IRS and State Tax Collection Procedures


The information below contains information about the various collection procedures used by the IRS and State tax agencies to collect outstanding tax debts.

IRS Tax Lien

Washington Tax Service Can Help you Resolve Your Tax lien

By filing a Notice of Federal Tax Lien, the IRS is publicly telling the taxpayer's creditors that it has a claim on some or all of the taxpayer's property (such as a house or automobile) and also on all of the taxpayer's rights to property (such as a business's Accounts Receivable.)

Tax Levy

We can help you get your IRS tax Levy released and arrange a permanent tax solution!

An IRS Tax Levy is a legal seizure of assets taken in order to satisfy a tax debt. An IRS Tax Levy can be attached to any property, including real estate and automobiles, but is most frequently applied to bank accounts, securities, wages and even a business' accounts receivable. When the IRS issues a Tax Levy, it bars access to the affected assets by the rightful owner and transfers that authority to the IRS, pending outright seizure.

IRS SFR - Substitute Filed Returns

If you don't file your returns, The IRS may file for you.

When a taxpayer does not file a return for one year or many years, frequently the IRS will file the return(s) for them. When the IRS files a Substitute Filed Return (also known as an SFR) most of the time the taxpayer will end up owing significantly more in back taxes than if they had filed themselves.

IRS or State Wage Garnishment

We Can Help You Keep the Money you Earn.

Wage Garnishment is a common IRS tax collection tool (also called a Wage Levy). An IRS Wage Garnishment follows the same concept as a Levy. In this case a notice is sent to the taxpayer's employer, ordering them to withhold a certain amount of the taxpayer's wages, and pay it directly to the IRS.

IRS Tax Audits

An IRS audit can be triggered by irregularities on a taxpayer's tax return or simply because the tax return has been selected at random to be audited.
