notice of levy, below “Name and Address of Taxpayer”, Mr.
Washington’s name and address were typed in and crossed out, and
petitioner’s name and address were inserted. Of the total amount
sought, $400.06 of unpaid tax and $4,810.88 of statutory additions
related to 1989. The remaining $3,214.18 related to 1991. Again,
petitioner was instructed to complete the notice of levy and was
informed that failure to do so would result in her receiving a
biweekly check of $240.38 and the remainder (approximately $400)
being forwarded to the IRS.
Petitioner again met with Revenue Officer Whalen. In a letter
to Revenue Officer Whalen, dated March 13, 1999, petitioner
submitted the information that Revenue Office Whalen had requested
at their prior meeting. In the letter, petitioner stated:
As I stated in our last meeting and letters that I have
sent certified to you and the Problem Resolutions Officer
I CANNOT afford my pay to be garnished for over $400.00
every 2 weeks.
A payment of $240.38 every two weeks is not feasible for
myself and my 2 children to live on. This deduction
would cause a serious hardship financially on me. I have
cooperated as much as I could and told you I wasn’t
responsible for the amount being owed.
I have filed my taxes faithfully every year only to have
my taxes taken for something I was not responsible for.
I feel that this is not fair or should be my
responsibility.
Again, if you need anymore additional information, I
would be more than happy to help you out. My status has
not changed from the last time we have met.
Again, please don’t garnish my check because this is the
only income my family and I have to survive on.
