Do not ignore it. IRS notices often have strict deadlines. Many issues can be resolved quickly if addressed early. A tax professional can review the notice, explain the issue, and communicate with the IRS on your behalf.
Yes. If tax liabilities remain unresolved, the IRS can take collection actions such as:
- Wage garnishments
- Bank levies
- Property liens
- Seizure of assets in serious cases
However, many taxpayers qualify for installment agreements, penalty abatements, or other resolution options that can prevent these actions.
Possible solutions may include:
- Installment agreements
- Penalty abatement
- Currently Not Collectible status
- Offer in Compromise (in limited circumstances)
The best option depends on the taxpayer’s financial situation and the amount owed.
Generally, the IRS has three years from the date a return is filed to conduct an audit. However, the period may extend to six years if substantial income is omitted, and there is no statute of limitations in cases of fraud or failure to file.
