Untangling Tax Terms: The Distinction Between Lien and Levy Navigating tax issues can be daunting. The terms "lien" and "levy" add complexity, demanding a clear understanding for those seeking relief tax challenges. Tax Lien: A tax lien is a legal claim on a taxpayer's property, serving as collateral for unpaid tax debt. The IRS or state tax authority files a lien when debt remains unpaid, making it public record. Key points: Filing: Unpaid tax prompts a lien filing, publicizing the debt. Credit Impact: A tax lien significantly affects credit scores, complicating loan or credit approval. Asset Encumbrance: Assets aren't immediately seized but are encumbered, giving the government a claim on proceeds from sale. Priority Status: Tax liens often take precedence over other creditors. Lien Release: Swift resolution, through payment or an alternative plan, is vital to regain control over assets and credit. Tax Levy: A tax levy involves the actual seizure of property to settle unpaid tax debt, representing a more aggressive collection action. Key aspects: Issuance: The IRS or state legally seizes assets like bank accounts, wages, vehicles, or real estate to collect unpaid taxes. Bank Levy: Freezing and withdrawing funds from the taxpayer's account to cover the debt. Wage Garnishment: Continuous deductions from wages occur to satisfy the tax debt, impacting income. This can also happen with SS benefits. Asset Seizure: In extreme cases, the IRS will seize your home or vehicles...

FAQs

Should I enter into an installment payment agreement with the IRS, or a similar agreement with the taxing authorities of Maryland, Virginia or Washington, D.C.?

If you indicate to the IRS that you are not able to pay off your back taxes in one lump sum, the IRS will offer you an installment payment agreement under which you agree to pay a certain amount each month. Sometimes this is your best option to gradually eliminate your tax debt.

What should I do?

To begin with, communicating with the IRS and furnishing information about your finances is not always a good idea. Such information could be, and routinely is, used against taxpayers later on.

What are my options when I receive a tax bill, a Notice of Intent to Lien or Levy or a Notice of Lien filing from the IRS or one of the states such as Maryland or Virginia?

When you are confronted by an impending IRS collection action or when you learn that the IRS has already initiated the collection process, you may do one of the following:

Is it possible to settle my tax liability for a smaller amount than I owe?

You may settle both individual income tax debts and business taxes with the IRS or with state tax agencies if certain conditions are met. You should remember that the IRS is not in the business of forgiving or settling taxes. It is in the business of collecting taxes. However, sometimes the taxpayer is able to show the government that he either does not owe the tax or even if he owes the tax, he is not able to pay all of it.
