I came across what seemed to be a woman posting on her blog about a problem with an IRS levy. She writes:
I used to owe the IRS about 25,000 dollars, that’s with fees and penalties and with no hope of getting the bill down.
What this woman didn’t understand is that the IRS can’t tax our rights. Most people don’t know this though, including IRS agents. She continued:
First we tried monthly payments and that did not work out. Then the IRS levied our pay check from work leaving us with 400 dollars to live on.
This could have never happened if this woman had known about my IRS Terminator package. This woman could have studied up on how to request and win a Collection Due Process Hearing, then requested one, and then all tax collection activity would have come to a halt and the levy would have stopped. The writer continued:
At that time we had seen an ad in the paper for Harrison Grave that will help people get rid of the IRS problems. We went to see them, not knowing that this was not even their official office but a temporary leased office. They told us it would cost total of 2,000 dollars to help us. We were so scared and had no idea what to do, so we accepted and began making payments to them to help us talk to the IRS.
In Houston, Texas on July 12, 2005, Steven T. Miller, Commissioner TE/GE gave a speech to IRS Tax Forums saying the following with my emphasis added:
“I want to salute our partners who have been such a big help at these forums. I want to thank, in alphabetical order, the American Bar Association, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the National Association of Enrolled Agents, the National Association of Tax Professionals, the National Society of Accountants, and the National Society of Tax Professionals.”
“We will try to help you as best we can – by continuing to improve our electronic and information services, updating our computers, and vigorously enforcing the Law against the unscrupulous few who threaten the integrity of your industry.”
This looks like strong evidence that companies like Harrison Grave are really the IRS’s partners in collecting taxes. I wonder how many other organizations like this take money but provide no solution intentionally. The writer continued:
We submitted the information they needed to began the process and after nine month and still did not hear anything from the Harrison and Grave people we called them asking for an update on what was going on. Needless to say they gave us the run around. I even drove to their office in NC to see them and still no results. They took our 2,000 and did nothing for us. When I called them at that time and told them the IRS is Levy our pay check they said “We have a special team working on your case to stop the Levy’s.” That was all a lie. The IRS levied our second pay check… I knew Harrison Grave was a joke…”
Results like this are why people in a situation of having unpaid taxes, unfiled returns, or returns filed under what is considered by the mainstream as an unusual theory of law such as a Cracking the Code return should prepare by studying in advance about how deal with a notice of levy.
