Friday Tax Tip: Here are a few details about what a taxpayer's right to privacy means: - The IRS cannot seize certain personal items, such as schoolbooks, clothing and undelivered mail. - The IRS cannot seize a personal residence without first getting court approval, and the agency must show there is no reasonable alternative for collecting the tax debt. - Sometimes, taxpayers submit offers to settle their tax debt that relate only to how much they owe. This is formally known as a Doubt as to Liability - Offer in Compromise. Taxpayers who make this offer do not need to submit any financial documentation. - During an audit, if the IRS finds no reasonable indication that a taxpayer has no unreported income, the agency will not seek intrusive and extraneous information about the taxpayer's lifestyle. - A taxpayer can expect that the IRS's collection actions are no more intrusive than necessary. During a collection due process hearing, the Office of Appeals must balance that expectation with the IRS's proposed collection action and the overall need for efficient tax collection.
