Chicago – IRS Currently Not Collectible

Chicago: IRS Currently Not Collectible

Chicago: IRS Currently Not Collectible
What does currently non-collectible by the IRS mean to Chicago taxpayers?

There are 6 ways to get out of debt with the IRS. One of them is to be declared “currently non-collectible”.

There is an important word in that definition. And it’s the word currently.

Currently Non-Collectible means that the IRS considers that your current financial situation makes it impossible for you to pay your taxes and they determine that they can’t collect the money from you…

… at least not for now.

Which means that currently non-collectible is usually just a short-term fix for an IRS problem.

In the end you may still have to pay the taxes you owe. Plus you still may have to pay penalties and interest once your financial situation improves….

You can stay non-collectible indefinitely…

As long as your income doesn’t rise more that 15 to 20%.

However, being non-collectible at the moment doesn’t mean you get out of paying taxes going forward.

The IRS still expects what’s owed them.

In fact, you must pay these future taxes in full and on time or you’ll blow it big time. If you neglect to pay your taxes for future years, or worse – you don’t file…the whole CNC deal is off.

If this happens, the IRS will come after all of the money you owe them, and they may use garnishments, levies, seizures, liens and all of the “nasty” tactics at their disposal to get their money. If you do go for non-collectible status the IRS will put you under close scrutiny.

Chicago: IRS Solutions – One Way to Get Out of IRS Debt

There are 6 different ways to eliminate IRS tax debt.

Let’s look at one of the easiest….

Pay the bill.

Now before you think I’m being overly simplistic, this is really an option for many people.

Let me explain.

You may want to pay the bill with a credit card.

Credit card debt is usually better than IRS debt.

The IRS actually accepts Visa, Mastercard & American Express for many debts owed to them. Think of it this way…a credit card company has nowhere near the power of the IRS to collect their money…

Not only can the IRS take your wages, but they can also take things like your real estate, Social Security, 401(k)’s, IRA’s, car, boat, house, accounts receivable, cash loan value of your life insurance, or commissions…to name just a few.

The IRS can also put a lien on your personal and investment properties, making it difficult to sell your house, destroys your credit rating and makes it difficult to refinance or get a home equity loan.

Of course, the “big hammer” of the IRS is that they can actually send you to prison for not paying your taxes.

The credit card companies have power, but not near as much as the IRS. If you don’t have enough credit to pay off your IRS debt then you should know that there are other options.

Chicago – IRS and Divorce

Chicago: IRS and Divorce

Chicago: IRS and Divorce
Could the IRS Make You Get Divorced? In Chicago and need IRS Relief for Tax Debt?

Numerous studies have shown that the money problems are the #1 source of arguments in marriage.

Money problems caused by credit debt, loss of a job, unforeseen expenses – you name it…it’s all stressful on a marriage.

But if you toss an IRS problem into the mix, you may have a recipe for disaster. The IRS has more far-reaching power than any collection agency could ever have.

No other entity has the power to dip into your bank account, garnish your wages, seize your property, put a lien on your house…and possibly put you in jail.

So if money problems cause arguments, IRS problems can cause absolute fallout.

Of course, if divorce follows as a result, it introduces a whole host of other problems emotionally and financially.

Not to mention the damaging effects that marital problems and divorce has on your children… So the IRS can’t cause a divorce, but they sure can contribute to one.

You owe it to yourself, your spouse and your children to put and end to this madness and get on with your life.

In the Chicago area and owe taxes? You may not even know you have an IRS tax lien until it’s too late.

The IRS uses liens to get people to pay the taxes owed. It’s one of the many tools in their arsenal and for many people it’s one of the worst penalties the IRS can inflict. It does silent damage to your life and your credit before you figure it out.

Simply stated, a lien is a security held against your personal and/or investment property by the IRS. And it can make your life miserable.

If the IRS places a claim on your property as a tax lien,it shows up on your credit report and can greatly damage your credit score.

The worst part is that you may not even be aware of the lien until you go apply for a credit card, car loan, home equity loan or to refinance. By that point lenders are hesitant to loan you any money.

Plus, a tax lien may make it very difficult to sell your house. A buyer will be reluctant to buy since the lien comes with the property and becomes the buyer’s problem if you don’t take care of it.

If you’ve had a lien placed on your property already, or if you’ve been served a Notice of Federal Tax Lien – you know that trouble’s just around the corner.
