II. Section 6330
Section 6330(a) provides that no levy may be made on any
property or right to property of any person unless the Secretary
has notified such person in writing of the right to a hearing
before the levy is made. If the person makes a request for a
hearing, a hearing shall be held before an impartial officer or
employee of the Service’s Office of Appeals. Sec. 6330(b)(1),
(3). At the hearing, a taxpayer may raise any relevant issue,
including appropriate spousal defenses, challenges to the
appropriateness of the collection action, and collection
alternatives. Sec. 6330(c)(2)(A). A taxpayer may contest the
existence or amount of the underlying tax liability at the
hearing if the taxpayer did not receive a notice of deficiency
for the tax liability in question or did not otherwise have an
earlier opportunity to dispute the tax liability. Sec.
6330(c)(2)(B); see also Sego v. Commissioner, 114 T.C. 604, 609
(2000).
