Recommendations
The Director, Civil Enforcement Advice and Support Operations, SB/SE Division, should emphasize in a message to Advisory employees the importance of reviewing all items on Form 13719 and Form 2433, including the taxpayer’s name, for procedural accuracy and legal sufficiency during the pre-seizure review process
The Director, Collection Policy, SB/SE Division, should change the classification code of Personal Residence (PR) seizures to eliminate confusion between Personal Residence seizures and Principal Residence (PRI) seizures in the IRS seizure logs.
