How to Protect Yourself from IRS Collections in 2024 – A Guide by Tactical Tax Group

As tax laws continue to evolve in 2024, taxpayers must stay informed about IRS collection actions that can impact their financial well-being. The IRS has powerful tools to recover unpaid taxes, including liens, levies, and wage garnishments.

By being proactive and taking preventive measures, you can avoid serious financial consequences and protect your assets from IRS enforcement actions.

Why You Might Be at Risk of IRS Collections

The IRS takes tax debt seriously, and certain financial situations can increase your risk of facing collection actions:

✅ Unpaid Taxes – If you owe back taxes, especially large balances, you’re at risk of IRS collections, liens, and levies.

✅ Incorrect Filings – Mistakes on your tax return can trigger an IRS audit, leading to additional taxes, penalties, and interest.

✅ Changes in Income – An increase or decrease in income can change your tax liability. Failing to adjust your withholdings or estimated tax payments can lead to an unexpected tax bill.

✅ Ignoring IRS Notices – The IRS sends multiple warning notices before taking aggressive collection actions. Ignoring these notices can result in wage garnishment or even property seizure.

By staying on top of your tax situation, you can reduce your risk of IRS enforcement actions.

Understanding IRS Collections – How the IRS Takes Action

The IRS uses several collection tools to recover unpaid tax debt. Understanding these can help you act before it’s too late:

📌 Tax Liens – A legal claim against your property that hurts your credit score and makes it difficult to sell or refinance assets.

📌 Tax Levies – The IRS seizes property, bank accounts, or wages to satisfy unpaid tax debt. This is one of the most severe collection actions.

📌 Wage Garnishments – The IRS orders your employer to withhold a portion of your wages until your tax debt is paid. This can severely impact your financial stability.

📌 Passport Revocation – If you owe over $62,000 in tax debt (as of 2024), the IRS can revoke or deny your passport renewal.

Steps to Avoid IRS Collections

The good news is that you can prevent IRS collection actions by taking the following steps:

✅ File Your Taxes on Time – Even if you can’t pay the full amount, filing on time helps you avoid penalties and keeps your tax record clean.

✅ Pay What You Can – Making partial payments reduces penalties and interest while showing the IRS you’re trying to resolve your debt.

✅ Set Up a Payment Plan – The IRS offers:

• Installment Agreements – Pay your debt over time with a structured monthly payment plan.

• Offer in Compromise (OIC) – If you qualify, settle your debt for less than what you owe.

• Currently Not Collectible (CNC) Status – If you’re facing financial hardship, the IRS may temporarily stop collections.
