Steps to Take to Protect Yourself From IRS Seizures

A federal tax lien arises when a tax return is filed and the tax isn't paid after a demand for payment has been made. By law, the lien is in favor of the United States and is upon all property and rights to property of the person with the unpaid tax.

It gives the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) the authority to seize any proceeds from sales of real estate owned by a delinquent taxpayer. To protect the government's right of priority against other parties who are owed money by the same person, the IRS will file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien, which puts other creditors on notice about the IRS's claim.

Navigating IRS Seizures

After receiving a notice that a lien has been filed, it is crucial that you work with an expert to help minimize the IRS's actions and ensure that deadlines are met for initiating applicable appeals. When it comes to IRS seized property, there are many strategies that can be used to try to prevent or delay the IRS from seizing personal and business assets.

Understanding the IRS Seizure Process

When the IRS intends to collect unpaid taxes, the enforcement process typically begins with a formal assessment of the tax liability, followed by a series of notices.

If the debt remains unpaid after sufficient notice, the IRS may initiate enforcement actions, including levies and seizures of property.

You may receive a Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to a Hearing (Letter 1058 or LT11) before any seizure occurs. If no resolution is made, the IRS may initiate enforcement actions, including the seizure and sale of the taxpayer's property.

These assets may include bank accounts, wages, real estate, retirement accounts, and other personal or business property.

Protecting Your Bank Accounts from IRS Seizure

When tax debt remains unpaid, the IRS can seize your bank accounts to satisfy unpaid tax debts. Early proactive steps, including negotiating installment agreements or requesting Currently Not Collectible status, can prevent or delay this action.

Our tax attorneys help you understand which bank accounts or personal assets may be exempt and work to protect funds vital for your basic living expenses.

Safeguarding Your Business Assets

The IRS has authority to seize business assets including inventory, equipment, and other business property if tax liabilities are outstanding. Protecting these assets is crucial to keep your business operational.

We assist in asset recovery strategies, negotiate alternative collection methods, and file appeals under the collection appeal program to halt or reverse seizures that would jeopardize your livelihood.

Frequently Asked Questions

What triggers an IRS asset seizure or tax lien?

An IRS asset seizure or tax lien is typically triggered when a tax return is filed, but the tax remains unpaid after the IRS issues demands for payment.
