IRS Tax Liens & Levies in Brevard County

When the IRS believes that a taxpayer is able to pay their tax debt but refuses to do so, it may take aggressive measures to satisfy that debt. The most common of these measures are issuing tax liens and levies.

What Is a Tax Lien?

A tax lien is a type of restrictive hold that the IRS can place on a taxpayer's assets. This happens when the agency believes you have assets to pay your debts but continue to fail to do so.

In this case, the lien prevents the taxpayer from selling the property in order to protect the government's interest in recovering the back taxes which are owed. Essentially, it is the IRS claiming its own rights to your property.

Tax liens can only be issued when:

• The IRS has made an assessment of a taxpayer's assets
• The taxpayer is then notified that they have 60 days to pay their debt
• The taxpayer still fails to pay the debt

What Is a Tax Levy?

Conversely, a tax levy is an IRS seizure or garnishment of a taxpayer's assets or property. These levies can also be used to garnish wages or freeze bank accounts.

While there are exemptions to what the IRS can seize, this is an aggressive and invasive IRS measure that is only taken when it believes that a taxpayer is actively avoiding paying a debt.
