New report accuses IRS of failing to mail out lien notices in a timely manner
A recent report from the Treasury Inspector General for the Tax Administration found that the Internal Revenue Service doesn’t always practice what they preach. The research concluded that the government service picks and chooses when it wants to abide by statutory requirements to send out lien notices to U.S. citizens in a timely manner.
A recent report from the Treasury Inspector General for the Tax Administration found that the Internal Revenue Service doesn’t always practice what they preach. The research concluded that the government service picks and chooses when it wants to abide by statutory requirements to send out lien notices to U.S. citizens in a timely manner.
"This is a serious matter," TIGTA Inspector General J. Russell George said in a statement. "Because of this problem, some taxpayers’ rights to appeal the lien filings may have been jeopardized, and others may have had their rights violated when the IRS did not notify their representatives of the lien filings."
Liens are filed against a person or property when they fail to pay their taxes in a timely manner. The IRS attempts to recollect the revenue originally missed. Because offenders may have their assets seized if they do not pay off their lien, it is important that they have the maximum amount of time available to resolve the situation with the IRS.
