21
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:07.120
Foul Hey, welcome man. It is a great Monday morning.

22
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:13.239
We had a nice long weekend and everything. My daughter's

23
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:19.439
graduation from Texas Tech University sumaccun light ave from an

24
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:25.040
Animal science from Texas Tech Davis College of Agricultural and

25
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:29.879
Animal Science, uh and stuff. It was fantastic, you know.

26
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:33.120
And then we get to you know, drive back towards Houston.

27
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.480
We live out in Hampstead area, but you know, we're

28
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:41.280
driving her back with all her stuff and her boyfriend

29
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:46.480
stuff to bring my daughter back to College Station. Actually

30
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.959
because she's going to start in College Station for Veterinarian

31
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:54.239
school at Texas A and M. So I guess it's

32
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:58.920
we're going from guns up and Wreckham to gig them

33
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:03.599
Aggie's uh so, you know it's gonna it's gonna be

34
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.920
a great year for her, and I guess four more

35
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:13.319
years of college education to become a VET. She spent

36
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.439
three years is Texas teching us driving you know, seven

37
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:19.960
plus hours to see her or her getting her home

38
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.080
to getting down to about a forty five minute drive.

39
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:27.759
So we're happy. And guess I say, well, and that's

40
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.000
I guess that's what we get to say is well

41
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:34.319
we got a short, short drive, and my oldest son,

42
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.039
who graduated from A and M, be very happy that

43
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:41.879
I was actually supporting A and M now, even though

44
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.199
for the last three years we've been guns Up and

45
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:49.280
wreck them. So, you know, great time here in Filler family.

46
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:52.560
You know, well here, what we're here talking about today

47
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:57.000
is something that is a question that gets asked a

48
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:01.280
lot of us, and that is I owe the I

49
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:05.680
R S. What can they take? And more importantly maybe

50
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:09.159
what can't they take? Or how do I avoid it?

51
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:14.400
And so we're talking about levees and you know levees

52
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.479
when the I R S is taking what you have

53
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:21.439
to pay your tax debt. And so first off, let's

54
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.360
talk about avoiding them. We really what you want to

55
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:27.560
do is avoid it. And you as a taxpayer who

56
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.960
owes the I R S money that they are coming

57
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.439
after and they're sending you letter after letter after levit

58
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.000
letter and then they send you a letter that they're

59
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.719
going to levy you. You know, to avoid it. First,

60
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.159
you as a taxpayer, you got to have all your

61
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.319
tax returns filed. So you know that's the first thing

62
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.240
is to go through and make sure that every single

63
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:52.759
year is actually filed. You know, sfrs, you know maybe

64
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:56.560
considered file but doesn't make the return right. Sfrs are

65
00:03:56.599 --> 00:04:00.240
substitute for returns. It's what the I R S bise

66
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.599
on your behalf. Now does that mean they are actually

67
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:08.759
taking every deduction. Does that mean they're finding every business

68
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:13.960
expense when you're in business. Absolutely no, they're not that generous.

69
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.680
They're not that nice. Remember there the largest, biggest, baddest

70
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.079
collection agency in what the whole white world my opinion.

71
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:24.519
So you need to go through and make sure you've

72
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:28.680
got all your tax returns filed and then stay current,

73
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.600
and then you're going to have to at some point

74
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:37.120
supply all your financial information. Now, you know, staying current

75
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:39.839
means making sure you got the current your tax is filed,

76
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:45.040
making sure you're making your estimated tax payments as acquired.

77
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:47.959
And then you know, when you're working with the Revenue

78
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:52.399
officer or US, you know we're going to need financial

79
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:56.079
information to get you the best deal that you possibly

80
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:58.920
can when you kind to try to put a payment

81
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:03.920
plan to a WED. These levees. Now, a couple of

82
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.360
things that you can do to avoid a levee is

83
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:11.680
you can actually request a collection due process hearing when

84
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:16.639
you get your notice final notice of intent to levy. Now,

85
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.680
if you remember the letter LT eleven or letter ten

86
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.560
fifty eight, those you're going to make it your best

87
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.759
opportunity to actually settle the case and make a deal,

88
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.240
because you're going to request a collection due Process hearing

89
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:37.399
CDP hearing to get the IRS cooperation and your cooperation

90
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:41.360
to work together to get you due process and get

91
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:45.120
you the best payment plan that is allowed by law

92
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:51.120
or non collectible status. Now, if you're too late to

93
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:54.600
file for that CDP hearing, then you got to cooperate

94
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:58.720
with your Revenue officer ROW and you've got to meet

95
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:02.240
all their requessronments. They're going to give you a whole

96
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:06.160
bunch of requirements that you need to file. So they're

97
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:09.160
going to give you a form that says, hey, this

98
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:12.240
is the information that we need from you, and it

99
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:16.399
starts with baying statements. Of course, if you're in business

100
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:22.399
profit and loss, your financial statements, your balance sheet, you're

101
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:26.040
going to have to go through and give them all

102
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.959
that information so that they can make a determination how

103
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:35.720
much money you can afford to pay. They make the

104
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:40.519
determination on how much money you can afford to pay.

105
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:43.240
Does that make sense to you? Well, it makes sense

106
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.560
to them, and what you can afford to pay and

107
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.040
what they think you can afford to pay are going

108
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:53.639
to be probably pollar opposites, meaning they're going to look

109
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.680
at it and go wow, you make this kind of money,

110
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.399
you can afford to pay two thousand dollars a month

111
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.360
on your tax that you go, whoa, whoa, whoa, Wait

112
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:04.560
a minute, I can only afford to pay one hundred

113
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.120
dollars a month, No, sir, you're going to pay the

114
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:10.000
two thousand. So you've got to learn to work within

115
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:15.439
their rules, their regulations, and then prove to them that

116
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:19.720
you can only afford to pay so much a month.

117
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:23.079
And then you've got to look at how they're calculating

118
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:27.560
what you can afford to pay to help determine what

119
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:32.519
makes sense to you. Now you know you're going to

120
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:36.040
go through You're going to request an installment agreement. Maybe

121
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:38.920
you'll file for an offer and compromise. Both of those

122
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:45.759
can stop levees, and then it allows you time to

123
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:50.560
look at all your other options. Now you're at taxation solutions,

124
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:54.319
tax relief. You know, when we're looking at avoiding levees,

125
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:57.920
we're looking at the reason for what you owe. I mean,

126
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:00.399
you know, is it just you didn't file your tax turns,

127
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:04.079
somebody fouled your tax return wrong, you just didn't have

128
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:08.079
the money to pay, you got audited. These are all

129
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:11.879
things that happen as part of life. And then now

130
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:15.079
all of a sudden, you owe the IRS money. You know,

131
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:17.519
if you got audited and you lost the audit, maybe

132
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:21.240
you didn't provide any information. Maybe it was a correspondence

133
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:24.160
audit and you weren't getting them information. You couldn't get

134
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.600
somebody to respond to you. Nobody would talk to you.

135
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:30.519
It was almost like you were working with a machine,

136
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.919
not a human being, not somebody that can, you know,

137
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:37.679
reason and talk with you. And you lose the audit.

138
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:40.200
So maybe we need to go through a complete audit

139
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:44.440
reconsideration to stop the levees and get the IRS to

140
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:48.000
look at your tax return again and get it to

141
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:51.639
make sense, and maybe we can win the audit and

142
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:55.600
then the debt goes away and then you don't have

143
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:59.039
a problem anymore, or we reduce the debt and something

144
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:03.159
you can afford. Hey, you know these are options, you know,

145
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:06.600
putting you into non collectible status, you can't afford to

146
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:11.000
pay a dime. Your money that comes in doesn't allow

147
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:12.759
you to do it. Maybe we can get you into

148
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:16.759
non collectible status and then stop all the levees on

149
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:19.399
you as well. Maybe we can go in and get

150
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:22.279
penalty abatements and get some of this reduced and get

151
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.480
the penalties gone so that you know, we can keep

152
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:32.799
you from having to go through these these levees and

153
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:37.159
reducing the amount you owe to maybe reducing the payment

154
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:40.039
plan that they're going to put you on as well.

155
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:45.360
So there are many options we have in tax resolution

156
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:50.360
to save you from these levees that the IRS can

157
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.279
place on you where they're taking you know, pretty much

158
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:57.960
everything that you own. So if you need to stop

Here's your host, Barry G. Feller.

186
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:51.840
Hey, welcome back a and we talk about helping people

187
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:55.720
with their taxes and helping people fight the IRS and

188
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:59.759
stop the IRS from taking what they have. You know

189
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.480
that does you know? Start with phone calls to set

190
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:06.919
taxation solutions at the eight eight eight nine three zero

191
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:11.960
one zero one six, and we can stop the IRS

192
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:14.679
a lot of times. If you have been levied, let's

193
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:18.919
say your bank account's been been levied and you need

194
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:20.960
that money to make payroll. You need that money to

195
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:23.519
pay your house and your mortgage and your or your

196
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:26.320
rent or car payments and stuff like that. And we

197
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:28.720
can prove to the irs, we can sometimes get that

198
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.799
money back as long as it's within a reasonable period

199
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.200
of time, and usually that's within that twenty thirty days.

200
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:38.639
So if you did get levied right away, we need

201
00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:42.799
to stop them and the IRS from collecting from your

202
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:47.080
bank and get that money put back into your Account's

203
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:49.039
bad enough, you're going to get hit with the bank

204
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:52.799
fees on top of what they've levied from you. So

205
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:55.360
you know, the idea is to get it back as

206
00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:59.039
quick as possible. Now, you know, are certain things that

207
00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:02.360
are exact that you don't have to worry about, and

208
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:05.559
some of these are kind of funny, and you know,

209
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:10.000
things like you're wearing apparel and your school books. So

210
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:12.639
if you've got books in your house that are technical

211
00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:16.840
books for school, they can become school bucks. You know,

212
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:21.200
if you need these books for let's say, auditory pair,

213
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:26.519
your chiltern guide, you know, or books for your your business,

214
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:29.799
whatever business you're in, can be considered school books and

215
00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:34.000
those are exempt from a levy. You really want to

216
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:38.039
see a great website for things that the I r

217
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:42.720
S has taken. You can actually go to the US

218
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:48.480
Department of Revenues website and look at auctions. They have houses, lands, businesses.

219
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:52.240
One of the funny ones I thought was interesting was

220
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.159
a business license. So somebody in the state of New

221
00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:03.360
York was licensed for out and their license was up

222
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.240
for auction. Evidently those are worth quite a bit in

223
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.200
the state of York. So it was just kind of

224
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.399
interesting to see some of the things that are there.

225
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.080
I mean, you know, jewelry and stuff like that, but

226
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:18.919
you know you're wearing apparel. I've never seen clothes there.

227
00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:23.320
I've never seen school books up for auction there as well.

228
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:29.879
But other things that are example, just fuel provisions, furniture,

229
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:34.960
personal effects that don't exceed ten thousand, eight hundred and

230
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:39.159
ten dollars. Now that's being adjusted for inflation in twenty

231
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:45.600
twenty six, but that's the value that they're allowing you

232
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:48.600
to have. Well, you know, fuel price is this. If

233
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:50.759
you at this price, if you've got a big old

234
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:53.720
tank out on your by your house, you might hit

235
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:57.840
that ten thousand dollars today. But remember we're less Our

236
00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:01.399
fuel prices are still cheaper right now than they were

237
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:05.360
about three years ago, so we have at least that

238
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:07.919
to say for it. Maybe the prices will come down

239
00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:15.440
here shortly as well. Books, tools of a trade, business

240
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:22.639
or profession. Those you can keep not subject to levy

241
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:26.799
as long as they're less than five four hundred dollars

242
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:29.799
in twenty twenty five. That'll be adjusted a little bit

243
00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:33.879
for inflation in twenty twenty six, so you know, things

244
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.799
like that are examp now. Also exempt any mail that

245
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:40.200
hasn't been delivered, so they can't go ready to the

246
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:44.159
post office, so if it hasn't been delivered, those are

247
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:49.320
exempt from a levee. Judgments for support of minor children,

248
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:54.639
so this is a required judgment by court, not your judgment,

249
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.360
not in my judgment, but a judgment of a court,

250
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:02.320
and that judgment would have to be entered prior to

251
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:07.200
the date of the levee. So those are the things

252
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:12.080
that you would have exempt from a levee. And then

253
00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:17.600
the amount of salary, wages or other income as necessary

254
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:22.120
to comply with such judgment as exempt. So if you

255
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:26.000
have a judgment against you to support your minor children,

256
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:31.639
then your salaries and wages or other income that's coming

257
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:35.639
in that allows you to comply with that judgment would

258
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:39.240
be exempt. Now that does not mean after you pay

259
00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:43.600
all your other bills that this amount is exempt. It's

260
00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:47.320
the first dollars. So if you're ordered to pay one

261
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:51.200
thousand dollars a month, well one thousand dollars of your

262
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:55.559
pay is exempt and then they figure out the rest

263
00:16:56.279 --> 00:17:01.200
that you can keep from there. Now, the IRSs formulas

264
00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:03.679
on that, so you can go through and look at

265
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:09.559
their formulas. So that minimum that the IRS, you know,

266
00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:13.480
is what they're going to figure on your salaries and

267
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:19.079
wages or other income. So that exempt amount means basically

268
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:23.240
an amount equal to the sum of the standard deduction

269
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:28.640
and the aggurate amount of the deductions for personal exemptions

270
00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:33.000
allowed the tax payer in the taxable year in which

271
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:38.079
the Levey occursvided by fifty two. So they're going to

272
00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:40.440
give you that standard deduction. So you'd have to look

273
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:45.279
at whether how you're filing married, filing, joint married, filing, separate, single,

274
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:49.319
had a household, you know, get that standard deduction for

275
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:53.599
the year divided by fifty two. Now, if you're getting

276
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:59.680
any other personal exemptions in there, they're going to add

277
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.960
those in as well and then divide that by fifty

278
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.279
two and then allow you to have that money out

279
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:10.680
of your paycheck plus the amount of money that you

280
00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:15.039
would have for it. The previous talked about judgments against you,

281
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:18.759
So your employer gets to figure that out, and then

282
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:21.799
you would probably have to prove to your employer the

283
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:26.279
judgment amount as well and provide that to your employer. Now,

284
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.240
a lot of times when you are paying child support,

285
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:32.319
they send it to your employer and it comes out

286
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:35.599
of your check and then directly to there. See, it's

287
00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:39.359
kind of one of those things. Government. Big Brother feels

288
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:42.640
the same way about tax money as they do about

289
00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:47.319
judgments against you, that you won't pay it unless somebody

290
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:50.240
else does it for you. They feel the same way

291
00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:54.839
about income taxes. You're not going to pay it unless

292
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:59.559
your employer pulls it out and gives it to Big Brother,

293
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:04.400
the federal government. So you know, again those exemptions and

294
00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:08.160
those judgments can be used. If it's not being pulled

295
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:11.559
from your paycheck and you're paying that judgment out personally,

296
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:14.240
then you need to provide the amount to the employer

297
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:16.759
and proof of the judgment so that they can properly

298
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:20.680
figure how much money Big Brother is going to allow

299
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:23.920
you to keep and how much Big Brother is going

300
00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:28.440
to take or your tax debt. That's how that levee

301
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:34.839
is going to work. So again you, as a taxpayer,

302
00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:40.640
have to submit a written and verified statement specifying the

303
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:46.079
facts necessary to determine the proper amount and therefore apply

304
00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:53.759
your employer can apply it to you. So makes it

305
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:57.680
a little bit difficult, but it is the way the

306
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:03.720
rules are written and the raid the rules will work. Now. Property,

307
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:06.960
so if you have a residence with a small deficiency

308
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:12.200
that means under five thousand, they're not going to make

309
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:15.079
you get rid of that. You have real property that's

310
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:18.400
used as a residence by the taxpayer probably going to

311
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:23.000
get to keep it. Any other real property of the taxpayer.

312
00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:28.079
So if you own any other property and it's used

313
00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:32.160
by you as an individual residence or part time residence,

314
00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:35.559
you might be able to keep it, but you've got

315
00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:37.799
to be using it now. If you have real property

316
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.440
as being rented or as investment, you're not going to

317
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:46.599
get to keep it. Now. Your principal residence is usually exempt.

318
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:51.519
But if you have a huge amount of equity, we're

319
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:54.559
going to talk about what the irs can ask you

320
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:58.960
to do for that equity in your home when you

321
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:01.960
owe them a bunch of we're gonna do that. Right

322
00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:03.119
after this quick break.

323
00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:07.759
We have only scratched the surface of today's show. Please

324
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:11.319
stand by as Barry gief Fowler will be right back with.

325
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:12.519
Tax talk for you.

326
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:18.640

here's your host, Barry G.

340
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:07.640
Fallon.

341
00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:13.160
Well, welcome back. You know we're talking about your personal residence,

342
00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:16.200
your principal residence, and you have a lot of equity

343
00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:19.279
in that house. What's the irs going to be looking

344
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:22.079
at doing well? One the irs may be looking at

345
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:26.279
still seizing that property or making you sell that property

346
00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:30.559
to access that equity, but most likely they're going to

347
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:32.759
ask you to go get a loan on that property,

348
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:35.559
and you know, it may be a home equity line

349
00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:39.279
of credit or maybe a heelock loan, or maybe you

350
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:41.160
don't have a mortgage on it, and they tell you

351
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:43.640
to go get a mortgage on that property, pay them

352
00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:46.720
the money that you owe them, and actually it may

353
00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:50.240
not be a reasonable ask because it may give you

354
00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:52.519
much lower interest rate than what you're going to pay

355
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:57.160
the irs, and so it may be reasonable to do that.

356
00:22:57.960 --> 00:22:59.960
Plus they're looking at it that you took all them

357
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:02.000
money that you owe them, put it in, poured it

358
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:04.160
into your residence, and that's why you don't owe as

359
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:06.519
much or you don't owe And it could be just

360
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:10.240
simply the property values have skyrocketed you first bought it

361
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:14.279
and that and now you have a lot of equity

362
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:16.680
out there, so maybe you can access that equity to

363
00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:20.960
pay them down, okay, And that's usually what they're going

364
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:24.279
to ask you to do if you get denials, and

365
00:23:24.359 --> 00:23:26.599
a lot of times they ask for three different denials

366
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:29.440
from three different banks so that you can prove that

367
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:32.359
there is no way you could access this and there's

368
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:35.200
no way you can get a loan on this and

369
00:23:35.400 --> 00:23:37.160
a lot of times when you owe as much money

370
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:39.680
to the I R S that they're asking you to

371
00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:43.720
do this, it generally means your credit is probably poor anyway,

372
00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:47.240
and it's going to be very difficult to do. So

373
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:51.119
they're going to look at those terms as well. Something

374
00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:54.480
that's really kind of exempt and it could be your

375
00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:59.279
tangible personal property or real property. You know, they could

376
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:03.119
be looking at those things to take. But if it's

377
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:06.559
used in your trade or business or is rented out

378
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:09.799
and you need that income coming in and it has

379
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:14.680
a positive cash flow to you, then you might be

380
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:17.720
able to keep that property to help pay the taxes.

381
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:21.759
Because you know, if maybe selling that property that's being

382
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:25.240
rented and has income coming to you could prove to

383
00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:29.079
the IRS that gives you the wherewithal to make the payments.

384
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:32.359
So maybe we'd be able to avoid the levy on

385
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:37.559
that and the taking of the property to sell. So

386
00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:39.960
we have a lot of different options out there. We

387
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:43.759
just got awigh the options to determine what right for you.

388
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:47.160
But the best thing to do is to stop the

389
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:52.200
IRS from taking anything, and you know, finding the right

390
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:55.960
solution to the problem. If you're doing an offering compromise

391
00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:00.559
and you have tangible personal property or you know, real

392
00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:04.519
property that has value with it, the IRS as part

393
00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:06.279
of that offer is going to use it as part

394
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:08.759
of the amount that you're going to pay them. So

395
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:12.279
you know that it will increase or change your offer

396
00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:16.599
as you go based on this personal property, and especially

397
00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:21.799
if you've got equity and home, business property, even rental property,

398
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:24.680
all that stuff is going to be used to determine

399
00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:30.000
what you can pay to the IRS. Now in order

400
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:36.599
for the IRS to seize your principal residents, ir C

401
00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:41.680
Code Internal Revenue Code Section sixty three thirty four says

402
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:46.839
these other prerequisites all required notices had to have an

403
00:25:46.920 --> 00:25:49.759
issued to you. Does it mean you had to open them?

404
00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:53.400
Did you mean you have to know what they meant? Zero?

405
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:58.480
N No, it does not. It just means they had

406
00:25:58.559 --> 00:26:02.799
to be sent to the last known address. If you

407
00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:05.240
didn't provide a change of address and they sent it

408
00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:12.039
to an old address, sorry about that. If they send

409
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:15.599
it to an old address, it's still considered constructively received

410
00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:20.319
and therefore notice has been issued to you. If you

411
00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:23.920
did not pick up that certified letter from the post office,

412
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:30.519
it is still considered received by you. I RS has

413
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:35.960
done their job. Per the Internal Revenue Code, all consideration

414
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:42.319
has been given to every alternative collection option. So basically

415
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:45.960
they had to give you an option for a payment plan,

416
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:51.079
an option to get loans, and any option that is

417
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:55.319
available that you would qualify for, including offers and compromise

418
00:26:55.559 --> 00:27:00.279
non collectible status, even a partial pay installment agreement if

419
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:05.640
you qualify. They also have to provide evidence to assure

420
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:11.319
that economic health, hardship, health issues, offers, a compromise on

421
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:16.799
public based on public policy considerations, and other matters have

422
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:21.720
all been taken into account, and they're going to have

423
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:27.599
to provide evidence that the sale will be economical. So

424
00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:30.720
is it economical for the IRS to go through all

425
00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:36.759
this process to get this property and take it from you,

426
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:40.400
to be able to sell it and then get enough

427
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:43.319
money off of it to pay some of the debt. Now,

428
00:27:43.839 --> 00:27:46.839
your liability also has to be greater than a Wapping

429
00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:51.440
five thousand dollars, not ten, not twenty and thirty, not

430
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:54.920
fifty five. I don't know how this makes sense economically,

431
00:27:55.319 --> 00:27:59.400
but five thousand. Then it's not up to the revenue officer,

432
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:03.400
up to the revenue officers manager or the revenue officers

433
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:09.279
manager's manager. It is actually up to IRS Council and

434
00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:14.799
only they approved the proposed seizure of the property, and

435
00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:17.720
then they refer it over to the Department of Justice

436
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:21.680
for filing the action. So it is a long and

437
00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:25.480
hard process. That's why I'm really surprised that they have

438
00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:31.640
this five thousand dollars minimum that they could actually seize

439
00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:34.839
property for kind of crazy. You would think it would

440
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:37.319
be that one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand or a

441
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:41.079
million and above. You know, they're going to go after

442
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:44.640
seizing property where it makes economical sense, and five thousand,

443
00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:48.279
to me, does not make economical sense because it's going

444
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:53.160
to cost US taxpayers, not the IRS, not anybody else,

445
00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:56.440
but US taxpayers who foot the bill more than probably

446
00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:00.319
five thousand dollars to not only have a revenue or

447
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:04.680
document everything, get everything, approve it through the managers, and

448
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:07.319
then send it to council. The council to sit down

449
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:10.559
and go through and review this whole thing to make

450
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:14.680
sure that they've done all the prerequisites and met every

451
00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:21.319
single internal revenue codes a section before they approved the

452
00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:26.880
proposed seizure, and then send it from Council to the

453
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:30.119
Department of Justice, who then again has to go through

454
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:34.759
all the paperwork, make sure that everything makes sense, and

455
00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:40.400
then file the filing at the United States District Court.

456
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:44.559
And then after months of sitting in court and going

457
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:50.160
through and reviewing, and then if you have a lawyer

458
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:54.000
who can work with you in the United States District

459
00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:58.720
Court who delays the proceedings, six nine to twelve months later,

460
00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:04.519
the court then issues the written order to seize your

461
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:09.160
property and then becomes property of the United States government,

462
00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:13.079
who will sell it. Yes, they'll pay off your lean

463
00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:15.759
when they sell it. If there's a lean on the property,

464
00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:19.960
the proceeds will go to pay off your debt. They

465
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:24.960
consider basically fire sale value eighty percent. If they get

466
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:29.240
that eighty percent and pays off your mortgage and has

467
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:33.039
some money left over to pay on your debt, they

468
00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:35.759
will pay on your debt. If it is more money

469
00:30:35.799 --> 00:30:39.720
than your debt is, they will actually pay you back

470
00:30:39.880 --> 00:30:44.440
because they receive more than the debt and expenses was.

471
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:50.160
And then you would receive whatever's leftover from there, generally nothing.

472
00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:55.920
Generally you still owe. They did not take this and

473
00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:59.440
automatically use it to write off one hundred percent of

474
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:04.440
your tax debt. Now they took this property applied what

475
00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:08.200
they make off the sale, what they receive off the sale,

476
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:11.119
less the expenses of the sale, less the expenses of

477
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:15.720
the court, and generally you still owing them money. But

478
00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:18.279
they feel happy and satisfied because what did they do.

479
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:22.079
They made your life miserable. They just took your property

480
00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:25.400
and sold it right out from underneath you. So sometimes

481
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:28.000
it's better to work with their revenue officer, put it

482
00:31:28.079 --> 00:31:31.039
up for sale yourself, and you'll maybe get more money

483
00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:34.039
to apply than the government is going to apply on

484
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:37.519
your account. So things you've got to look at and

485
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:41.640
try to work through. Boy, I told you the Revenue

486
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:45.480
IRS is one of the toughest and biggest, baddest revenue

487
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:50.000
collection agencies debt collection in the whole wide world. They

488
00:31:50.039 --> 00:31:53.599
do have power. Yeah, they have pretty requisites to go through. Yeah,

489
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:56.000
they've got a step by step step they've got to

490
00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:58.640
go through. And if they miss a step and it's

491
00:31:58.640 --> 00:32:01.640
caught by counsel, gets referred back and they've got to

492
00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:06.200
go through and redo fix those steps. If they missed

493
00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:08.480
the steps and it's been ah and the council didn't

494
00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:11.079
catch it and Department of Justice didn't catch it, and

495
00:32:11.079 --> 00:32:14.319
it's in district court and your lawyer catches it. Guess what,

496
00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:18.440
it would get kicked back to that revenue officer and

497
00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:21.039
they would have to go through all the steps to

498
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:25.680
make sure that they've done everything correctly before they again

499
00:32:26.359 --> 00:32:30.119
get counsel referral to court. Now there might be a

500
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:32.799
little bit more hesitant and they will do a lot

501
00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:36.240
more double checking and everything to make sure that they

502
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:44.079
have covered all their bases. So what about your business assets?

503
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:48.079
Assets of your business? You know a lot of times

504
00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:50.920
the IRS does want to keep you in business, and

505
00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:54.920
sometimes the IRS just doesn't give a rats behind about

506
00:32:55.359 --> 00:32:57.240
you or your business and they want to put you

507
00:32:57.279 --> 00:33:00.359
out of business. And they're going to find out way

508
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:02.920
to levy against your business or close your business and

509
00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:07.720
take whatever assets that you have to pay off your

510
00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:10.839
tax debt. You know, the whole goal of the IRS

511
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:13.480
is collecting money. It's not to keep you in business,

512
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:16.640
it's not to allow you to live, it's not to

513
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:19.960
do anything other than collect, collect, collect. Yeah, they talk

514
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:22.000
a good game with Fresh Start, They talk a good

515
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:24.920
game about hey, this gets you back and a good

516
00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:29.359
compliant taxpayer. You know, yes, ma'am, I am going to

517
00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:33.480
pay my taxes. Yes, sir, I am going to give

518
00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:36.119
you everything that I have and everything that I own.

519
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:41.000
That's compliance. It's actually paying the minimum amount that you

520
00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:46.039
actually can, paying the minimum taxes that allowed by law

521
00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:51.279
as you can go. That's to me compliance. Hey, we're

522
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:54.640
going to talk about levying and banking business accounts and

523
00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:58.640
business assets, what they can and can't do against your business.

524
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:00.279
And we're going to do that right after this bring.

525
00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:05.200

tax stock for you with more tax stock once again.

533
00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:40.079
Here's your host, Barry G. Fowler.

534
00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:45.480
All right, we're talking about business assets here for a minute.

535
00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:50.199
And you own a business. In your businesses as tax debt,

536
00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:53.880
you know whether you're eleven twenty orther, you're a payroll taxes,

537
00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:59.800
whether your ow penalties for filing late, the IRS can

538
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:05.000
levy you. So you know what the IRS is concerned

539
00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:09.280
with is whether or not the collection of tax is

540
00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:11.800
going to be in jeopardy. So if they allow you

541
00:35:11.880 --> 00:35:15.119
to be in business and you continue, continue to continue

542
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:18.639
to be out of compliance, you don't file your nine

543
00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:20.880
nine forty ones on time, you don't pay your nine

544
00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:24.559
forty one taxes on time, and you continue to do

545
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:29.000
this and you're just repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat offender. IRS

546
00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:33.679
doesn't really care and they figure that by leaving you

547
00:35:33.800 --> 00:35:39.039
in business jeopardy, they are in jeopardy of collecting tax

548
00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:43.280
dollars from you to All you're doing is robbing them

549
00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:49.719
to pay your employees. They are not looking at it that, hey,

550
00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:51.599
I can leave you in business and you're going to

551
00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:55.119
pay your debt. You have improved one iota that you

552
00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:59.000
can make a single tax payment to the IRS. Because

553
00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:01.800
you haven't done it, they've been working with you. They

554
00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:09.199
are in jeopardy of any collections whatsoever. So a district

555
00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:14.880
duct director or assistant director director can approve in writing

556
00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:20.400
the levee against you and your business. So that is

557
00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:23.360
what they're going to do. I have seen it. They

558
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:26.840
went and not just levied against the bank account. And

559
00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:29.199
this business didn't have a lot of assets, but it

560
00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:32.639
did have people who issued them ten ninety nine's every year,

561
00:36:33.119 --> 00:36:37.199
and they went directly to their source of income and

562
00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:41.599
levied against their source of income, effectively put them out

563
00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:45.519
of business. So any money that was owed to that

564
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:49.280
company or individual who was doing the work for them

565
00:36:49.719 --> 00:36:52.559
would never be received. As long as that levee is

566
00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:58.599
in place, it is continuous. So if XYZ company you

567
00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:02.960
work for abe ABC goes to pay you when you

568
00:37:03.000 --> 00:37:05.559
do the invoice, the levee's there that send the money

569
00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:11.000
to awhere the IRS, not to you directly to the IRS.

570
00:37:11.480 --> 00:37:14.519
You again work for them and you send them your invoice,

571
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:18.119
they go to pay you. Nope, that levee's there. You

572
00:37:18.360 --> 00:37:23.320
just worked for free. The money went to the IRS.

573
00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:27.639
You have got to now find a way to get

574
00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:33.679
that levee released that is sent to that company so

575
00:37:33.719 --> 00:37:35.880
that you can go back to work to start having

576
00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:38.320
money coming in. But you're going to have to prove

577
00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:44.000
to them you are going to be in compliance, making

578
00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:47.360
your estimated tax payments, making your payroll tax payments, and

579
00:37:47.480 --> 00:37:52.440
doing this timely. That is what they're looking for, that

580
00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:56.360
is what they're expecting. So it takes a lot of work.

581
00:37:56.400 --> 00:38:00.280
So if your business is faced with this levee, you

582
00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:05.920
need to get tax relief, tax help, tax resolution, and

583
00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:09.239
get this out of the way. Best Places College call

584
00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:12.679

00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:26.559
and brand there today. So you know you need to

589
00:38:26.559 --> 00:38:27.719
stop these levees.

590
00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:28.440
Now.

591
00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:33.559
I got a question from Jane can they take my wages?

592
00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:39.599
And we talked about that earlier. Yes, any compensation for services,

593
00:38:40.840 --> 00:38:48.400
whether it's fees, commissions, bonuses, salary, those are continuing levees

594
00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:52.119
until that levee is released and the i r S

595
00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:54.880
can take it. Now, there is an exept amount. We

596
00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:57.400
talked about that in one of the earlier sections of

597
00:38:57.440 --> 00:39:00.719
this pipe of this radio program. And go back and

598
00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:04.760
listen to the podcast at tax Talk the number four

599
00:39:04.920 --> 00:39:09.440
letter you dot com and see the podcast over there

600
00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:12.239
once we put it up and be able to go

601
00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:17.559
back and listen how they figure your wage levey out there.

602
00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:22.599
But it is actually continuing wage levy. That is per

603
00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:30.119
section i AM sixty three point thirty one E. So

604
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:33.760
that is in the Internal Revenue Code. It's also in

605
00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:40.039
the Treasury Regulations section three one DOTI six three three

606
00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:46.760
one A one. A levee on salary and wages extends

607
00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:49.880
only to the property possessed and obligations which exists at

608
00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:53.679
the time of the levee. Obligations exist when the liability

609
00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:57.000
obligator is fixed in terminal, although the right to receive

610
00:39:57.039 --> 00:40:00.760
payment thereof is deferred into a letter later day. Both

611
00:40:01.239 --> 00:40:04.559
salary or wages earned but not yet paid at the

612
00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:08.960
time on levy advances on salary and wages made subsequent

613
00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:12.920
to the date of levy salary or wages earned in

614
00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:18.199
becoming payable subsequent to the date of levy until released.

615
00:40:19.239 --> 00:40:23.159
The other way your levee gets released is your c

616
00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:28.159
SAIDs run out statues of limitations. So your levee can

617
00:40:28.199 --> 00:40:33.880
go as long as your statue of limitations. So you know,

618
00:40:33.960 --> 00:40:36.440
you've got to remember that. You know, if you've got

619
00:40:36.840 --> 00:40:39.480
ten year statute of limitations, that wage levee can be

620
00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:42.559
there for ten years. If you're only down to two

621
00:40:42.679 --> 00:40:45.440
years or one year, it's then you know that one

622
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:47.679
or two years. You know, I see a lot of

623
00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:50.199
people that once they get a wage levy, they are

624
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:54.360
now running from one company to another company until the

625
00:40:54.400 --> 00:40:58.880
IRS finds them over there. Sometimes it takes them a

626
00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:01.239
year to find them, so so you know, maybe you

627
00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:05.360
can run and hide. It's not the way I recommend

628
00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:07.639
that you're going to deal with this. It's kind of

629
00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:09.719
like sticking your head in the sand and hoping for

630
00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:13.880
the best. No, it isn't going to work. Your pocket

631
00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:14.480
is still.

632
00:41:14.239 --> 00:41:14.559
In the air.

633
00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:16.480
If your head's in the sand, and the IRS is

634
00:41:16.559 --> 00:41:18.480
going to pick your pocket and take what you have

635
00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:22.559
one way or the other. Sometimes it's levying on your

636
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:26.039
bank accounts and sometimes it's you know, leving wages. They

637
00:41:26.039 --> 00:41:32.920
can even levy against Social Security ouch. They're evil, so

638
00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:37.440
you got to remember that part as well. They can

639
00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:40.800
attach up to fifteen percent of some payments that are

640
00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:43.920
due to you, so any federal payment or than the

641
00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:52.559
payment for income or assets, unemployment benefits, workers compensation, public

642
00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:58.559
assistant payments, and any annuity or pension under the Railroad

643
00:41:58.599 --> 00:42:03.519
Retirement Act or benefit of the Railroad Retirement Act. You

644
00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:06.519
can also have continuing levies like we talked about on

645
00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:11.719
Social Security and retirement benefits, your federal salaries and wages,

646
00:42:11.920 --> 00:42:17.000
federal retirement annuities, vendor payments from federal contracts. Hey, if

647
00:42:17.079 --> 00:42:20.960
you're a doctor's office in you are getting Medicare or medicaid,

648
00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:24.719
that they can take one hundred percent of what you're

649
00:42:24.760 --> 00:42:27.760
going to get from Medicare and medicaid. Yes they can.

650
00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:32.400
They can levy against your military retirement pay. All those

651
00:42:32.960 --> 00:42:37.840
things can be levy. Now, there are certain things that

652
00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:45.000
it doesn't include. Supplemental security income, certain veterans benefits, federal

653
00:42:45.039 --> 00:42:50.159
housing assistants, and temporary assistance for needing any families would

654
00:42:50.199 --> 00:42:54.320
not be included. Boy, a lot of information and in

655
00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:57.400
a short time. Man, you know, I love this program,

656
00:42:57.400 --> 00:43:00.880
but sometimes it just goes so fast. We keep talking

657
00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:03.800
about these levees. I've got several questions of you know, hey,

658
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:06.320
how many times can they love you my bank account?

659
00:43:06.320 --> 00:43:08.400
They can love your bank account as often as that

660
00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:11.800
