When You Wake Up to Find Your Money and Assets Gone… We’ll Help You Get It Back.

If you owe money to the IRS, they may choose to come get their payment by levying your property. This means you might literally wake up one morning with nothing! You may find your bank accounts have been cleaned out, your assets have been seized, and your wages are being garnished. There is no “affordable payment plan” when you are dealing with the IRS. Their goal is to gain what is owed to them quickly and completely.

If you are ignoring communications from the IRS, an IRS Tax Levy may well be in your future.

Once the IRS is garnishing your wages, they will continue to take money directly from your paycheck until your tax debt is paid, without regard to leaving you enough money to pay the rest of your bills. They will even take what you already own and begin selling it at auction in order to get the money owed to them.

You don’t want to find yourself in this situation.

If you are in this situation, however, let us see what we can do to help. We can often get at least some of these levies released and to help you move toward the goal of getting your life back.
