Legal Question in Tax Law in California

Re: Siezure of House by IRS

While seizing your house is not likely, they can and will seize your bank accounts. You should get professional help immediately to deal with them. When it gets to a collection level, they begin getting a little harder with you.

Re: Siezure of House by IRS

There are procedures that must be followed to levy on your residence.

Unfortunately, as polite as tax authorities may be, they are not acting in your interest. Under the circumstance of your situation I always advise that the taxpayer have no contact of any kind with the government. All information and negotiation should be conducted through a tax representative with experience in these matters. Once you have been in contact with the government and they know where your assets and income are, they will demand full payment or proceed to take direct action (unless you qualify for an installment agreement or an offer in compromise).

This is just general information. No representations are made and no attorney client relationship is established by this communication. In most matters there are strict time limitations within which actions may be taken or your rights will be compromised. We are not taking any action on your matter and will not be considered your attorney or tax representative until both you and we have signed a fee agreement.

We, therefore will take no action on your behalf unless a written retainer agreement is signed. There are strict deadlines, called statutes of limitation, within which claims or lawsuits must be filed. Therefore, if you do not retain SELIKLAW, you should immediately seek the services of another attorney or other advisor.
