- Q. Will the government shutdown extend or toll the statute of limitations for the IRS for an due process hearing?

- Q. If the TP denies tax liability, does the IRS always send a final notice-right to hearing notice after the CP-504?
- A: In the usual course, the IRS automated collection system [ACS] will issue either a CP90 or LT11 Final notice of intent to levy with a notice of your right to a collection due process hearing within about 5 weeks after issuance of the CP504. However, I have encountered several situations whereby the final notice does not issue within the predictable time frame. This usually occurs when the account is being transferred from ACS to a local revenue officer. It would be in your best interest to engage the services of a skilled tax attorney to assist you in navigating through the collection mine field.

- A: You are referring to the wildcard exemption of up to $28,225.00. You can use this exemption for any purpose, includin your $2,000.00 vehicle equity. You can then use the remaining wildcard exemption of $26,225.00 as needed. Please note that this is available if you are not using a homestead exemption on a personal residence.
