Eric GreenHOST
I looked in the Internal Revenue Manual.
Eric GreenHOST
I see nothing about this.
Eric GreenHOST
What is your source for this? As you can guess, it was an attorney.
Logan AllecHOST
Now that doesn't mean that automatically if you owe $10,000 or more to the IRS that it is going to file a Notice of Federal Tax Claim.
Logan AllecHOST
As a matter of fact, a lot of the language, not a lot, but when you're looking at Notice of Federal Tax Claim language in the Internal Revenue Manual, it talks a lot about whether a Notice of Federal Tax Claim determination has to be made.
Logan AllecHOST
So they do think through it at the IRS typically before they issue a Notice of Federal Tax Lien.
Logan AllecHOST
So that means that somebody at the IRS has looked at your case file and determined that a Notice of Federal Tax Lien is appropriate in your case.
Joe BanisterGUEST
I mean, that was one of the super eye-opening moments where I was challenged in many ways.
Joe BanisterGUEST
But, well, hey, if you look at the IRS's own manual, it's called the Internal Revenue Manual, or IRM is the acronym, you'll find that the IRS admits to their limited jurisdiction and authority.
Joe BanisterGUEST
Right.
Joe BanisterGUEST

Daniel HuffCORRESPONDENT
So the statute generally provides the governor must, uh, submit a written request to Treasury Secretary, and then the secretary either, uh, accepts it or rejects it.
Daniel HuffCORRESPONDENT
S- but what about all the in-between? So the IRS has laid out the process, uh, in the Internal Revenue Manual or the IRM.
Daniel HuffCORRESPONDENT
Um, the IRM is linked on the slide there.
Daniel HuffCORRESPONDENT
So the request should include all the info i- in that IRM section, such as, what are the affected areas? Is it counties? Is it the entire state? Um, what's the length of the relief requested? That second IRM, uh, section on there has a chart that the IRS will be using for disaster relief deadlines.

Justin YarnellGUEST
Um, that would save a lot of money, a lot of heartache for, for everyone.
Justin YarnellGUEST
Uh, so the IRS has, uh, the IRM, it's the internal revenue manual that kind of, um, you know, is the IRS agent playbook for how to conduct an audit or how to handle a particular, uh, you know, penalty abatement or the appeal process, or, I mean, everything is laid out in the IRM.
Justin YarnellGUEST
Um, a lot of it is, is simply procedure written by the IRS and is not law.
Justin YarnellGUEST
Okay.
