CP-91/CP-298 - Final Notice Before
Levy on Social Security Benefits
What is the notice telling me?
This notice is telling you that we
intend to issue a levy against Social
Security benefits that you are entitled
to because you still have a balance due
on your tax account.
What do I have to do?
Pay the amount due as shown on the
notice. Mail us your payment in the
envelope we sent you. Enclose the
copy of the letter we sent you to make
sure we correctly credit your account.
If you can't pay the whole amount now,
call us at the telephone number provided
on your notice to make alternative
arrangements to satisfy your tax
account. This may include entering
into an installment agreement or
proposing an Offer in Compromise.
How much time do I have?
You should contact us or pay your
balance due immediately. You have 30
days from the date of this notice to
contact us before we issue a levy.
What happens if I don't pay?
If you don't pay or make arrangements
to pay, we will issue a levy against
your Social Security benefits to collect
the money.
Who should I contact?
If you have any questions about the
notice, call us at the telephone number
provided on your notice. The person who
answers the phone will assist you. Do
not call the Social Security
Administration.
What if I don't agree or have
already taken corrective action?
If you do not agree with the
information in this notice, call us
immediately at the telephone number on
your notice. We will do our best to help
you. If you do not agree with the
proposed action, you have the right to
request an appeal under the Collection
Appeals Program (CAP) or you may be
entitled to an Appeals hearing. Your
request must be filed within 30 days of
this notice.
If you called us about this matter
before, but we did not correct the
problem, you may want to contact the
Taxpayer Advocate Service.
If you have already paid or arranged
for an installment agreement, you should
still call us at the telephone number on
your notice to make sure your account
reflects this.
