Why did the IRS send a Notice of Intent to Levy?

The Internal Revenue Service is required to send a Notice of Intent to Levy prior to any action to collect the unpaid taxes. Bank levies are a powerful collection tool designed by the IRS to get the taxpayer back into the system of voluntary compliance.

 

How Does the IRS get the Levy Source Information?

The tax levy source information comes from you the taxpayer. The IRS has information you provided on your prior tax returns. Taxpayer information comes from interest income from banks accounts, investment accounts, pension and IRA withdrawals reported on your tax returns. This tax information is reported through 1099, Schedule B, Schedule D, Schedule E and K-1 tax reporting. The IRS has information for property you own from the county courthouse records and the state vehicle registration records for automobiles, boats and other vehicles when you registered your ownership.
