IRS Tax Lien Help: Understanding Tax Liens

A federal lien from the IRS is a legal claim on your property and assets which can affect your credit long-term. If you find yourself being served with a tax lien from the IRS, be sure to seek expert IRS tax lien help from the best tax resolution agents in New York at True Resolve Tax.

What is an IRS Tax Lien?

You can acquire an IRS tax lien when you owe back taxes that have gone unpaid and this is the IRS’ way of ensuring that you pay back your debt in a timely fashion. The IRS considers this protection of debt option when they impose or file a Federal Tax Lien against your property and assets. This legal claim against your New York area property is filed via a public document known as a Notice of Federal Tax Lien.

While many people think liens as like a levy, they are distinctly different. An IRS levy is a different and more extreme legal step they will make which seizes or takes your property and assets to repay your debt. Instead of a direct force action like a levy, a lien uses your property, including real estate, personal property and financial assets as collateral. A federal lien is information that is available to the public and it includes the full amount that you owe the IRS. In most lien situations, a lien happens when you receive a Demand for Payment and then fail to pay your debt – usually within a 10 day window after the IRS issues the Demand for Payment. You will not receive any notification of a lien until after it has been filed by the IRS.

A lien will be filed in the New York county that you reside in and any other counties where you own property. If you refuse or neglect to pay your tax debt, a tax lien can follow you which can damage your credit and make it nearly impossible for you to make any financial moves in the future. A lien is also used to alert finance companies and creditors that the IRS has the legal right to your property, up to the amount you owe in back taxes.

I had the pleasure of dealing with Ms. Kendall regarding a tax matter and found her professionalism, knowledge of the code and system and proactive attitude to be calming and very, very effective. Many thanks to her and her team.

I started my business in 2014 and had never been good at keeping track of my expenses.The True Resolve team came in and helped get my bookkeeping caught up and back on track. They now continue to help me keep things caught up so I can plan for my business better. This has been an invaluable service that I will continue to use for as long as I have my business.

~ Erik S., Colorado

I was facing an audit on my business and my personal taxes by the IRS. The accountant who had prepared my taxes was not answering my calls and a friend of mine told me to contact Amanda Kendall. Amanda was very helpful in helping me understand the process I would be facing and what this would entail as well as how long it would take to complete the audits and get a determination from the IRS. My accountant had made some mistakes and Amanda was quick to point those out and tell me what that would mean for me in the audit. It turned out one of the mistakes was in my favor and almost helped offset the ones that weren’t. By the time the audit was over it was almost exactly what Amanda had prepared me for.

~ Sarah G, Colorado

I enjoyed having someone to reach out to as we transitioned from our previous CPA firm. Looking forward to ongoing monthly support as well.

~ Ed G., Colorado

I felt that my taxes were done not only quickly, but I am confident that they are done correctly. Amanda and the True Resolve Team are very knowledgeable and professional.

~ James G., Colorado

The whole True Resolve team were amazing at answering my questions in a very timely manner. I was dealing with a Revenue Officer who wasn’t being very helpful. After hiring True Resolve I never had to directly deal with the Revenue Officer again and they handled everything from there and got me an affordable payment plan and were even able to reduce what I owed the IRS.

~ Scott H, Colorado

When I started working with Amanda and her team, I had been getting levied by the IRS for several months. I had hired another company prior to speaking with True Resolve, and they took my money, did nothing and I still got levied. Within a week my levy was stopped and we worked on getting a payment plan in place. I owe the IRS almost $50,000 and am making payments that I can afford which I did not think was ever going to happen. I am also staying up with my taxes for this year so I don’t fall behind again thanks to the team at True Resolve. They have been very helpful and are so prompt in responding when I email or leave a voicemail. I have referred several of my friends dealing with tax issues over to them knowing they will be well taken care of and have their matters dealt with and not be scamm.

~ Davis G., Colorado

True Resolve Tax Professionals was the second tax company I had hired to help with my tax problem. I had some large balances from when I was young and making really good money. Since then, my income has gone down and I could not afford to pay the IRS. I owed them over $52,000.00 and with the help of Amanda and her team, I was able to settle my tax bill through an Offer in Compromise and pay the IRS $4,825.00.

~ Tyler B., Colorado

My payment plan that True Resolve set up is affordable which I did not ever think was going to happen. They also helped me to correct my taxes coming out of my paycheck so I won’t owe any more. Great people to work with.

~ Christopher D., Colorado

I cannot say enough how much I appreciate the whole team at True Resolve. I was not sure where to turn after being ripped off by several companies. Needless to say I was hesitant to hire them but they assured me that they would be the last company I had to hire and they were. The IRS guy that was assigned to my case was very rude and pushy and I was grateful to not have to speak to him. It took a few months because the IRS guy kept telling me I could pay a large payment plan that was not realistic. True Resolve went in and pointed out where he was doing things wrong and got me into a non-collectible status. I now can focus on paying off other debts without worrying about the IRS cleaning out my bank account, and then start paying them once my car is paid off. I was so glad I hired them.

~ Carl H., Colorado

My wife and I owed a large amount of taxes and were not sure what to do. We had worked with Amanda several years ago when she worked with another company, and my wife was able to track her down again. Amanda has now been working with us for almost 7 years at this point, and is always there when we call her needing to make an adjustment with our payment plan with the IRS. She helps us make sure we are not falling behind again also which is a blessing for us.

~ Donald B., Colorado

The IRS was levying my bank account constantly before hiring True Resolve. They were able to not only get this stopped, but get the most recent one returned to me so I could pay bills. This was a huge help to me and I am very thankful they were able to do that. If the IRS is taking money out of your account, these are the people that can help you.

Liens on Personal Property and Assets

Most people think a lien is just filed against your real estate property, but that is not, in fact, the case. A lien applies to real estate, personal property, and your financial assets—those you own at the time the lien is filed and any property obtained during the lien period.

If you currently own your home and are trying to sell it, your Federal Tax Lien will alert the title company that there are funds that are required to be paid to the IRS before you receive any funds at closing. If you are selling your home with plans to purchase another and you owe the IRS back taxes equal to or exceeding the equity you would receive, then you will not have the funds to buy a new home. If you are selling your home and the proceeds will not fully pay your debt, the IRS will still collect their money first based on the lien.

How Liens Affect Your Credit

IRS liens can hinder your ability to obtain credit in the future as it not only shows up on your credit report but actually affects your credit score as well—sometimes by as much as 100 points. In some cases, the Federal Tax Lien will even survive the filing of bankruptcy and show on your credit report for years after the bankruptcy has been discharged.

Releasing a Lien

The best way to remove a lien from your New York-area property and assets is to pay your debt in full. If that’s not an option, you can satisfy your lien through a monthly payment plan or Offer in Compromise or by establishing a hardship to show you are unable to pay your debt. In addition, liens will usually expire after a period of 10 years, which is the statute of limitations for collecting a tax debt.

After you have paid your taxes in full or satisfied your lien in another way, the lien can remain on your credit reports for up to seven years—affecting your credit despite the resolution. You can request a letter from the IRS that shows you have paid the lien in full, which you can then send to credit agencies to show the lien has been released.
