Tax Audits, Liens & Levies

At FreeAdvice you can find all of the information and advice you need regarding Tax Enforcement Law. Whether you are required to pay income tax, property tax, estate tax, gift tax, or any other combination of assessments, it is important to understand when and how governing agencies enforce tax laws.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is the government entity tasked with collecting payments from taxpayers on a yearly basis. The IRS is also authorized to impose penalties on individuals who do not meet specific requirements under tax laws. For example, failure to file a tax return on time or failure to pay the taxes due at either the federal and state level can result in significant consequences, even jail time. In addition, if you fail to meet your tax requirements, the IRS has the authority to impose wage garnishment, liens and levies on your property. This means the IRS can take your paycheck, force the sale of your items, or even seize assets to satisfy tax debt. Criminal penalties may be enforced to prevent people from willfully hiding money and assets from the IRS through what’s known as tax evasion.
