Wage Garnishment Release | Levy Release 

A wage garnishment is a type of levy. A levy is a legal seizure of your property to satisfy a debt. The IRS can garnish wages, take money in your bank or other financial account, seize and sell your vehicle, real estate and other personal property. The most common types of levies are bank levies and wage garnishments.
Prior to getting a levy the IRS is required to give you notice of their intent to levy. Normally, this is done by sending out letters such as a CP503, CP504, Letter 1058, LT11, CP 90 or CP91. You can identify each letter by looking at the top right corner of the letter, except for the letter 1058. The code for the 1058 is in the bottom right corner of the letter. If you have received any of these letters it is best to not delay.

Offer in Compromise 

An offer in compromise is a program that the IRS offers that allows a taxpayer to settle their tax debt for less than the full amount owed. Once an offer is accepted and all terms of the offer are met, the debt is no longer owed. It’s a very good program for those people who qualify.

An installment agreement is a monthly payment plan set up to pay a tax debt over time. It is important to get help setting up a payment amount that is low enough to allow you to “live” and pay the IRS. Some payment amounts are so high that it’s difficult for you to “breathe” and “live”.

Lien Discharge 

A lien is a legal claim against your property to secure payment of your tax debt in case you try to sell property. The IRS files a Notice of Federal Tax Lien in the county of your residence to alert creditors that the government has a legal right to your property. This is usually not too harmful if you are not planning on selling any property; and if you are not concerned with your credit because the lien does appear on your credit report. The problem with a lien normally arises when you try to sell real estate. You will not be able to sell the real estate. You will need a lien discharge.

Audit Representation 

There are three types of audits: a correspondence audit, an office audit and a field audit. A correspondence audit is simply a letter from the IRS indicating that they are questioning something on a tax return you filed and are proposing a change to your tax return. An office audit is completed by an IRS Revenue Agent at the Revenue Agent’s office. A field audit is conducted at your home, place of business or accountant’s office. Office and field audits are generally more detailed audits. The most common audits are correspondence and office audits. A correspondence audit can be something simple like an addition error on your tax return or something more complex like Earned Income Credit. It is important to get good representation to help with office audits, field audits and many correspondence audits.

Uncollectable Status 

Uncollectible status is also called Currently not Collectible status or CNC status. It is a program offered by the IRS where the IRS decides that you do not have the ability to pay anything monthly towards your debt, and therefore the IRS stops aggressive collection procedures towards you. The debt is still owed and reminder of balance due letters are occasionally mailed, but nothing else. This is a good option for some people who may not qualify for an offer in compromise.

Innocent Spouse Relief 

There are three types of relief from joint liability for spouses who filed joint returns:
Innocent Spouse Relief provides you relief from additional tax you owe if your spouse or former spouse failed to report income, reported income improperly or claimed improper deductions or credits.
Separation of Liability Relief provides for the allocation of additional tax owed between you and your former spouse or your current spouse from whom you are separated when an item was not reported properly on a joint return. The tax allocated to you is the amount for which you are responsible.
Equitable Relief may apply when you do not qualify for innocent spouse relief or separation of liability relief for something not reported properly on a joint return and generally attributable to your spouse. You may also qualify for equitable relief if the amount of tax reported is correct on your joint return but the tax was not paid with the return.

Injured Spouse Relief

You may be an injured spouse if you file a joint tax return and all or part of your portion of the tax overpayment was, or is expected to be applied (offset) to your spouse’s legally enforceable past-due federal tax, state income tax, state unemployment compensation debts, child or spousal support, or a federal nontax debt, such as a student loan.
