Are IRS collections making your life miserable?
Have you received a letter or notice from the IRS? As you probably already know, these letters and notices are sometimes hard to understand and contain very short response deadlines, even as short as one day. If you’re late in responding, the consequences can be devastating. For instance, you might lose your right to contest the IRS’s action. Or worse – lose your home.
If there is an IRS employee who is specifically tasked with handling your file, you will be informed of his or her name, employee type and what the individual is capable of doing to you.
IRS notices and letters involve some of the following tax problems:
- Delinquent tax returns and late tax payments
- Formal notice of taxes you owe (Statutory Notice of Deficiency)
- IRS Lien (Notice of Federal Tax Lien)
- Seizure and Sale of your assets (Notice of Intent to Levy)
Delinquent tax returns and late tax payments – The longer you wait to file your tax returns and pay your taxes, the more serious your IRS problem becomes. The resulting penalties and interest increase each day and your initial tax debt could triple within a short period of time.
Statutory Notice of Deficiency – This is a formal document issued by the IRS that states how much you owe Uncle Sam. It gives you a limited time to respond. If you miss the deadline, you could lose your right to contest the assessed tax liability.
IRS Liens – When the IRS files a lien, it hurts your credit and is a negative mark against your real estate or business.
IRS Levy – The one notice that you should never ignore is the IRS’s Notice of Intent to Levy. If you don’t react properly to this notice, the IRS collections team could seize your wages, bank account, automobile or your home. This is potentially the IRS’s most powerful tool, and they’re not afraid to use it.
