IRS PUBLICATION 594

A document that explains the steps the agency may do to collect a taxpayer’s outstanding balance. Published by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), it is normally sent along with the final tax bill if the individual is overdue, owes interest or has a penalty. Should any of that happen, the IRS can take necessary actions including calling the taxpayer by phone, designating a revenue officer to resolve an outstanding balance, or executing collection either through levies, liens, liquidation, or seizures.
