Have a Larger Tax Matter?
Get a Free Referral to a Licensed Professional.
Whether or not you are a Linked-do-Books bookkeeping client, we can help make an introduction to an independent, licensed tax professional, such as an Enrolled Agent (EA) or CPA. This is a free referral, not an in-house service. Linked-do-Books does not provide tax advice, tax-debt resolution, or representation; the independent professional handles that work. An introduction does not guarantee an engagement or outcome. We refer tax matters to independent licensed tax professionals. Linked-do-Books does not receive referral fees today; if that changes, we will disclose it before making a referral.
General Information
Tax notices and collection actions can be stressful. The brief descriptions below are general information only—not an assessment of your situation or instructions about what to do. An independent tax specialist can explain how the rules apply to you.
Tax Liens
A federal tax lien is a legal claim related to unpaid federal tax and can affect property or credit matters. Its impact depends on the circumstances; an independent tax specialist can explain a notice you receive.
Tax Levies
A levy is a legal seizure of property to satisfy a tax debt. Whether it can be prevented, released, or otherwise addressed depends on the specific facts and IRS process; an independent specialist can explain possible options.
Wage Garnishment
A wage levy may direct an employer to withhold wages for unpaid tax. The options for addressing one depend on individual circumstances and the IRS process; a tax specialist can explain the available paths.
Back Taxes & Penalties
Unfiled returns and unpaid balances can lead to interest, penalties, and collection activity. An independent specialist can explain whether options such as penalty abatement may be relevant to your circumstances.
Examples an Independent Specialist May Handle
Depending on your circumstances and the specialist’s professional scope, an independent tax-resolution specialist may assess or handle matters such as these. Eligibility, approval, and outcomes depend on the individual case and are not guaranteed.
Offer in Compromise (OIC)
An independent specialist may assess whether an Offer in Compromise could be relevant and, if engaged to do so, assist with the matter. The IRS sets eligibility rules and decides whether to accept an offer; qualification and outcomes are not assured.
Installment Agreements
An independent specialist may discuss payment arrangements, including installment agreements, and can assist within the scope of any engagement. Eligibility, payment terms, and the effect on collection activity depend on the individual circumstances and IRS rules.
Penalty Abatement
An independent specialist may review whether a request for penalty abatement could be relevant and assist with a request if engaged to do so. The IRS evaluates requests under its rules, and approval is not guaranteed.
Currently Not Collectible (CNC)
An independent specialist may explain Currently Not Collectible status and assess whether it could apply in a particular case. The IRS determines eligibility; this status is not debt forgiveness and does not guarantee a particular outcome.
