Finding out that you have unpaid back taxes owed to the IRS can be a scary experience. After your first letter, you may not know how to respond or what payment options are available. Worse, the IRS is not legally required to explain your payment options and will instead send notice after notice with threats of seizing your personal home, bank accounts, and other property without a court order.
Furthermore, the longer you wait to take action, the more interest you accrue which is raising the amount you owe the IRS. As the the amount you owe continues to rise so is the likelihood of the IRS going through on its threats. Time is of the essence.
