Tax debts

The Internal Revenue Service wants to update the regulations governing the sale of a taxpayer's property taken during a levy.

The NAEA is asking the service to resume sending reminder notices immediately to non-filers and those with balances due of more than $10,000.

The service is stopping most unannounced visits to taxpayers' residences and businesses after a rising number of threats has put its employees' safety at risk.

The store faces lawsuits from customers for alleged failure to deliver prepaid wine, is delinquent on $2.8 million in taxes, and reportedly could be evicted from its midtown home.

The Internal Revenue Service has been sending out erroneous balance due notices demanding taxpayers in federal disaster areas pay up, even though they're supposed to get extra time.

The service's alternative dispute resolution programs can be faster and cheaper than the usual appeals process, but their use fell by two-thirds over the past decade.

The service had paused the notices last year while it tried to catch up on its backlog of unprocessed tax returns.

The IRS notified the pharmaceutical giant that it owed $3.6 billion for the 2010-2012, and demanded $5.1 billion more for 2013-2015.

The use of private agencies spiked in 2021 and yet, despite this, they collected only 2.78% of total delinquent tax accounts assigned to them by the IRS.

A system that Congress mandated allowing federal contractors to self-certify they don't owe a significant amount of taxes is enabling many of them to score lucrative contracts while still owing plenty.
