Do you have unfiled taxes, or unpaid tax debt? If so, there’s a chance the IRS has, or will file a tax lien or wage garnishment for any uncollected tax debt. However, there are legal requirements the IRS must follow before doing so.
According to a new government report, nearly 33,000 taxpayers have been harmed due to the IRS not following legal requirements to notify them and their representatives of their rights related to tax liens in a timely manner.
The report was written by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. The TIGTA recommended that IRS officials ensure tax lien procedures are properly enforced and consistent with IRS procedures. Even though the IRS agreed with this recommendation, it doesn’t mean mistakes can’t still occur.
