Tax Liens Help

A tax lien is defined as a legal claim against property for the satisfaction of a debt. Tax liens can potentially be attached to all of your assets, depending on the total tax amount owed. This form of lien enables the IRS to enforce their claim by administratively levying or seizing your assets outright.

Although it happens everyday in the United States, tax liens are not the normal course of business for the Internal Revenue Service. The fact is, a tax lien is probably one of the ultimate actions the IRS undertakes to collect taxes. The reason is simple: any tax lien the IRS issues comes with tons of pages of paperwork, must define a just cause, and can be challenged through a number of processes created by the IRS themselves.

Then why would IRS bother issuing tax liens at all? It's very simple. Los Angeles Tax Attorneys have many years of experience negotiating with the IRS, and we know that in 90% of all cases, a tax lien is only issued when a taxpayer persistently ignores an IRS representative. In other words, the IRS tax liens only occur when a lack of communication during the collection or auditing process has forced the tax collector to play rough. The motives are understandable, but the consequences may be grave.

It’s obvious that working with the IRS before they seize your property is what every taxpayer should do. Once a tax lien is issued, the IRS is extremely reluctant to modify or release it. And once a lien is enforced, it is very difficult to remove. That is why it’s a great idea to contact Los Angeles Tax Attorneys before the IRS levies your assets. If you have already had your assets levied, our tax lawyers can  provide you with IRS help, as we might be able to get the tax levy removed or subordinated to one of your creditors.
