IRS SEIZURES – PALTIEL ACCOUNTING SERVICES

Unlike the levy, which involves intangible assets such as your bank account, a seizure is the  taking of physical assets, such as your home or car. Seizures usually happen in aggravated cases  when someone ignores many requests by the IRS over a long period of time to pay their  outstanding taxes.

A seizure should not be taken lightly. The IRS will ultimately pursue seizure of your physical  assets. Don’t think they won’t. Many a newspaper or television show has reported citizens being  forced out of their homes after it was sold at an IRS auction, often for as little as half its value.

When the IRS seizes your assets they want to quickly sell them at auction. They often get less  than half your assets value, so they often seize everything you own including your home, cars,  boats, jewelry, motorcycles, insurance polices, and even your retirement funds.
