IRS CP75 Audit + Final Notice of Intent to Levy: $9,193 Due for 2022 EIC/Dependent Claims - Will They Seize Property/Garnish Wages?
Just got a Final Balance Due Reminder - Notice of Intent to Seize (Levy) or Rights to Property from the IRS. They're saying as of January 8, 2020, they haven't received my overdue tax after sending several notices. They're threatening to levy (seize) my property if I don't pay immediately, and they're considering my noncompliance an "active choice." The notice says I owe $9,193.81 immediately for my 2022 taxes, and they're auditing me specifically for EIC and dependent claims. They've given me instructions to pay directly online from my bank account through irs.gov/directpay by selecting "Make a Payment" and entering: - Reason for Payment: Balance Due - Apply Payment To: Income Tax - Form 1040 - Tax Period for Payment: 2022 I need to gather my taxpayer ID number, Form 1040, my filing status, address from the outstanding tax year, and my bank routing number. If they determine I incorrectly claimed EIC or dependents and I truly owe this money back, will they automatically take my 2024 refund? Or will they start garnishing my wages? I'm really stressed about this and need to know what to expect. Can they really seize my property over this? I don't even have $9,193.81 available right now. 😓

IRS auditor here with experience in CP75 notices. These notices indicate the IRS is auditing your earned income credit claim. They won't automatically garnish wages, but they can hold your 2024 refund if the audit isn't resolved. The key is responding quickly with proper documentation - proof of income, residency for qualifying children, and relationship verification. You typically have 30 days to respond. I'd strongly recommend using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) to analyze your documents and get specific guidance on what you need to submit. It can review your CP75, past returns, and supporting docs to give you a clear action plan and timeline estimates.

Tax professional here - they won't immediately garnish wages. First, respond to the audit with requested documentation. If you end up owing, they'll send payment options. Wage garnishment is typically last resort after multiple notices and no response.

Had a similar CP75 audit situation last year - they definitely won't take your wages right away. The IRS has to go through a whole process before garnishment. First they'll send more notices, then offer payment plans. If you do owe the $9,193, they'll likely offset your 2024 refund first before considering wage garnishment. The key is responding to the audit with all your documentation - school records for your kids, proof they lived with you, income verification, etc. Don't let the scary language freak you out too much, just gather your paperwork and respond within 30 days. You got this! 💪
