How do you fill out Form 12153? In this video, I walk through an actual redacted Form 12153 my firm submitted for a client, explain what we put in each section and why, and show the proof of submission.
I'm Logan Allec, CPA and owner of Choice Tax Relief. We cover IRS levy notices, requesting a Collection Due Process hearing, the equivalent-hearing fallback, proposed collection alternatives, signatures, and preparing your case for IRS Appeals. Your facts may call for different choices than this example.

IMPORTANT: Follow the hearing-request deadline and submission instructions on your own notice. Levy and lien deadlines differ. A timely CDP request generally suspends levy action for the periods at issue, subject to exceptions; an equivalent hearing does not provide the same statutory protection. This video is general education, not advice for your specific tax situation. Requesting a hearing or checking a collection-alternative box does not guarantee an approval or outcome.
