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.

From the first time I met you I knew you and your company were the right choice to help me with my IRS problem. You were very knowledgeable about the workings of the IRS and knew the right course of action to take.

As time went by – (unlike the “other” company I tried to work with…) you did everything you said you were going to do – and real results began to materialize.

As you know – this past year was very hard on me financially. I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I really appreciate how patient you and your organization have been; I could not have gone through this without your help.

I know we will be continuing to work together in the future. I would be happy to recommend you, Robert, and Tax Help Associates to anyone who is having problems with the IRS and don’t know where to turn. I can only wish you and your company all the best.

~ Michael B., New York

I truly appreciate your doggedness in pursuit of clearing up my matter with the IRS. Your perseverance and that of your staff to resolve my matter with the IRS is commendable.

I want to offer my sincerest thanks to you for your fine efforts and your professionalism throughout this ordeal for me. I just can’t believe that this is finally over! I hope that I will never need your services again only because dealing with the IRS is never pleasant nor businesslike on their part. However, should I, through some misfortune become entangled in their web, I will without a doubt contact you and your firm for your able and very professional assistance. Thank you once again to you and your staff.

~ David W., New York

I want to thank you very much for all your help in obtaining my Offer in Compromise. I never could have done this on my own. Your expertise made this process move along quickly and seemingly effortlessly. I really feel relieved and can now go to my mailbox without any anxiety.

~ Michael T., New York

We would like to take the opportunity to thank you for everything you have done for us with regards to dealing with the IRS. It was the best decision we made. If we ever have any other problem with the IRS, you would be the first person we would call. Again thank you so much.

~ Carlos & Aracelis P., New Jersey

As a practicing Doctor of Chiropractic, I get paid from individual insurance companies, and [I received] thirty-two letters: liens placed against companies who paid me, and another lien against my checking account.

My panic was eased when Mr. Dombrowski told me this was serious but avoidable. In short, the gravity of my situation, and my inability to get proper help until that time had me at a crossroad.

Over the course of the next two and a half years, my insurmountable, over $200,000 debt was being debated and my path of correction and responsibility mended. I would not have my practice or my belongings if it were not for Mr. Dombrowski and Tax Help Associates. Thanks is not enough. I owe these people, because I still have a career, a family, and a future. I would refer anyone who needs professional tax help to them as they have proven their worth to me. They corrected a very bad situation and turned it into a positive life experience.

~Michael R., Pennsylvania

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.

~ Donnie R., Colorado

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.

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.
