FAQ’s
Common Questions on Collection Appeal
What is a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing?
A CDP hearing is a legal right that allows you to challenge a levy or lien before an independent officer. It is the most powerful tool for stopping collections as it pauses the IRS’s ability to seize assets while the appeal is pending.
How much time do I have to file an appeal?
For most CDP notices, you have exactly 30 days from the date of the notice to file a formal appeal. Missing this deadline can result in the loss of your right to go to Tax Court, so immediate action is vital.
Can an appeal stop a wage garnishment?
Yes. Filing a timely appeal can result in a “stay” of collection, which can force the IRS to release a garnishment while we negotiate a formal payment plan or settlement.
What if I defaulted on my current installment agreement?
You have the right to appeal the termination of an installment agreement. We can help you file a CAP appeal to stop the default and renegotiate terms that reflect your current financial ability.
Do I have to meet with the appeals officer in person?
In most cases, we handle the hearing via telephone or written correspondence. As your authorized representative, we manage all discussions so you don’t have to face the IRS directly.
What are the common alternatives to a levy?
Alternatives include an Offer in Compromise to settle for less than you owe, a monthly installment agreement, or “Currently Not Collectible” status if you are facing a temporary hardship.
