H&A Obtains Release of Wrongful Levy by IRS
By Joe Nagel, Esq., LLM, CPA
In this case, taxpayers had a 1.5 million dollar lien against them individually for past due personal income taxes and penalties. Taxpayers owned a limited liability company which ran an operating business. The IRS attempted to place a levy on the limited liability company’s bank account to satisfy the lien. The levy would have catastrophic consequences for the operating business and the livelihoods of those who work for or do business with the company, including taxpayers. H&A prepared a request for removal of the wrongful levy, which was eventually accepted by the IRS. Thanks to the efforts of our team, the limited liability company was able to continue operations, and those affiliated with the company were largely unaffected.
