Triggering and Tolling 21 Day Tax Levy Objection
What triggers the 21-day period to object, and can this period be tolled? There were two levies on my checking account for the past-due income taxes of someone else. My first actual knowledge was three days ago. One levy was attached outside, but the second within, the 21 days for objection. What forms need to be filed to object, and who should submit them (me or the person who is liable for the taxes)?

Re: Triggering and Tolling 21 Day Tax Levy Objection
As usual with the IRS, it is a more complicated than it should be to resolve this problem. The first thing you should do is look at who the levy is directed to. If it is not you, the bank should not release the money. If your name is on the levy, you should get your transcripts for the years in question to see why they are levying you. Then, call the Collections Department to try to get it straightened out. If the person who owes the money can also be on the line, that would help. If you can not get the levy released, file a Form 911 with the Taxpayer Advocate's Office. Call me if you want me to help. I am an attorney in Miami. Steven Klitzner 18002191118
