The IRS levied my Bank Account and withdrew all my $ without proper written notice?

Are you saying that you never received a formal notice of intent to levy? That would be highly unusual. Call the IRS and ask them to fax you a copy. If you (or your P of A) did receive the notice then the levy is proper. If you did not receive the notice, contact the Taxpayer Advocate's office immediately at 1-877-777-4778. FYI, while an OIC is pending the IRS will continue with collection actions. They have up to 2 years to consider your offer.

If your POA is not helping you, get a new POA. When they send you the final notice (L11 or L1058), there is a form to protest the assessment. After 30 days, your rights to a CDP (collection due process) hearing have passed. Note: they don't need to guarantee that you received it, just need to send it certified to the last known address. Or they can drop it at your door or place of business. Sending this gives the IRS rights to levy; it is the "fair warning" letter. (There is a remote chance that they didn't do the letter; I have never seen it, but I guess it is possible. Then it may be an illegal levy, but even then, in some type of circumstances, the levy may be legal.) If the IRS person as a copy of the certified receipt, or the returned envelope, you are way out of luck. The other thing you can do is talk to the IRS person and try to convince him to release the levy. It is their option; they don't have to. You can also request a meeting with their manager, or a CAP meeting (collection appeal process). However, many managers are more gung-ho on collection that the revenue agent/officer is. If there is a hardship, eventually you will need to fill out a 433-A or similar with documentation to convince the IRS person that there is a hardship. Also there is Taxpayer Advocate http://www.irs.gov/advocate/article/0,,id=97402,00.html but if time is of the essence, a direct call to the agent/officer in charge may be the only way. Edit: You received the "final notice." No, they don't legally need to notify you again. It is their policy to re-notify (on a different letter, not a final notice) if the last notice or levy is more than six months ago, but this is a policy, not a legal requirement.

IRS must send a letter entitled "Notice of Intent to Levy and Your Right to a Hearing" by certified mail at least 30 days prior to issuing a levy on a bank account or anything else. You do not need to receive this letter so if you didn't pick up certified mail you were given proper notice and, for whatever reason, did nothing. IRS will note its records as to when the letter was mailed and if it was delivered or returned unclaimed. This is normal routine for IRS so it is highly unlikely that the letter was not sent. If IRS spoke with your representative in December they will have a record of the date, the person they spoke with and the employee number of the IRS employee who took the call. You, or someone acting on your behalf needs to call IRS before the 21 days are up to explain the situation including the fact that you are unemployed and that not releasing the levy will cause an unreasonable hardship.

You must not have heard of Roni Deutch. She's on the Internet. Give her a call.

good luck getting money back from the irs they are a ruthless bunch

thanks, you make my irs problems seem alot better, good luck.....

oh wow.. what a bad situation.. sorry that this is happening... all i can say is that i know the government can, if you owe them money, do whatever they want to get it. put holds on all your assets, etc.. and just go in and take the money if they like. now i'm not sure the details with what your talking about in having conversations but it sounds like you have a bad deal with your power of attorney as well. i'd reconsider who your using. i'd keep trying to get thru to the IRS and see what they can do. good luck.
