The IRS enforced collection process begins when
voluntary payment of assessed taxes is not made and a tax delinquency exists.
The IRS collection process is explained in
IRS
Publication 594, What You
Should Know About the IRS Collection Process,
but experience in dealing with IRS collection matters and personnel often makes
the difference in successfully resolving an IRS tax collection case. Generally,
a taxpayer is required to pay a tax along with and at the time of filing a tax
return. However, if a taxpayer fails to timely pay a tax obligation when
due, the delinquent tax obligation is assessed by the IRS by entering the
liability on the appropriate IRS individual master file for the taxpayer. A
notice and demand for payment is then sent to the taxpayer. After IRS demand for
full payment is made, the taxpayer can either voluntarily comply by making
payment, or seek alternative payment arrangements, including, but not limited
to, a partial or full pay installment agreement, an
offer-in-compromise, or
classification of the account as "currently not collectible."
Once the IRS has determined that a taxpayer is not
voluntarily paying his or her tax obligation, and all appeal rights have
expired, the IRS is required to commence involuntary collection action. The
IRS has many involuntary collection tools at its disposal. For example, the IRS
can file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien, serve a levy on your wages or bank
account, assess a trust fund recovery penalty, or even attempt to seize your
house, car or other property.
