I'm aware that I owe the State of Indiana back taxes as well as the IRS but I have no other debt (credit card, auto, etc).
I am actually a State of Indiana employee and am/was planning to soon file my taxes for the 2015 season.
I have received, as far as I know, nothing in the mail in regards to any immediate action regarding my accounts.
My original plan was to file for 2015, and knowing that I would receive nothing back in regards to federal or state taxes re-inquire as to what is at that point currently owed and move forward from there as surely it would have decreased.
So, I get off work yesterday and swing by the ATM to take out $10 so I could get a bite to eat at a cash only food truck. ATM declined my transaction. Weird, I thought I had a couple hundred in the account still.
I get home to find my balance to be negative $2,500~
It's after banking hours so I am unable to talk to a human about this, so I took a personal day from work today so I could call and get this sorted out. I thought perhaps my card had been skimmed from paying at a pump or something. I get put on hold for about five minutes and when the person returns they tell me that I received a levy from Premiere Credit and was given a number to call. Apparently Premiere Credit is closed today as well. Googling them I see they collect for the Indiana Department of Revenue so I can only assume they've levied my account on behalf of the state.
What are my options here? My paychecks are deposited directly into my account and I was told that the one I am receiving next week will be levied too.
I am now fearful that I could lose my state job, which I love, over this. The tax issues occurred as in independent contractor and not as an employee of the state.
Has anyone here dealt with this? How easy is it to get on a payment plan? I was hoping I'd have more time to resolve this, I wanted to file my taxes for 2015 and re-evaluate what is owed after that was completed. I feel like the timing for this couldn't be any worse.
