Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The IRS has broad collection authority. They can garnish wages, levy bank accounts, file federal tax liens, and seize certain assets if a balance remains unresolved. However, you have rights. With proper representation and a strategic response, many enforcement actions can be paused or released. The key is acting before the situation escalates further.

Owing taxes alone does not automatically mean criminal prosecution. Most tax debt cases are civil matters involving collections, penalties, and interest. Criminal issues typically arise only in cases involving fraud, evasion, or intentional misconduct. If you are unsure about your situation, it is important to seek professional guidance immediately.

Primary residence seizures are rare but legally possible in certain circumstances. More commonly, the IRS may file a federal tax lien against your property. Addressing your case early greatly reduces the risk of severe enforcement action.

There are several legal resolution options that may be available depending on your financial condition, including:

• Installment Agreements
• Offer in Compromise
• Currently Not Collectible status
• Penalty Abatement

Not everyone qualifies for every program. A case evaluation is necessary to determine your realistic options.

 Every case is different. Some levy releases can occur quickly once representation begins. More complex cases such as Offers in Compromise may take several months depending on IRS backlog and documentation requirements. Resolution is a process — not an overnight event — but early action improves outcomes.

An Offer in Compromise is based on your reasonable collection potential — meaning your income, assets, expenses, and future earning ability. Many taxpayers believe they qualify when they do not. Others assume they do not qualify when they actually may. A transcript and financial review are necessary before making that determination.

Fees vary depending on the complexity of your case, number of tax years involved, enforcement status, and scope of work required.

Some taxpayers attempt to negotiate directly with the IRS. However, without a full understanding of transcript analysis, enforcement timelines, collection statutes, and financial standards, mistakes can be costly. In high-balance or enforcement cases, strategic representation is often beneficial.
