Did You Receive a Tax Lien Letter?

Home>Did You Receive a Tax Lien Letter?

An IRS Tax Lien can have Serious Consequences. But it doesn't have to if you act quickly.

Tax liens mean the IRS can take your property, assets, or wages until your tax debt is resolved. But with the right approach, you can have your lien removed and your tax issues reduced or even eliminated – before they get worse. Wiggam Law is here to help.

A Copy of the Letter You Received

LEGAL ADVERTISEMENT

Dear [First Name],

A tax lien for $[Amount] has been recorded against you.

What that means:

  • The lien attaches to real estate you own, including your primary residence, and can block the sale or refinance of that property until it is resolved.
  • It appears in public records and can be discovered and used by lenders, landlords, and employers running background or credit checks.
  • Seriously delinquent federal tax debts can result in the denial or revocation of a U.S. passport.
  • It signals that collection has escalated past the notice stage. Levy of bank accounts, wages, and accounts receivable is the next step in the process.
  • Federal tax liens generally survive bankruptcy and continue to attach to assets after discharge.

The lien is not the end of the road. It is the point where resolution options still exist but begin to narrow, and where the difference between represented and unrepresented outcomes tends to be the largest.

A recent representative case:

A Georgia taxpayer with $[X] in back federal taxes had a Notice of Federal Tax Lien filed against real estate held jointly with a spouse. We evaluated the assessment, resolved the underlying liability through a partial payment installment agreement, and obtained a lien withdrawal that cleared title for a pending refinance.

Who we are:

Wiggam Law is an Atlanta tax law firm. Tax law is the only thing we do. We represent individuals and businesses before the IRS and the Georgia Department of Revenue in tax liens, levies, installment agreements, offers in compromise, and Collection Due Process hearings.
