CP-91/CP-298 - Final Notice Before Levy on Social
Security Benefits
What is the notice telling me?
This notice is telling you that we
intend to issue a levy against Social Security benefits that you are
entitled to because you still have a balance due on your tax account.
What do I have to do?
Pay the amount due as shown on the
notice. Mail us your payment in the envelope we sent you. If you can't
pay the whole amount now, call us at the telephone number provided on
your notice to make alternative arrangements to satisfy your tax
account.
If you can't pay the whole amount now,
call us at 1-800-829-7650 to make alternative arrangements to satisfy
your tax account. This may include entering into an installment
agreement or proposing an Offer in Compromise.
How much time do I have?
You should contact us or pay your
balance due immediately. You have 30 days from the date of this notice
to contact us before we issue a levy.
What happens if I don't pay?
If you don't pay or make arrangements to
pay, we will issue a levy against your Social Security benefits to
collect the money.
Who should I contact?
If you have any questions about the
notice, call us at the telephone number provided on your notice. The
person who answers the phone will assist you. Do not call the Social
Security Administration.
What if I don't agree or have already
taken corrective action?
If you do not agree with the information
in this notice, call us immediately at the telephone number on your
notice. We will do our best to help you. If you do not agree with the
proposed action, you have the right to request an appeal under the
Collection Appeals Program (CAP) or you may be entitled to an Appeals
hearing. Your request must be filed within 30 days of this notice.
If you called us about this matter
before, but we did not correct the problem, you may want to contact the
Taxpayer Advocate Service.
If you have already paid or arranged for
an installment agreement, you should still call us at the telephone
number on your notice to make sure your account reflects this. |
