A Tax Debt Attorney Is Skilled At Solving Tax Problems

IRS tax problems do not go away on their own. In fact, they only become more of a situation as time keeps going on. Uncle Sam is basically a bill collector. Taxpayers compute their tax liability and then file the tax return. If full payment is not made at the time of the tax filing, the IRS for federal taxes and the Franchise Tax Board for California state income taxes sends a bill and pursues collection. Here is where a tax debt attorney is needed to deal with the IRS and solve the tax problem.

If there are any late payments the IRS adds penalties and interest until the tax debt is fully paid. Taxpayers or their legal representative must move quickly to avoid harsh collection actions. The longer the matter is dragged out the more aggressive the IRS collections actions will be. The IRS has a great deal of power given to get the taxes owed collected.

The IRS will firstly go for assets that can be easily grabbed and converted into cash. This includes:

Bank account levies one notice is served to the bank, the funds are taken out without further notice or your permission and paid to the IRS.

Wage garnishment the IRS sends notices to the taxpayers employer who is then obligated to deduct tax from the pay check and remit it to the government. While an employee can be fired for this, it is certainly an embarrassment to the taxpayer.

Asset seizure and sale at auction this could include automobiles and other assets

Attack a taxpayers retirement funds, social security or pension
