Testimonials

  • Six years is a LONG time not to pay taxes, and I knew better. I just thought that if I filed some years without paying then the IRS was going to come after me.
  • The fact that I found you on the radio is a true testament to the fact that there is a God who watches over us...
  • When it comes to IRS representation, there are the men and there are the boys, and Travis Watkins is "the man" if you have witholding issues...
  • I visited with another lawyer before I came to see Travis Watkins. I got this heavy salesman feeling, like I just walked on a car lot...
  • I was recommended to Travis Watkins by my son, Michael, an excellent attorney himself in OKC...
  • I hired another firm before hiring the Law Office of Travis Watkins. Big mistake...

A: The IRS must jump through 3 procedural hoops before a levy may lawfully issue. 

1. The IRS must first assess the tax and issue a tax bill and "Notice and Demand for Payment;" 

2. The IRS must will issue a "Notice of Intent to Levy" (this is not to be confused with the 3rd document, below);

3. The IRS must issue a "Final Notice of Intent to Levy."  This document is the one to really pay attention to.  It defines certain procedural rights the taxpayer has before a levy will issue, including the right to a Collection Due Process Hearing (or CDP).  A taxpayer must request a CDP within 30 days of the notice to stop a levy from issuing.

If you have received any of the above notices, time is of the essence.  You need to talk to a licensed lawyer in your area who deals with the IRS every day.  Call OKC lawyer for taxes, Travis Watkins, at 405-607-1192, before it's too late!
