it sounds like the negotiations didn't go well .
even if they did they cannot just withdraw the money from it. Grounds for a lawsuit. Plus the only reason they did have it was probably due because it was written on a tax form with e-refund.
I wonder if i can negociate my taxes. I have the money, i just don't want to pay it all :P
Exactly.
And if she has the money and they now have it, there isn't anything to negociate.
she does not really her average credit card bill is around 15k plus she has 12k in checks/payments currently going out.
turns out there is a 21 day hold period where the bank basically puts the $$...
Uh...yes they can and they know every account associated with every SS# and EIN, you give it when you open a bank account.
she has to call the irs to take lien off
So a friend of mine was in negotiation with the IRS over some 50k that she owed. the plan was for her to pay it back over 3 years, today she got an email from her company that they sent them a wage...
Why would they do a payment plan if she had the funds?
Just because your friend thought she was negotiating doesn't mean the IRS was. :)
While I don't knowing the particulars of your friends situation, wage garnishment and bank levies by the IRS are...
Many certified letters would have came stating they were going to levy/garnish accounts/wages.
She should call the number on one of those letters, all that stuff happens automatically when...
IRS does not need a judgment. I think you do not understand the collection authority they have.
Sounds like she needs to start negotiating with the other people she owes money to. The IRS has already called "dibs".
first mistake: not paying her taxes
second mistake: giving IRS her bank account number
I agree. This is what probably happened. IRS probably got a judgement entered against her after she did not show up to court.
...because they didnt have it already....
Sounds like a deadbeat to me.
I've always heard 7 years..... which would be 2006.
