TAX LIENS
“Tax Liens are filed by the IRS in the local counties of taxpayers secure the IRS’s interest in the tax debts owed. Liens are attached to your assets, and can make selling (and buying) assets more inconvenient. Liens are public record, which is how a lot of tax companies are able to ‘solicit’ taxpayers. The good news: there are solutions to tax liens!"

If the IRS hasn’t filed any Notices of Federal Tax Lien yet, now is the time to act!
There are more avenues to avoid the filing of tax liens if they haven’t been filed yet. We’ll help you navigate those scenarios.
If Notices of Federal Tax Liens are filed, they’re filed with your local county to secure their interest in any assets you may have. It puts the IRS in a higher position than other creditors. Liens are public record which can make it difficult to buy/sell assets.
The IRS often files liens as a standard procedure, or even as a condition of certain resolutions being formalized with them, such as certain types of Installment Agreements. Once they’re filed, there are fewer options available, but either way, we’ll help you navigate them. Since liens are public record, lenders can often see liens if you’re trying to get a loan. So, while liens can cause quite a headache, they’re still a relatively passive form of collection action (compared to bank account levies and wage garnishments). We’ll help walk you through how to navigate, or even prevent the filing of tax liens.
