The Problem: While a valid installment agreement was in effect, and in a feat that defied logic, a Revenue Officer twice levied our retail clients’ bank accounts.

The Sullivan Solution: In both instances the levies were promptly released after we demonstrated the client had complied with the terms of the agreement, specifically employment tax deposit requirements, and that the levy’s were unlawful and issued in violation of Collection Due Process procedures. (Case Footnote: As consolation for the improper levy actions the IRS Manager solicited an Offer in Compromise).

The Problem: Sullivan Consulting was retained after the IRS levied our client’s bank account.

The Sullivan Solution: Sullivan Consulting obtained an immediate levy release after filing a Collection Appeal request with the Revenue Officer.  In addition, while reviewing the case history, it was learned that our client took over his former employer’s franchise business to save 15 fellow employees’ jobs.  Sullivan Consulting filed an appeal requesting abatement of penalties due to reasonable cause.  The Revenue Officer conceded the penalties, saving the taxpayer $32,000.
