I focus my practice on tax resolution, representing taxpayers in Colorado, Florida, and across the United States. If you owe taxes to the IRS and are unable to pay, you may be concerned that they will seize your home and assets. While the IRS does have the power to seize property to satisfy a tax debt, it is important to note that this is not something that happens without warning.
The IRS would generally only consider seizing a taxpayer's property as a last resort. Before taking such a drastic step, the IRS would typically send multiple written notices and give the taxpayer opportunities to make … (2 comments)

installment agreement: Boulder, CO: The IRS Filed a Federal Tax Lien By Mistake - Now What? - 01/28/20 02:36 PM
I focus my practice on tax resolution, representing taxpayers in Colorado, Florida, Texas, New York, California and elsewhere. Recently I had a client who owed less than $50,000 and wanted to set up an installment agreement, but also wanted to avoid getting hit with a tax lien filing.

After properly setting up the agreement, we all thought it was a done deal. I was told by the IRS agent that the client would receive … (1 comments)

I focus my practice on tax resolution, representing taxpayers in Colorado, Florida, Texas, New York, California and elsewhere.

There are several collection alternatives to resolve your situation such as an installment … (2 comments)
