One of the most aggressive tax collection methods used by the IRS is wage garnishment, which is a form of tax levy. It is a legal way for the IRS to collect from you without you paying them directly. If you have ignored repeated letters and warnings, the IRS will likely contact your employer, who is obligated by law to take a portion of your pay and send it to the IRS, which could leave you little to live on. Wage garnishment is not to be taken lightly. (read more)
Failing to properly file and pay taxes withheld from employees’ wages (“Trust Fund” taxes) is considered stealing and is a very serious matter. The IRS is especially aggressive when it comes to collecting on delinquent payroll taxes. Not only can the IRS go after the company’s assets but, in certain circumstances, it can also go after owners, officers, and specific employees. This means that if you are found to be willfully responsible for the business’s failure to pay payroll taxes, you could be held personally liable and face very stiff fines and possible incarceration.

If you fail to respond to IRS notices to pay a tax debt, the IRS can file a federal tax lien against you, making your life miserable. Federal tax liens are filed with the County Clerk where you live or where your business operates, and because they show up on your credit report, make it difficult or impossible to obtain any type of financing for any purpose. You cannot sell or transfer your property while a tax lien is filed against it, and since you won’t be able to borrow against it, you will not be able to use it to obtain a loan to pay off the back taxes you owe.
Another action the IRS will take to collect back taxes is to levy your accounts and your sources of income. For example, the IRS can seize the cash you have in all your savings and checking accounts by issuing a bank levy, and file a levy with your employer that garnishes up to 80% of your wages, commissions, bonuses, etc., until your debt is paid in full. If you have received notice of a lien or levy, don’t panic, we can help. But don’t delay! (read more)
If you are found by the IRS to owe back taxes, the IRS will calculate penalties and interest on the amount due. These can cause a small delinquent tax debt to compound into an unmanageable amount within a very short period of time. Of the over 140 tax penalties available to the IRS, the most commonly used are failure to file, failure to pay, and fraud. Penalties typically can make up to 25% of the total amount owed, but could be much more depending on the type of penalty assessed and the additional interest that will also be charged. (read more)
Many people experiencing IRS problems also have to deal with the related problem of delinquent state taxes. States have their own taxation laws and collection procedures that are completely separate from the IRS. However, many states actually act on information supplied by the IRS and can be even more forceful in their collection efforts, usually acting to collect more quickly than the IRS. (read more)
Not filing required tax returns can be construed by the IRS as tax evasion, considered a criminal act. This is a very serious matter, punishable by a fine of $10,000 and one year in jail for each year not filed. However, the IRS would much rather get taxpayers back into the system than prosecute the average person who makes a mistake. Regardless of why you have unfiled tax returns, the first step to resolving your tax problem – before the IRS will consider any payment plan or tax settlement offer – is to become compliant by filing all your delinquent tax returns. Although this may seem like an overwhelming task, the professionals at US Tax Shield have extensive experience helping people just like you become IRS compliant, leading to tax debt relief and peace of mind.
