Increasingly, scammers are conning taxpayers into taking money from their tax-deferred accounts, such as a 401(k). When taxpayers fall victim to these scams, they sometimes face dual implications: their money is stolen, and they must pay tax on all or part of these stolen funds. When a taxpayer withdraws money from a tax-deferred account, the taxpayer and the IRS receive a Form 1099-R, which reports the distribution. Taxpayers must report this income on their tax return unless it is excluded by law.

The IRS mails the Notice of Intent to Levy and Rights to a Hearing to notify taxpayers of their unpaid taxes and the IRS intention to levy to collect the amount owed if the balance is not paid. This letter, which is usually sent by a Revenue Officer, is required by IRC § 6331 before the IRS issues a levy, unless collection is in jeopardy. Taxpayers are generally entitled to a pre-levy hearing under IRC § 6330(f), although there are some exceptions. These exceptions include: if the levied source is a state tax refund, the IRS has issued a disqualified employment tax levy, or the tax debt is that of a federal contractor. For further information, see Publication 594.
