Questions
Questions whose answers span several pages. Where one page answers a question, the answer is on that page — not here.
These come from a corpus of real questions, not from keyword variants. Each page names the records its answer draws on, so you can check the working.
Which IRS notices give you Collection Due Process rights?
Not the one most people think. CP504 is not among them.
I missed the 30-day deadline on my levy notice. Have I lost my rights?
You still get a hearing. You lose three things the hearing would otherwise have done.
Is there a 25% limit on IRS wage garnishment?
No. That figure comes from a different law that does not govern IRS levies.
What can the IRS actually do if I do not pay?
Six published things, and they do not all require a warning.
How do I get free help with an IRS tax problem?
Two routes the IRS funds and names on its own notices, and neither costs anything.
Are tax relief companies a scam?
We name no firms and take no referrals. What we can tell you is which claims the IRS contradicts.
Can the IRS take my Social Security?
Yes, up to 15%. And calling Social Security about it will not help.
The IRS took my state tax refund without warning. Is that legal?
Yes, and it is the one levy the law lets the IRS make before offering a hearing.
I have not filed in years. What happens now?
The IRS may file for you. Filing your own returns afterwards can change the tax but not the clock.
Can the IRS take my house?
The IRS lists a home among what a levy can reach. A lien is a different thing and does not take it.
