Schaumburg IRS Seizures

Schaumburg IRS seizures are the taking of physical assets that usually happens when IRS requests are continuously ignored. Whether you cannot pay or refuse to pay, the IRS can seize wages, money in your bank account, and even your retirement funds. When the collection process begins, you will receive a written notice from the IRS informing you of their authorization to liquidate your assets. The earnings from the liquidation process are used to cover the tax due.

“If the IRS seizes your house or other property, the IRS will sell your interest in the property and apply the proceeds (after the costs of the sale) to your tax debt.” IRS seizure may be your worst nightmare, but it can be avoided if we get involved soon enough. The skilled team at Jones, Savarese, Harrington & Company is ready to help.

As a general rule, any asset that has equity is up for grabs. If a possession can be sold, the IRS may consider it while seizing your assets. The IRS is prohibited from seizing certain assets and earnings. For example, the IRS cannot take property that has no value at auction. As a result, assets that do not have equity are excluded from seizure.

Types of property the IRS will seize:

  • Your home
  • Rental properties
  • Jewelry
  • Some household goods and furniture
  • Cash and bank account funds
  • Retirement funds
  • Your business
