Meehan v. Comm'r

United States Tax Court

Decided June 14, 2004No. 219-02LPublishedCited by 12 opinions

Before the effective date of sec. 6330, I.R.C., R served a continuing wage levy on P's employer. After the effective date of sec. 6330, I.R.C., R levied P's severance pay pursuant to the continuing wage levy. Held : P's severance pay constitutes "salary or wages" within the meaning of sec. 6331(e), I.R.C. Because the continuing wage levy was initiated before the effective date of sec. 6330, I.R.C., this Court lacks jurisdiction to review R's levy of P's severance pay.
