What to do if you receive a tax lien notice
Contact Effectur immediately, if you’ve been notified the IRS may place a lien against your property.
A tax lien can be particularly devastating for a self-employed individual or independent (1099) contractor. A tax lien gives the IRS a legal claim to your property as security or payment for your tax debt. Once a lien is filed, the IRS also notifies your creditors that they have a claim against ALL your property, including anything you acquire after the lien is filed. The lien attaches to all your property (such as your house or car) and to all your rights to property such as your accounts receivable if you own a business.
If you ignore the problem, your bank may be required to place a levy on your accounts and seize your property. When this happens, daily tasks such as getting to work, buying groceries and paying the electric bill, become difficult.
