Plain-English summary

An IRS attorney advised that a note in Internal Revenue Manual section 5.11.3.3(3) appeared to be obsolete. The memo states that the delegation of authority to approve jeopardy levies is instead found in Chief Counsel Directives Manual section 30.3.2.4.3.1(3)j and Division Order 2009-03. The document is a short internal guidance note and does not decide a taxpayer-specific levy dispute.
