe for freezing the account before actually sending the state's funds varies from state to state. The taxing authority may keep filing additional bank levies and withdraw more money every time you add more funds to your bank account. This process will continue until the tax debt is fully satisfied.

 

Morris and Associates experienced team of professionals can leverage the tools available to prevent the state from seizing the funds in your bank accounts. If we can work with the state on your behalf for a payment arrangement and this gets approved by the state authority, and payments are being made on time, the bank levy could be lifted.

 

Let us help you determine the best resolution for you. Our goal is to stop an IRS Bank Levy and resolve your tax problem as quickly as possible.

IRS Wage Garnishment

 

How Do I Stop IRS Wage Garnishments?

 

The sad truth: the IRS doesn't take into consideration your expenses or unique circumstances when determining how much to garnish from your salary. The IRS wage garnishment can withhold over 50% of your paycheck. 

 

Getting a second job won't help you get ahead, either. The IRS also has the authority to garnish 100% of your wage from your second job! 

 

IRS wage garnishment is the process in which the IRS orders your employer to withhold a set amount of your paycheck to repay your tax debt. 

 

To mitigate or even halt IRS wage garnishments, you need to hire an accountant who has experience dealing with the IRS and understands the tax code, your legal rights, and what options are available to you. At Morris and Associates, we have over 38 years’ experience dealing with such cases and have successfully been able to stop wage garnishments for over 80 clients. 

 

3 Tools We Can Use to Stop IRS Wage Garnishments

We can stop wage garnishments. Let our expertise and experience work on your behalf. 

 

Offer In Compromise

An Offer In Compromise is a repayment plan where you'll only be required to pay a percentage of the tax debt you owe. We can negotiate with the IRS to find a compromise that not only satisfies the IRS but is affordable for you. Coming to an agreement on a compromise with the IRS is a complex process that takes into consideration several factors, such as income, expenses, and more.

 

Installment Agreement Plan

An Installment Agreement is a repayment plan that allows you to make small, incremental payments towards your tax repayment. Our goal with the Installment Agreement Plan is to enable you to make an affordable, on-time, monthly tax payment without leaving you strapped for cash every month.

 

Currently Non-Collectable (CNC) Status

For some people, being assigned to non-collectible status is the best option. Currently Non-collectable (CNC) status is assigned to you when the government has determined you are unable to pay your tax debt. To get this status, you will need to demonstrate that you are in economic hardship. The IRS will stop sending threatening letters and phone calls while you are classified as a CNC.

State Wage Garnishment

 

How Do I Stop State Tax Wage Garnishment?

 

State tax wage garnishments may withhold up to 25% of your paycheck. And this means your employer will continue garnishing your wages each paycheck until your state tax debt is fully paid.

 

Did you know that state tax wage garnishments take precedence over all other wage garnishments? The only exceptions being court-ordered child support payments and federal tax debt. 

 

Most states will not agree to stop a state wage garnishment with a state installment agreement. Morris and Associates can reduce the amount of a state wage garnishment if you can show you are in hardship. If your state provides an offer in compromise resolution to state tax debt, Morris and Associates can help you determine if you qualify, and if so, we can stop a state wage garnishment.

My Passport Application Was Denied or My Passport was Revoked

 

If the IRS has certified that you have a seriously delinquent tax debt, i.e., you owe over $51,000 in back taxes that have not been resolved, then your passport can be revoked or your application for a new passport can be denied.

 

In January 2018, the IRS began to enforce IRC section 7345, which requires the State Department to deny an application or revoke the passport of any individual with seriously delinquent tax debt.

 

You will receive a notification in writing from the State Department if your passport application or renewal was denied or if your passport was revoked.

 

Let Morris and Associates help you resolve your IRS issue and have your certification reversed. Our tax experts understand tax laws and can help you resolve your tax issues.

Revenue Officer Assignment

 

If a Revenue Officer field collector made a personal visit to my business or home or has been personally assigned to your tax collection case, this means the IRS is taking your case more seriously.

 

It's the Revenue Officer's job to ensure all the necessary or required IRS notices have been issued. These may include:

 

  • Balance Due Notice (Letter 3174)
  • Summary of Taxpayer Contact (Form 9297)
  • Final Notice
  • Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Rights to a Hearing (Letter 1058)
  • Notice of Federal Tax Lien Filing and Your Right to a Hearing Under IRC 6320 (Letter 3172(DO))
  • Notice of Federal Tax Lien (Form 668(Y)(c))
  •  

Once the Revenue Officer has verified and issued the IRS required notices, he or she will begin actively investigating and collecting data for the IRS.
