Once a lien or levy has been filed, the IRS has established a legal claim or begun taking funds directly. A lien attaches to your property, while a levy can remove money from your bank account or wages. At this point, it’s important to understand the available steps to limit further collection activity. IRS Help looks at what caused the lien or levy and contacts the IRS for the taxpayer to address the issue. Once IRS Help is involved, the team handles all communication with the IRS so the taxpayer can focus on moving toward a workable resolution.
