Tax Liens

Understanding Tax Liens

A tax lien gives the IRS a legal claim on your assets and property, ensuring the government has first rights to your assets if you fail to pay your tax debts. Federal tax liens can have serious consequences, including preventing you from borrowing money, getting a car, and obtaining credit. This legal action can significantly affect your financial stability and long-term financial health.

Consequences of a Federal Tax Lien

When a tax lien is filed against you, it can create numerous financial obstacles:

Credit Impact: A lien on your credit report can drastically lower your credit score, making it difficult to secure loans or credit cards.
Asset Seizure: The IRS can potentially seize your property, including your home, car, and other valuable assets.
Business Interruption: If you own a business, a lien can attach to all your business property and rights to business property, potentially interrupting operations and limiting growth opportunities.
