All of those six tax returns were prepared over the next three weeks.  For your viewing is a copy of the release of levy notice.

October 2018 case update:

Just because you may have forgotten to file a tax return 15 years ago does not mean it can’t necessarily come back to haunt you later. That happened to John. He did not file a 2003 tax return. Here in 2018 he is still getting collection notices. Because he never filed a tax return that year the IRS filed the return for him. The IRS calls this a Substitute For Return and you do not want this to happen to you.  Upon meeting with John, Scott Allen EA was able to prepare and protest the IRS filing. As you can see in the IRS notice below his tax bill went from $8,000 down to $3,000.

Do you have a Gilbert AZ IRS wage garnishment?

If so, you might want to utilize the services of Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.  In this particular case (see below) they were able to help their client William out.  He came in to meet with Scott Allen EA last week.  The IRS sent a Gilbert AZ IRS wage garnishment to his employer six weeks prior, taking over $1,200 of his pay check every two weeks.  Within 36 hours of giving Scott Power of Attorney he was able to get a full release of that garnishment on his wages.

If you don’t this can happen to you, think again.  When the IRS feels that the taxpayers is no longer responsive they will resort to Gilbert AZ IRS wage garnishment action.  They hope for this to be a wake up call to get the taxpayer back in compliance with them.

What does it mean to be in compliance?

There are two major steps to getting yourself back in good standing or compliance with the IRS.  First, you have to be current with all your tax filing obligations.  If you have any back tax returns that need to be prepared Scott Allen EA will assist you in that preparation process.  Second, in order for the IRS to consider you compliant you have to be current with you withholdings if you are an employee or making estimated tax payments if you are self employed. The IRS is more concerned that you are paying your current and future taxes on time more so then paying your back taxes.

Once you are in compliance with the IRS by accomplishing those two steps now they will have open ears for a settlement or negotiation.  There are several different options to resolve an IRS debt and Tax Debt Advisors will evaluate each option with you to determine the best outcome possible.

Can the IRS Take My Retirement Money?

Can the IRS Take My Retirement Money?

How To Protect Your Retirement Account From Internal Revenue Service Seizure

If you are wondering whether the IRS can take your 401k, pension or retirement account money, this post should help! Here we discuss why your accounts are at risk in the first place, if the IRS can actually take money from these accounts or not, and what you can do to protect your money.

Why Is The IRS Trying To Levy or Take My 401k, Pension or Retirement Money?

Even though retirement accounts are protected from creditors, the IRS is an exception.  The general rule is that if you can get it the IRS can get it too.

The main reason the IRS would try to levy your 401k, pension or retirement accounts is because you owe back taxes. An IRS levy is basically a seizure of your assets to cover your tax debt. The IRS will usually send a notice and demand for the payment to be made. If you ignore this notice, they will send a final notice of intent to levy which will be issued 30 days in advance before the levy happens. Usually, before they perform the seizure, they will investigate assets you own to see if they have sufficient equity to pay off your back taxes, or else the seizure is prohibited.

The Internal Revenue Service can seize all types of retirement accounts, including IRAs, 401k plans, and other self-employed plans like Keogh plans and SEP-IRAs. There are currently no prohibitions in the IRS code against it.

Many clients come to me who have been forced to live off of their retirement accounts because of being laid off.  When they get the tax bill for the taxes owed and the 10% early distribution penalty, they have no way to pay the amount owed.  If your only source of money is taking distributions from money still available in your retirement accounts, the IRS will expect you to liquidate the account to pay off the taxes.

Can the IRS take My 401k If I Owe Taxes?

Yes, the IRS can take your 401k account if you are eligible to take distributions from it. The IRS cannot take your 401k money if you are restricted from taking money from your account due to plan restrictions or age.

Can the IRS take My pension If I Owe Taxes?

Yes, the IRS can take your pension as it is not a protected asset. They can also take money from Social Security benefits, your bank account and even take your home depending on how much you owe. However, the IRS will usually give you options to pay the money back before performing a levy.

Can the IRS Take My Retirement Money If I Owe Taxes?

Yes, the IRS can take your retirement money if you owe back taxes. Retirement accounts that can be levied by the IRS include:

  • Keogh plans
  • SEP-IRAs (self employement)
  • IRAs
  • Company profit sharing
  • Stock bonus plans
  • Qualified pension plans

How To Defend Your Retirement Accounts

In order to defend your retirement account(s) from Internal Revenue Service seizure is to know that the IRS can only get what you get. More specifically, if you can’t access your retirement money, neither can the IRS. How is this possible?

Many retirement plans deny you access to your retirement funds until you retire, die, become disabled or take a job with another company. Reference IRS Manual 5.11.6.2 for information about government seizures on retirement funds. Also, The IRS cannot force you to terminate your employment.  As long as you stay employed, the IRS cannot have access to your retirement account.  In this case the IRS will look at your wages and other personal assets  to pay your back taxes owed.

However, if you have access to your retirement money, the IRS most likely has access to. Whether they will take money out of that fund depends on whether you conduct leading up to the tax liability was flagrant or not. Conduct deemed flagrant includes, fraud, tax evasion, or making contributions while taxes were not being paid. If you can show the IRS that your conduct wasn’t flagrant or that you depend on that retirement money, IRS manual 5.11.6.2 states that the retirement fund cannot be levied.

The IRS will back off if we can establish that they have no rights to your retirement money. Although, I have seen aggressive IRS officers levy wages, assets, and non-retirement assets, if retirement money is not withdrawn voluntarily.

The Internal revenue service is typically hesitant to take retirement money, and many times they have no rights to your retirement money, but proper negotiation, handling, and knowledge of this process is helpful to defend your precious retirement accounts.

What Do I Do To Keep My 401k, Pension or Retirement Money?

The best way to protect your 401k, pension and retirement money is to setup a payment plan to pay your back taxes. However, if your deliberately didn’t pay taxes, the IRS will seize your money for sure. Although, proving you need the money for living expenses can lower the amount of money they can take.

Don’t Go At It Alone, Stop IRS Levy Today!

Dealing with the IRS can be confusing and frustrating, especially when your retirement money is up for risk. Don’t go at the IRS Alone, Tax Debt Advisors have helped over 108,000 tax payers settle their debt with the IRS. Is the IRS trying to seize one of your retirement accounts?
