Liens, Wage Garnishment, Bank Levies and Property Seizures
The
three most aggressive forms of IRS collection activity are:
1.Filing Tax
Liens
2.Wage Garnishments and Bank Levies
3.Property Seizures.
LIENS
These tax liens
are a public record stating that you owe various taxes. They are filed with the
County Clerk from which you or your business operates. These liens often make it
impossible to: purchase a home, retain various employment, even buy a car.
WAGE GARNISHMENTS AND BANK LEVIES
An IRS levy is the actual action taken by the IRS to collect taxes. For
example, the IRS can issue a bank levy to obtain your cash in savings and
checking accounts. Or the IRS can levy your wages or accounts receivable.
A common call to us is for emergency help with a garnishment. Our
professionals staff understands how important a regular paycheck is to our
clients and their families. Upon being retained, our tax attorneys immediately
contact the IRS and negotiate by:
1.Offering up livable
voluntary payment plan.
2.Lowering the garnishment to an amount
that's easily affordable.
3.Placing a client in immediate
"Uncollectable Status" in which case NO money is collected by the IRS
for a designated period of time.
But, this is only a temporary
solution. Our consultants will follow up by developing a long-term
strategy for dealing with your tax debt, often this means filing an
offer in compromise for our clients.
SEIZURES
The IRS has broad powers when it
comes to seizure of assets. These powers allow them to seize personal
and business assets to pay off outstanding tax liabilities. Taxpayers
usually have been avoiding the IRS before the IRS actually resorts to
seizure activity. The IRS attempts to collect amounts owed to them and a
seizure is the ultimate act in their collection efforts. This is the
highest level of IRS collection and is handled by our staff with
immediate attention and resolution.
