Effective 2006, Title II Levy orders are processed through the automated Tax Levy
System (TAXY), see SM 00833.000 ff. TAXY is a national online system that automates
the IRS Tax Levy process. The system adjusts Title II benefits, issues payment to
IRS as designated in the levy, and issues appropriate notices to the levied beneficiary
and IRS. The Processing Center(s) (PC) can create, update, and query the TAXY system
to process the payment of tax levies. Field Offices (FOs) and Teleservice Centers
(TSCs) can only query the TAXY system (See SM 00833.010 and SM 00833.060 for TAXY
queries).
