Anyone looking to hire someone? I can weld, work with machines, act like a cretin regarding tax matters, and file baseless lawsuits against my employers.Jesse James wrote:I received a form 668-W(c) in March
I sent a 3 page letter to my payer explaining why it did not apply.
I sent a letter to the Technical Compliance Manager.
I received a nonsense letter about my 2004 1040 when my letter was about 2008 returns and refunds and levy, much like Debra from Georgia.
I also received a nonsense letter in regards to my request for a signed assessment.
I sent a letter to my payer requesting they specifically address the issues in regards to paragraph (a) and (h) of section 6331 or restore me by paying me the money I earned for use of my personally owned skills and time/labor.
I received a letter from my payer's attorney stating my payer does not want to hear from me on the issue again and that I will not persuade my payer from doing what it believes is following the law.
So while all this plays out I pay a $5000.00 civil penalty and live off the vapors I have for savings, take out a hardship payment from my 401K to pay my mortgage.
Last week I thought I was going to get a check with withholding sunk to "0" which sucks but is still better than $359.62 of what my payer thinks is what I get paid since that is the "exempt" amount according to publication 1494. Today I found out that the IRS informed my payer that they were not going to send a "release of levy" and that my payer therefore believes they are obligated to continue the "levy" even though it is clearly paid off. The IRS's reason is they claim I owe for 2008 which the IRS just refuses to acknowledge my return and my payer will do whatever the IRS tells them. Right now it looks like time to sue for me. If I can find a new job it will be time for criminal charges and a lawsuit for my payer.
Anyone need a maintenance man that can weld, has a boilers license, can trouble shoot electronic circuits, and has experience with bagging machines, extruders, large burners, rotary dryers, reactors, oxidizers, presses and more?
Any comments? Any questions? Any answers?
Here, try this thing. I can tell you from experience that it doesn't work.smudge wrote:Click on the "Parallel Authorities" on the right to see who has authority to enforce liens and levys. Hint, it's not the IRS, as if that makes any difference to the IRS. Haven't you heard, they are above the law. I went thru the same thing with my bank, course the bank wasn't about to say no to the IRS, still trying to get my property back form the IRS. Ask the IRS office /person you are dealing with for a copy of the document that authorizes them to enforce the requirements of 27CFR Part 70. All I got was silence.
Good idea. You can get the Taxpayer Advocate to...TranscriptsDontLie wrote:Your's is a truly messed-up situation: according the the IRC, Secs 6331 et seq., the MAXIMUM amount that can be garnished (euphemistically called "levied") from your SS payments is 15%. To get a jump on this, your quickest remedy would be to petition auntie's "Taxpayer Advocate" to have the illegally-garnished amount(s), that means the sum in excess of those 15%, returned to you, pronto. Moreover, auntie was supposed to send you 2 prior notices by certified mail alerting you of her extortion plans and your appeal rights under those circumstances. Did you get those 2 notices? If not, you can and should assert your appeal rights. (Note: In a friend's case I've seen, auntie intentionally mailed them to the wrong address -- don't be surprised about such tricks -- and had auntie backtrack on that levy once that was made known to the TAS).

Oh darn, they won't help you if you use Petey's "my wages aren't wages" argument.Form 911 wrote:The Taxpayer Advocate Service will not consider frivolous arguments raised on this form, such as those listed in Notice 2007-30. Frivolous arguments may include arguments that the income tax is illegal or that the IRS has no authority to assess and collect tax. You can find additional examples of frivolous arguments in Publication 2105, Why do I have to Pay Taxes?. If you use this form to raise frivolous arguments, you may be subject to a penalty of $5,000.
My advise, drop Pete's theory like Petey's future roommate drops the soap, file a legitimate return reporting our income correctly, and you'd be surprised how the big bad IRS will work with you.
