TAX RESOLUTION GUIDANCE

Tax Liens & Levies
Resolution Guidance

Tax liens and levies can create serious financial concerns, but understanding your situation is the first step toward determining the right path forward. Simonsgroup helps individuals, business owners, and professionals understand IRS collection actions, evaluate available options, and develop a strategic approach to resolving outstanding tax matters.

What Are Tax Liens and Levies?

When tax obligations remain unresolved, the IRS may take collection actions to protect its ability to collect unpaid taxes.

Two common IRS collection tools are tax liens and tax levies. Although they are related, they affect taxpayers in different ways.

Tax Lien: A legal claim against property securing the government's interest.

Tax Levy: An enforcement action used to collect through the seizure of assets.

Understanding the Difference Between Tax Liens and Levies

📌

Tax Lien

A tax lien is the government’s legal claim against property when unpaid tax obligations exist.

A lien may affect:
  • Property ownership
  • Financial transactions
  • Asset planning decisions
  • Future borrowing considerations

Tax Levy

A tax levy is an enforcement action where the IRS takes assets to satisfy an unpaid tax obligation.

A levy may involve:
  • Bank accounts
  • Wages
  • Other financial assets
  • Certain property

Why Addressing IRS Collection Actions Matters

Tax liens and levies generally occur after previous IRS notices and collection efforts have not been resolved.

Addressing the issue early provides more opportunity to understand your circumstances and evaluate possible solutions before matters escalate further.

Ignoring these matters may lead to:

  • ⚠️ Increased collection activity
  • ⚠️ Greater financial uncertainty
  • ⚠️ Challenges involving assets
  • ⚠️ Difficulty planning future decisions
  • ⚠️ Additional complications with resolving tax obligations
