If perhaps you have failed to file in a timely manner, you always have the right to file a CAP appeal which is very rarely used in the IRS. Most IRS agents do not know what a CAP appeal actually is. Our company applies this tactic to the IRS a great deal. If the IRS has not actually filed a wage garnishment or levy against the taxpayer, we immediately file a CDP appeal. This takes the case out of the hands of the collection division immediately and puts it into a technical advisor hands. This is very important because a technical advisor is somebody who has been with the IRS for multiple years and will approach things in a more professional manner and truly follow the guidelines required. A CDP appeal also puts the breaks on an agent filing wage garnishments and levies against an individuals social security income and payroll monies who are unable to provide for themselves.
