What is a Federal Tax Lien:
A federal tax lien is the government’s legal claim against your property when you neglect or fail to pay a tax debt. The lien protects the government’s interest in all your property, including real estate, personal property and financial assets.
A federal tax lien exists after:
• Puts your balance due on the books (assesses your liability);
• Sends you a bill that explains how much you owe (Notice and Demand for Payment); and
You:
• Neglect or refuse to fully pay the debt in time.
The IRS files a public document, the Notice of Federal Tax Lien, to alert creditors that the government has a legal right to your property.
In this day and age because of the fair credit act, tax liens are not permitted to be filed as public documents because they lack certain information. Even though they do not appear on your credit report property records will indicate there is a federal tax lien on file.
How to Get Remove or Release of a Lien, Please note there are different ways to remove or release a federal tax lien.
Paying your tax debt – in full – is the best way to get rid of a federal tax lien.
The IRS releases your lien within 30 days after you have paid your tax debt.
When conditions are in the best interest of both the government and the taxpayer, other options for reducing the impact of a lien exist.
Discharge of property
A “discharge” removes the lien from specific property.
There are several Internal Revenue Code (IRC) provisions that determine eligibility. For more information, refer to Publication 783, Instructions on How to Apply for Certificate of Discharge From Federal Tax Lien (PDF) and the video Selling or Refinancing when there is an IRS Lien.
Subordination
“Subordination” does not remove the lien, but allows other creditors to move ahead of the IRS, which may make it easier to get a loan or mortgage.
To determine eligibility, refer to Publication 784, Instructions on How to Apply for a Certificate of Subordination of Federal Tax Lien (PDF) and the video Selling or Refinancing when there is an IRS Lien.
Withdrawal
A “withdrawal” removes the public Notice of Federal Tax Lien and assures that the IRS is not competing with other creditors for your property; however, you are still liable for the amount due.
For eligibility, refer to Form 12277, Application for the Withdrawal of Filed Form 668(Y), Notice of Federal Tax Lien (Internal Revenue Code Section 6323(j)) (PDF) and the video Lien Notice Withdrawal.
Two additional Withdrawal options resulted from the Commissioner’s 2011 Fresh Start initiative.
One option may allow withdrawal of your Notice of Federal Tax Lien after the lien’s release.
General eligibility includes:
Your tax liability has been satisfied and your lien has been released; and also:
• You are in compliance for the past three years in filing – all individual returns, business returns, and information returns;
• You are current on your estimated tax payments and federal tax deposits, as applicable.
The other option may allow withdrawal of your Notice of Federal Tax Lien if you have entered in or converted your regular installment agreement to a Direct Debit installment agreement.
General eligibility includes:
• You are a qualifying taxpayer (i.e. individuals, businesses with income tax liability only, and out of business entities with any type of tax debt)
• You owe $25,000 or less (If you owe more than $25,000, you may pay down the balance to $25,000 prior to requesting withdrawal of the Notice of Federal Tax Lien)
• Your Direct Debit Installment Agreement must full pay the amount you owe within 60 months or before the Collection Statute expires, whichever is earlier
• You are in full compliance with other filing and payment requirements
• You have made three consecutive direct debit payments
• You can’t have defaulted on your current, or any previous, Direct Debit Installment agreement.
How a Lien Affects You
• Assets — A lien attaches to all of your assets (such as property, securities, vehicles) and to future assets acquired during the duration of the lien.
• Credit — Once the IRS files a Notice of Federal Tax Lien, it may limit your ability to get credit.
• Business — The lien attaches to all business property and to all rights to business property, including accounts receivable.
• Bankruptcy — If you file for bankruptcy, your tax debt, lien, and Notice of Federal Tax Lien may continue after the bankruptcy.
Lien vs. Levy
A lien is not a levy. A lien secures the government’s interest in your property when you don’t pay your tax debt. You could also note that a levy is a seizure a federal tax lien is not.
A levy actually takes the property to pay the tax debt. If you don’t pay or make arrangements to settle your tax debt, the IRS can levy, seize and sell any type of real or personal property that you own or have an interest in.

Why this trust fund tax is so deadly????
Many persons have no idea that if their payroll taxes are not paid that they can be held personally responsible for the tax debt, that is, the so-called trust fund taxes.
If IRS sets up the trust fund penalty against responsible persons or employees it can impose their true enforcement action including seizure, garnishments, bank levies, tax liens against any and all assets.
Our firm, fresh start tax is your best tax defense for the trust fund tax, appeals or collection defense.
What is the Trust Fund Tax ? The IRS Code 6672 Penalty
A trust fund tax is money withheld from an employee’s wages (income tax, social security, and Medicare taxes) by an employer and held in trust until paid to the Treasury.
When you pay your employees, you do not pay them all the money they earned. As their employer, you have the added responsibility of withholding taxes from their paychecks. The income tax and employees’ share of FICA (social security and Medicare) that you withhold from your employees’ paychecks are part of their wages you pay to the Treasury instead of to your employees.
Your employees trust that you pay the withholding to the Treasury by making Federal Tax Deposits (PDF). That is why they are called trust fund taxes.
Through this withholding, your employees pay their Contributions toward retirement benefits (social security and Medicare) and the income taxes reported on their tax returns. Your employees’ trust fund taxes, along with your matching share of FICA, are paid to the Treasury through the Federal Tax Deposit system.
The withheld part of e taxes is your employees’ money, and the matching portion is their retirement benefit.
Employment tax deposits are a current expense. Postponing paying them is not the same as making a late payment on your phone bill or to a supplier.
Congress has established large penalties for delays in turning over your employment taxes to the Treasury. The longer it takes to pay that money, the more it will cost you.
Who Can Be Responsible for the TFRP
The TFRP may be assessed against any person who:
Is responsible for collecting or paying withheld income and employment taxes, or for paying collected excise taxes, and
Willfully fails to collect or pay them.
A responsible person is a person or group of people who has the duty to perform and the power to direct the collecting, accounting, and paying of trust fund taxes
This person may be:
An officer or an employee of a corporation,
A member or employee of a partnership,
A corporate director or shareholder,Back in the pick
Another person with authority and control over funds to direct their disbursement,
Another corporation or third-party payer,
Payroll Service Providers (PSP) or responsible parties within a PSP
professional Employer Organizations (PEO) or responsible parties within a PEO, or
Responsible parties within the common law employer (client of PSP/PEO).
The responsible person:
Must have been, or should have been, aware of the outstanding taxes and
Either intentionally disregarded the law or was plainly indifferent to its requirements (no evil intent or bad motive is required).
Using available funds to pay other creditors when the business is unable to pay the employment taxes is an indication of Consultations.
You may be asked to complete an interview in order to determine the full scope of your duties and responsibilities.
Responsibility is based on whether an individual exercised independent judgment with respect to the financial affairs of the business.
An employee is not a responsible person if the employee’s function was solely to pay the bills as directed by a superior, rather that to determine which creditors would or would not be paid.
Figuring the TFRP Amount:
The amount of the penalty is equal to the unpaid balance of the trust fund tax. The penalty is computed based on:
The unpaid income taxes withheld, plus
The employee’s portion of the withheld FICA taxes.
For collected taxes, the penalty is based on the unpaid amount of collected excise taxes.
Assessing the TFRP:
If we determine that you are a responsible person, we will provide you a letter stating that we plan to assess the TFRP against you. You have 60 days (75 days if this letter is addressed to you outside the United States) from the date of this letter to appeal our proposal. The letter will explain your appeal rights.
Caution:
Once we assert the penalty, we can take collection action against your personal assets. For instance, we can file a federal tax lien or take levy or seizure action.
Call us today and hear the truth. We can review a number of examinations and represent you before the IRS and provide your best possible tax defense.

Use Former IRS Agents and Managers who can get you back in the system worry free. We are a local tax firm that has been in practice since 1982.
Our former IRS agents and managers worked out of the local South Florida IRS offices.
You can file back file back tax returns and settle all at the same time why, because we know the system.
We have over 100 years of combined IRS experience and know the protocols and the systems to make this a very simple and affordable process.
With or without records we can file unfiled, back or late tax returns and settle your case all at the same time.
The bottom line is, we know the system. Since 1982 we have been working tax cases and prior to that we worked at the Internal Revenue Service as revenue officers, revenue agents, office orders, managers, supervisors and teaching instructors. We know the system inside and out and know the exact methodologies to close your case without worry.
Many taxpayers fail to file back tax returns because they are afraid of what IRS will do, but at some point in time IRS will demand that your tax returns be filed. After working thousands of cases we have found that after the first year, many taxpayers just bury their head in the sand hoping the problem will go away.
The IRS computer system
The taxpayer should know that IRS does not catch up to you in the first year but after IRS receives a W-2 or a 1099 the hunt starts. IRS has a multitude of resources to find out where you bank and were you work so it is in your best interest to make sure your tax returns are filed.
If you do not file the returns IRS has the right under 6020b of the Internal Revenue Code to file your tax returns for you. If they do you will pay the highest amount of tax by law.
Many people do not receive their 6020 B notice advising them that IRS created a tax assessment against them and wake up one day finding out that their wages have been garnished or their bank account has been levy or seized
Many times taxpayers move and leave no forwarding so the IRS is free to do what they wish to.
Other people do not file because they have lost their records and now they’re stuck and have no idea what the next step is.
We have a unique way of reconstructing your tax return because of our experience at the IRS and knowing the formulas to complete tax return.
If someone has lost the records or cannot find all their records to complete your tax return with one call we can explain our process to you and get you back on the road to recovery to file all your back tax returns and work out a settlement all at the same time without worry, fear, and anxiety from the Internal Revenue Service.
Once we file a power of attorney, the Internal Revenue Service is not allowed to contact you and all communications must go through our offices.
We are your insurance and best tax defense against the Internal Revenue Service.
How the IRS will work your open collection case.
If you will money to the Internal Revenue Service they will require a current financial statement on a form 433 a or 433F.
The Internal Revenue Service will want to see complete documentation on that form with copies of bank statements, pay stubs, expenses, before it makes a determination on how they will close your case.

You can file back file back tax returns and settle all at the same time why, because we know the system.
We have over 100 years of combined IRS experience and know the protocols and the systems to make this a very simple and affordable process.
With or without records we can file unfiled, back or late tax returns and settle your case all at the same time.
The bottom line is, we know the system. Since 1982 we have been working tax cases and prior to that we worked at the Internal Revenue Service as revenue officers, revenue agents, office orders, managers, supervisors and teaching instructors. We know the system inside and out and know the exact methodologies to close your case without worry.
Many taxpayers fail to file back tax returns because they are afraid of what IRS will do, but at some point in time IRS will demand that your tax returns be filed. After working thousands of cases we have found that after the first year, many taxpayers just bury their head in the sand hoping the problem will go away.
The IRS computer system
The taxpayer should know that IRS does not catch up to you in the first year but after IRS receives a W-2 or a 1099 the hunt starts. IRS has a multitude of resources to find out where you bank and were you work so it is in your best interest to make sure your tax returns are filed.
If you do not file the returns IRS has the right under 6020b of the Internal Revenue Code to file your tax returns for you. If they do you will pay the highest amount of tax by law.
Many people do not receive their 6020 B notice advising them that IRS created a tax assessment against them and wake up one day finding out that their wages have been garnished or their bank account has been levy or seized. Many times taxpayers move and leave no forwarding so the IRS is free to do what they wish to.
Other people do not file because they have lost their records and now they’re stuck and have no idea what the next step is.
We have a unique way of reconstructing your tax return because of our experience at the IRS and knowing the formulas to complete tax return.
If someone has lost the records or cannot find all their records to complete your tax return with one call we can explain our process to you and get you back on the road to recovery to file all your back tax returns and work out a settlement all at the same time without worry, fear, and anxiety from the Internal Revenue Service.
Once we file a power of attorney, the Internal Revenue Service is not allowed to contact you and all communications must go through our offices.
We are your insurance and best tax defense against the Internal Revenue Service.
How the IRS will work your open collection case.
If you will money to the Internal Revenue Service they will require a current financial statement on a form 433 a or 433F.
The Internal Revenue Service will want to see complete documentation on that form with copies of bank statements, pay stubs, expenses, before it makes a determination on how they will close your case.
