IR-2020-34, February 19, 2020

The IRS Deputy Commissioner addressed the American Bar Association regarding updated tax collection enforcement efforts.

Most notably, the IRS is conducting “HIGH INCOME NON-FILER SWEEPS”. IRS Revenue Officers across the country are conducting in person visits with high-income taxpayers who haven’t filed tax returns. According to the IRS, anyone making more than $100,000 is considered high income.

Additionally, the IRS recently opened a new department, the Office of Fraud Enforcement. This office is responsible for investigating businesses and individuals who are not in compliance with tax returns or payroll taxes.

If you believe this may apply to you, our office is experienced in handling collection and tax strategy matters. Please call 831-454-9415 to set up a consultation.
