Collection Appeals Programs

Santa Clarita Tax Attorneys with Full Comprehension of the Law

If the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is knocking on your door, looking to collect or levy your property or wages, you might be feeling hopeless. Like so many others before you, it is important for you to understand that you can get help contest or appealing the decisions of the IRS. At Financial Recovery Law, our Santa Clarita debt settlement lawyers are available to help individuals and businesses alike stand up to the IRS and secure a stronger financial future.

Find a Collection Appeals Process That Works For You

With our support, you can begin to explore numerous IRS collection appeal programs that best serve your financial situation.

The three most common include:

• Collection due process (CDP) - After the IRS has issues an intent to levy your assets, you have only 30 days to request a CDP hearing to contest the levy and offer collection alternatives.
• Offer in compromise (OIC) - You can propose a lesser amount owed than the IRS initially requested by proving your inability to pay without sending yourself into a crippling financial crisis.
• Filing for bankruptcy - In certain cases, if you can prove to the IRS that you must file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, your owed taxes may be reconsidered and adjusted, if not dismissed.

Fight Some of the Most Damaging Forms of IRS Collections

By instituting a proper collection appeal, you can find relief from some of the most common practices the IRS uses to collect money owed.

With the help of a Santa Clarita tax attorney from our firm, you can challenge numerous collection processes, including two of the most common forms:

• Liens - If a property affected by a lien is sold, the IRS can take a portion equal to what they are owed, plus any applicable interest.
• Levies - When the IRS actually seizes a portion of your property to satisfy a tax debt, it has enacted its rights to use a levy.

While you may also be suffering from garnishments imposed by the IRS – such as taking portions of your weekly paycheck – it is not typical for collection appeals processes to affect them. If you would like help understanding garnishments or any other forms of collection processes, contact our firm today to speak to a knowledgeable tax lawyer.
