What If You Have Taxes You Can't Pay OFF?
If you have an IRS or State tax balance and do not pay or respond to setup a resolution, the IRS and many states can pursue enforced collections actions that make your life more difficult. Here are some of those negative consequences and why you need to address tax issues earlier rather than later:
The IRS and states can dock your wages so that you receive less than usual in terms of your paycheck at work. They can also issue 1099 levies for contractors who have clients that need to pay them.. With no action, the IRS and many states will continue to do so until either the taxes are paid off or the time clock for collecting the tax expires (generally with the IRS it is ten years). Fortunately, a trusted tax firm can remove or reduce them in most cases.
Generally rarer, the IRS and many states can seize property. It can includes houses, cars, boats, land and other assets to satisfy past due tax liabilities. Moreover, they can also levy retirement accounts, rental income, life insurance, and more.
The IRS and many states can also recover taxes from your bank account without your approval. As a result, funds are frozen, and you have 21 days until the IRS takes the money. Most states issue "standing" orders which means new deposits are affected. An IRS bank order will not affect bank deposits after the fact, however, the IRS can initiate another again.
Some IRS taxpayers or taxpayers with a balance of $53,000 or more can have their current passport revoked. Furthermore, certain taxpayers can receive a denial when renewing or requesting a new passport.

CAN YOU lower YOUR TAXES?
Tax reduction is possible, but it is not an option for everyone. Being able to reduce your tax balance is determined mainly by the taxpayer's ability to pay, future ability to pay, the situation that caused the liability, errors made by the taxpayer or possible mistakes made by the taxation authorities. Below are some methods that may be used to pay less.
Many situations come up where the taxpayer may have made errors with prior filings, or taxation authorities filed on their behalf (SFR) which caused them to have a larger tax balance than if the taxpayer had filed their tax return. In these situations, an amended tax return can lower outstanding tax liabilities if accepted.
If the taxpayer has an acceptable reason for not staying in compliance with tax laws, there is a possibility that the IRS and some states may waive fees that accrued.
This method allows taxpayers to pay far less than their tax balance if they meet the strict guidelines and complete the paperwork 100% correctly.
The taxing authorities can stop collection actions until the taxpayer's financial situation improves. The tax may be forgiven if their financial situation doesn't improve before the statute expires.
Allows the taxpayer to make small payments towards their taxes. The IRS may forgive any tax balance if it is not all paid back before the collection statutes expiration date.
Beware of tax companies that promise they can reduce your tax balance because there is no way of them knowing for sure before knowing your total tax and financial situation.
