I am here looking for help. If anyone has been in a situation similar to mine or could pass along good references, I would appreciate that.

I just recieved a notice from the IRS regrading a levy on my assets. I dont have the money to pay the taxes outright, and I cant get a loan. we cant afford to make another set of payments with my spouses income, and I have a hard time getting a job, because I dont live in the US anymore plus we are still working on my papers. What can I do? This is a real catch 22 for me, and short of going back to the US indefinitely without my partner, I dont see a way out.

Does the letter indicate what they mean by a levy against assets?
