By reading this article, you will understand the tax levy process and how to get professional business IRS levy help in NYC.

For more than eighteen years we have lived with the possibility of the State attempting to collect what we knew to be impossible and unreasonable taxes on a business over which we had no direct control. But we did not know where or to whom to turn, until a good friend recommended you as an expert in this field. We cannot thank you enough for what you have done to relieve us of this enormous burden. Somehow you figured out the solution, worked some tax magic, and this huge problem is gone.

We truly appreciate the incredible job you did for us and will be proud to recommend your services to all our friends and associates.

From the first time I met you I knew you and your company were the right choice to help me with my IRS problem. You were very knowledgeable about the workings of the IRS and knew the right course of action to take.

As time went by – (unlike the “other” company I tried to work with…) you did everything you said you were going to do – and real results began to materialize.

As you know – this past year was very hard on me financially. I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I really appreciate how patient you and your organization have been; I could not have gone through this without your help.

I know we will be continuing to work together in the future. I would be happy to recommend you, Robert, and Tax Help Associates to anyone who is having problems with the IRS and don’t know where to turn. I can only wish you and your company all the best.

~ Michael B., New York

I truly appreciate your doggedness in pursuit of clearing up my matter with the IRS. Your perseverance and that of your staff to resolve my matter with the IRS is commendable.

I want to offer my sincerest thanks to you for your fine efforts and your professionalism throughout this ordeal for me. I just can’t believe that this is finally over! I hope that I will never need your services again only because dealing with the IRS is never pleasant nor businesslike on their part. However, should I, through some misfortune become entangled in their web, I will without a doubt contact you and your firm for your able and very professional assistance. Thank you once again to you and your staff.

~ David W., New York

I want to thank you very much for all your help in obtaining my Offer in Compromise. I never could have done this on my own. Your expertise made this process move along quickly and seemingly effortlessly. I really feel relieved and can now go to my mailbox without any anxiety.

~ Michael T., New York

We would like to take the opportunity to thank you for everything you have done for us with regards to dealing with the IRS. It was the best decision we made. If we ever have any other problem with the IRS, you would be the first person we would call. Again thank you so much.

As a practicing Doctor of Chiropractic, I get paid from individual insurance companies, and [I received] thirty-two letters: liens placed against companies who paid me, and another lien against my checking account.

My panic was eased when Mr. Dombrowski told me this was serious but avoidable. In short, the gravity of my situation, and my inability to get proper help until that time had me at a crossroad.

Over the course of the next two and a half years, my insurmountable, over $200,000 debt was being debated and my path of correction and responsibility mended. I would not have my practice or my belongings if it were not for Mr. Dombrowski and Tax Help Associates. Thanks is not enough. I owe these people, because I still have a career, a family, and a future. I would refer anyone who needs professional tax help to them as they have proven their worth to me. They corrected a very bad situation and turned it into a positive life experience.

I had the pleasure of dealing with Ms. Kendall regarding a tax matter and found her professionalism, knowledge of the code and system and proactive attitude to be calming and very, very effective. Many thanks to her and her team.

~ Donnie R., Colorado

I started my business in 2014 and had never been good at keeping track of my expenses.The True Resolve team came in and helped get my bookkeeping caught up and back on track. They now continue to help me keep things caught up so I can plan for my business better. This has been an invaluable service that I will continue to use for as long as I have my business.

~ Erik S., Colorado

I was facing an audit on my business and my personal taxes by the IRS. The accountant who had prepared my taxes was not answering my calls and a friend of mine told me to contact Amanda Kendall. Amanda was very helpful in helping me understand the process I would be facing and what this would entail as well as how long it would take to complete the audits and get a determination from the IRS. My accountant had made some mistakes and Amanda was quick to point those out and tell me what that would mean for me in the audit. It turned out one of the mistakes was in my favor and almost helped offset the ones that weren’t. By the time the audit was over it was almost exactly what Amanda had prepared me for.

~ Sarah G, Colorado

I enjoyed having someone to reach out to as we transitioned from our previous CPA firm. Looking forward to ongoing monthly support as well.

~ Ed G., Colorado

I felt that my taxes were done not only quickly, but I am confident that they are done correctly. Amanda and the True Resolve Team are very knowledgeable and professional.

~ James G., Colorado

The whole True Resolve team were amazing at answering my questions in a very timely manner. I was dealing with a Revenue Officer who wasn’t being very helpful. After hiring True Resolve I never had to directly deal with the Revenue Officer again and they handled everything from there and got me an affordable payment plan and were even able to reduce what I owed the IRS.

What is a Business Levy?

A business levy is a legal procedure the IRS and local governments use to collect the debt you owe.

The IRS only takes action if you ignore the notices including, a ‘notice and demand for payment’ and a ‘final notice of intent to levy,’ and you’ve failed to make arrangements to repay your tax debt. The IRS uses common strategies such as:

Bank Levy – The IRS can require your bank to freeze your business account (could be money for rent, expenses or payroll) for 21 days and then the bank must forward the funds you owe to the IRS.
- Note: You have 21 days to resolve your tax problems. Once the time has elapsed, and the funds are sent to the IRS, your chances of recovering it reduce significantly

Accounts Receivable Levy – The IRS will send letters to your customers, instructing them to divert their payments to them directly instead of paying your business. This can significantly taint your company’s reputation and affect your income. Also, your customers may continue paying even after the tax authority removes the levy since they don’t have an updated status.

Seizure of Assets and Property – The federal tax agency can seize your company’s assets such as the business investment accounts, credit lines and cash value, company equipment and cars, etc.

IRS Tax Levy vs. IRS Tax Lien

Levy and lien are collections the IRS uses to recoup the amount owed by taxpayers. In the case of an IRS tax lien, the federal agency has a claim on your property. An IRS tax levy, on the other hand, is the actual seizing of your property. It is highly advised that you seek professional business IRS levy help in NYC to navigate the process to best preserve your assets and square away your debt owed to the IRS.

8 Options to Prevent or Stop an IRS Tax Levy

If you’ve received notices from the IRS about your debt, you can act fast and avoid the tax levies. If the levy is already in place, you can get the IRS to lift it if you know what to do. Here are some of the common options of preventing or removing a business IRS tax levy in New York:

1. Pay in Full or Request an Installment Payment

Paying your debt in full is the easiest way to avoid a levy. If you’re unable to pay the debt in full, you can contact the federal agency and request for an installment agreement.

If your application is approved, you’ll pay your tax debt in installments. The IRS still levies your property; they will only relinquish their claim until you repay the amount you owe in full.

2. Settle the Tax Debt for Less than the Full Amount You Owe

An offer in compromise (OIC) allows you to resolve the debt for less than what you owe. However, the tax authority has to accept your arrangement.

3. Filing an Appeal

As a taxpayer, you have up to 30 days from the date of a notice to act. Once you have made a formal appeal, the tax authority will not levy your property or assets until a decision is made regarding your current situation.

You’ll appeal by filling and submitting IRS form 9423. The IRS may reverse its decision if it results in difficult financial situations.

4. Certain Debts Are Not Legally Enforceable

The statute of limitations states the tax authority has 10 years to collect the tax you owe. Once the time has elapsed, the amount is absolved. This argument can help you get the IRS to reverse the levy, and you’ll not have to repay if your debt falls outside of the statute of limitations.

5. Negotiating for Lower Penalties

The added IRS penalties on your back taxes can quickly increase the debt amount. Luckily, the IRS can abate or forgive penalties through its various IRS penalty abatement programs.

6. Extension of Time to Pay Back Taxes

If you can’t pay in full right now and you need additional time to pay, you should request a one-time payment extension. It allows you to pay your back taxes in full within 120 days though the penalties and interest still accrue until the total amount is paid.

7. Qualify for Currently Not Collectible

If you show the IRS that you’ve little or no money left after paying the essential business expenses such as rent, payroll, and supplies, you may qualify for a deferral. In this case, you are placed in Currently Not Collectible (CNC), the tax authority holds off from collecting the debt.

8. Filing Bankruptcy

If you owe the IRS and you see no option of paying back taxes, filing for bankruptcy can be a feasible option. Even if you file for bankruptcy, some of the federal agency may not wipe out the tax you.
