IRS Collection Due Process Procedures

Due process is, according to Black’s Law Dictionary, “a course of legal proceedings … which have been established … for the enforcement and protection of private rights.” Anyone facing an IRS federal tax lien or levy has already experienced the preliminary due process following the IRS determination that more taxes are owed.   Due process involves a series of written or telephone notifications, and it’s all laid out in the tax code and the IRS letters the taxpayer receives in the mail that should definitely not be ignored. Before the IRS wrecking ball goes into motion, the taxpayer has certain procedural rights. In this presentation, I will discuss them in detail.
