Everything You Must Know About IRS Seizures

The possibility of the IRS taking your assets to pay off taxes and solve your IRS issues is devastating. If you need assistance, our firm can give you IRS Help to settle your IRS issues.

The IRS will consider taking your assets if you refuse to pay your taxes, aren't willing to find a way to pay your tax debt, or attempts have failed to collect your tax debt.

As a last option, the IRS will seize your assets, if you need to pay a considerable amount in tax debt, and if your back taxes has been there for quite a while, it would have accumulated both interest and penalties. The IRS will determine the value of the properties prior to seizing them.

Assets that can be seized are:

your house
your bank account
your salaries
your life insurance
your collectibles
your pensions, Keoghs, and IRAs
your vehicles, like airplanes, boats, automobiles, and recreational vehicles
your real estate, such as vacation and investment
your stocks and bonds
assets you might have transferred to friends and family

This is just a partial list but it gives you a picture how this action may be devastating to you and your family. You may not have enough funds to make a mortgage or car payment if these properties are tied up.

A hearing has to be allowed before the assets can be seized. This will at least give you time to raise money to pay your tax debt. At this hearing you may bring up important issues including "Is the seizure fair?" or "Can I start an Installment Agreement or Offer in Compromise?"
