Asset Seizure Protection

Is the IRS Going to Confiscate Your Home, Your Car, and Even Your Retirement Accounts?

Long-time tax liability might be met with the most extreme forms of compensation by the IRS (aka asset seizure). It is within their right to seize assets — like your home, your car, and valuables (such as jewelry and collectibles) to pay off the debt. These items might not be even sold at fair market value; the government’s goal is to quickly take money from you by any means possible.

They might even collect by seizing your insurance policies and retirement accounts, leaving you with absolutely nothing.

If it does get to the point of asset seizure, you can request a collection due process hearing.

Getting experienced representation in your corner at this hearing can make all the difference.



There is a three-step process that the IRS follows before they seize any of your property

First, the IRS issues you a notice,
next, you must refuse to pay,
and finally, the IRS will issue a final notice.
