IRS Levy

[down&out]

What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania

Can the IRS levy a sole proprietor's customers for his personal income tax?

No. But they can levy his inventory & the customers would have to prove they were the owners of the goods (sales receipts, etc.).

Thank you for your reply.

My husband owns a small business and the IRS has mailed a Notice of Levy, regarding our personal 2003 taxes, directly to his biggest customer. We received a copy of it at home, from the customer.

What should we do? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated?

Talk to a tax attorney or enrolled agent ASAP.
