In response to the final notice of intent to levy
and notice of the right to a hearing, petitioner filed
a timely request for a collection due process hearing
(CDP hearing) on Internal Revenue Service Form 12153.
Associated with petitioner’s request is a letter from
petitioner which states as follows:
During the past 33 years of my life I was
addicted to mood altering substances, various
times of which I have held jobs due to my
chemical dependency I did not keep them long.
During this process I did not pay the taxes I
should have. I have lost everything my house,
my car I have nothing at this moment--I checked
into an intensive treatment center “Somes” So
That Others may Eat--for the last 4 months, I am
currently in the aftercare program to prepare me
for school and job placement. Attached is a
letter from the treatment program in addition to
the IRS Request Form No. 12153. I would like to
request a deferred payment plan be established
upon my returning to work. I would like to
request that you not place this on my credit
record as this would hinder me from obtaining
gainful employment.
In response to petitioner’s request for a CDP hearing,
the Appeals officer who was assigned to petitioner’s case
sent a letter to petitioner in which she outlined the
Internal Revenue Code provisions dealing with due process
for collections, she explained the collection alternatives
that are generally available, and she scheduled a hearing
