Owing Back Taxes to the IRS
Owing back taxes to the IRS can happen for a variety of reasons, including:
- Failing to make estimated quarterly income tax payments—or underpaying—if you’re self-employed
- Not filing tax returns for one or more previous years
- Claiming exemptions you weren’t entitled to or making mathematical errors on your return, which may reduce the amount owed or inflate your refund
- Miscalculating payroll tax deposits or missing payment deadlines as a small business owner
While many of these issues stem from honest mistakes or a lack of awareness, the IRS does not accept these as valid excuses for non-payment.
How to Determine What You Owe
If you’ve been notified of a delinquent tax obligation, you’ll need to:
- Request a Record of Account from the IRS (allow about two weeks for processing)
- Complete Form 4506-T to request a transcript of prior tax returns

The process to qualify for a tax debt settlement is dependent on your personal financial situation. To find out if you qualify, schedule a complimentary consultation with one of our tax consultants, and be prepared to answer questions regarding your monthly income and expenses, additional assets to your name, and your total tax liability.
The Fresh Start program, also known as the Offer in Compromise, allows a taxpayer to settle their tax debt for a portion of the full amount owed when proven that the taxpayer is experiencing a financial hardship. If accepted, the Offer eliminates all outstanding balances with the IRS and releases any potential liens placed against the taxpayer.
While both are collection tools used by the IRS, a tax lien and a tax levy are not interchangeable terms. A lien is a claim to a taxpayer’s property due to a tax debt, while a levy is the actual action of seizing a taxpayer’s property.
Without protection in place, the IRS is legally allowed to seize your property or wages due to an unpaid tax liability.
