Notice of Intent to Levy

            A Notice of Intent to Levy does not mean that the IRS is coming to your house this afternoon to start loading your furniture into the back of a government tractor trailer.   In fact, the IRS may never, ever take anything at all.  The Notice of Intent to Levy is just that – “we intend to levy and may do so at some time in the future.”  Or not. 

            Should you ignore a notice of intent to levy?  No.  But you should not panic either.  These things can be worked out and in most cases, they are.  If you have received this notice it is because you have ignored the four previous notices you received asking you to pay your past due tax debt.
