The Tax Man Cometh, And Takes Just About Everything!

By Stewart Wrighter Platinum Quality Author

This article shows how the Internal Revenue Service can take just about anything a person owns if they think that they are owed back taxes. It also goes on to explain some terms which may be a little confusing to some. Many people, when they are filling in end of year returns, get some kind of mental block or nervous tic and assume that they are going to be audited for some slight misdemeanor. Of course, we can all get audited no matter what we do, but when it comes to court cases, we certainly need the help of an expert who can guide us through this mess. Try looking up ‘IRS tax attorney’ or ‘tax lawyer’ to see what kind of services are available locally.

If anyone owns their own home, or they have a wife or husband, paying their dues is what filling in returns is all about. Many are sometimes confused about what they can claim back and what they cannot, but being ignorant of the rules is no excuse in the eyes of the revenue service. Indeed, a simple mistake has put many a person into a financial downward spiral which they have barely gotten out of and this is what scares people the most. Once a government auditor has seen something unusual though, this is where the problems begin.

Even the terminology of some reports is enough to send people into a flux and they should certainly do their best to understand what terms mean. For example, some people do not know the difference between liens and a levy. If collateral is needed to get a loan, and this could be shares or even a house, a lien is placed on it to show that there is a loan outstanding to the lender. The owner will not be allowed to sell this item until the loan has been paid or an agreement reached where the lender will get first bite at the incoming cash.

A levy is put in place one the lien has been enacted and will allow the lender to act only if the borrower does not pay back the loan in the specified time. If the lender only has a lien on the collateral, they cannot sell or otherwise take possession of the collateral until they have enacted a levy on the whole thing. Effectively, what this does is to stop the borrower selling off the collateral and running away without finishing paying off the loan.

What everyone should avoid is having a lien placed on their house or shares by the Internal Revenue Service. They will inform all and any credit services of this lien and it is obvious that the poor individual will suffer from a crashing credit rating. IF it is placed on a house, the Service will take what they assume to be theirs and will even add penalties and interest which may have accrued over time leaving the householder with no home and very little money to start again.

  5. Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything.

  7. I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  8. With the whole thing which appears to be building throughout this subject material, all your points of view are generally relatively refreshing. On the other hand, I am sorry, but I can not give credence to your whole strategy, all be it radical none the less. It would seem to everybody that your opinions are generally not completely validated and in fact you are yourself not really thoroughly confident of the assertion. In any case I did take pleasure in looking at it.

  10. A lot of of the things you articulate happens to be supprisingly precise and it makes me wonder why I hadn’t looked at this with this light before. This particular article truly did switch the light on for me personally as far as this specific subject goes. Nevertheless at this time there is actually one point I am not really too cozy with so while I try to reconcile that with the central theme of your issue, permit me see what the rest of your subscribers have to say.Very well done.
