Dealing with an IRS Tax Lien
Owing money to the IRS can result in a federal tax lien, giving the government a legal claim to your property. A tax lien is serious, but there are steps you can take to resolve it.
How a Tax Lien Happens
Before filing a tax lien, the IRS will:
Assess your tax debt
Send a bill outlining the amount owed
Issue a Notice and Demand for Payment if payment is not received
If you still fail to respond, the IRS may file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien, which can affect you in several ways:
It may appear on your credit report, limiting your ability to obtain loans or credit
It attaches to both current and future assets until the debt is fully paid
It is not automatically discharged in bankruptcy
Why You Should Act Quickly
Don’t ignore a tax lien notice. The longer you wait, the more difficult it can be to remove the lien or limit its effects.

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.
