The IRS must first send you a series of notices, including a Notice of Intent to Levy, giving you an opportunity to resolve the debt or appeal the decision. If these notices are ignored, the IRS can proceed with a bank levy. If you received a Notice of Intent to Levy, you should contact a tax lawyer immediately.

If you have unfiled tax returns, the first critical step before pursuing any settlement is getting into compliance by filing all required returns. The IRS won't even consider an Offer in Compromise or other settlement options until all your tax returns are current. This doesn't mean you need to pay the full amount owed, just that the returns must be filed.

Working with a tax attorney during this process can significantly impact your settlement options. We can help guide how these returns are prepared to make sure you are taking advantage of every opportunity to reduce the total amount due, while also making sure they are accurate and defensible. Once your returns are filed, we can then analyze your financial situation and pursue the most advantageous settlement option, whether that's an Offer in Compromise, installment agreement, or other resolution. The key is taking that first step to get compliant.
