If the IRS intends to levy…
Jack Evans • November 6, 2019

If you get timely representation, you may get to stall a tax levy.


You have 30 days to respond in a timely manner by filing a form 12153, (Form 12153-Request for a Collection Due Process, (CDP) or Equivalent Hearing).


This form is to request a hearing with the Office of Appeals. You would have received:

• Notice of Federal Tax Lien Filing and Your Right to a Hearing under IRC 6320,

• Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to a Hearing,

• Notice of Jeopardy Levy and Right of Appeal,

• Notice of Levy on Your State Tax Refund,

• Notice of Levy and Notice of Your Right to a Hearing.


If you are after your 30 day response period, the IRS is not required to honor a request for a CDP Hearing, or stop levy action. You have lost the right to petition the Tax Court for your case. The IRS can levy at any time.

What if I don’t file my return and the IRS files an SFR for me?

By Jack Evans • August 13, 2020
An SFR, (Substitute for Return), is what the IRS will file for you if you do not file. It is usually NOT in your favor. If you hear that one has been filed for you by the IRS, you need to act and know all the details. It is past time to get the correct tax return prepared…act now! Know this…once the tax is assessed by a filed return or an SFR…you will get a billing notice and then a series of nasty letters will progress into liens and levies. Do not ignore notices and letters…book an appointment today/yesterday!  https://go.thryv.com/site/JaxTax/online-scheduling?action=mhmx2cfpk9d0b450

Schedule C returns are more likely to be audited than others

By Jack Evans • November 7, 2019
If you have a small business, the current odds of an audit are less than a few years ago, due to IRS staffing. However; a business on a Schedule C return is almost 3 times more likely to be audited…not considering obvious oversights and flag items. S Corp .2% Partnership .2% Individual 0.59% Taxpayers will continue to see more and more automated letters from the IRS. At least that’s how I’d do it.
