Placed levy on bank accountsmistakenlypenalizes Christine O'Donnell a second time [WASHINGTONTIMES] Adding to the long-running saga of IRS ...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies... dealings with conservatives, former Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell says the tax agency punished her mistakenly for the second time in five years by imposing an erroneous levy on her bank accounts. Ms. O'Donnell told The Washington Times that she discovered the levy when she couldn't access her checking account as she was preparing to visit relatives over Thanksgiving. "The day before I was heading out of town for the Thanksgiving weekend, my bank told me the IRS had frozen my accounts. They didn't give me a reason why, just a phone number to call," Ms. O'Donnell said in an interview this week. She said she called the Internal Revenue Service and was told the agency had concluded she owed $30,000 in taxes from a 2008 house transaction, which was long ago accounted for on her federal returns. She said she implored the agency to check her tax records and eventually was told the levy was generated in error and her accounts would be freed up. Although IRS officials removed the levy, they first withdrew all the funds from her account. They said that, too, was in error and the funds would be returned to her. The funds have not been replaced, Ms. O'Donnell said. Ms. O'Donnell, who writes a column for the online Washington Times Communities, says her only current matter pending with the IRS is that she filed for an extension to pay her 2013 taxes but that the levy had nothing to do with that filing.
