Relief from Tax Liens and Bank Levies
When the IRS issues a tax lien or bank levy, prompt action is important. These collection tools can significantly impact your finances, and delays may result in additional complications.
A federal tax lien is a legal claim against your property that serves as security for your tax debt. While a lien is in place, selling or refinancing affected property becomes difficult. A bank levy allows the IRS to withdraw funds directly from your accounts.
Our Bellingham team works to address these enforcement actions by negotiating with the IRS, establishing payment arrangements, or pursuing other resolution options that may lead to lien withdrawal or levy release.
Representation During IRS Contact
If you’ve received multiple IRS notices or have been contacted by a revenue officer, having professional representation can help manage these interactions. Revenue officers are assigned to collect outstanding tax debts and may contact you at home or work.
Tax professionals can communicate directly with the IRS on your behalf, ensuring that your rights are protected and that all communications follow proper procedures. This representation allows you to focus on your daily responsibilities while your case is being handled.
Offer in Compromise Programs
An Offer in Compromise (OIC) is an agreement between a taxpayer and the IRS that settles tax debt for less than the full amount owed. The IRS considers OIC applications from taxpayers who demonstrate they cannot pay their full tax liability or when doing so would create financial hardship.
Qualification for an OIC depends on multiple factors, including income, expenses, asset equity, and ability to pay. The application process requires detailed financial disclosure and documentation.
It’s important to understand that the information you provide during an OIC application is carefully reviewed by the IRS. Incomplete or inaccurate submissions can result in denial and may affect your case. Our Bellingham professionals can help you evaluate whether an OIC is appropriate for your situation and assist with proper preparation of your application.
