A federal tax lien arises automatically if you don’t pay the amount due after receiving your first bill.
You received a notice or letter from the IRS and either choose to respond to the notice or letter and/or lien or levy by paying your tax balance in full.
Installment agreements are one of your options if you can’t pay your taxes in full when they’re due. These agreements are payment plans that that allow you to pay your debt over a time you establish with the IRS. You must stay current with monthly payments, timely file your tax returns, and make estimated tax payments. Future refunds will be applied to unpaid taxes until the tax balance is paid in full.

Your tax return may show you’re due a refund from the IRS. However, if you owe a federal tax debt from a prior tax year, or a debt to another federal agency, or certain debts under state law, the IRS may keep (offset) some or all your tax refund to pay your debt.

The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is happy to announce that our website is now available in 13 different languages. This expansion began back in 2022 with Spanish and now includes 11 of the other languages that are most widely used in the United States.
“I am so excited that we can provide 11 new language options on the TAS website that provides access to valuable tax help for millions of taxpayers where English is their second language,” said National Taxpayer Advocate Erin M. Collins. “These taxpayers will have access to valuable tax help, learn about their taxpayer rights, read about tax news, navigate IRS letters and notices, and learn about important resources like Low Income Taxpayer Clinics. It is important for us to continue to find new ways to connect with taxpayers in ways that make it easier for them to understand and engage with the tax system and resolve their tax-related issues. I applaud our team at TAS for their hard work in providing more access to taxpayers who speak other languages.”
The tax year (TY) 2022 filing season kicked off on January 23, 2023. Each filing season, taxpayers face a variety of challenges, including choosing a qualified return preparer, locating a volunteer tax return preparation site, selecting tax preparation software, and understanding what they need to include on their income tax returns. One important tax benefit many low- and moderate-income taxpayers are eligible to claim on their tax returns is the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). The EITC is a refundable tax credit that provides substantial financial support to many taxpayers, many of whom come to rely on the resulting tax refunds to pay for necessities. The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Awareness Day is a one-day national education program to alert taxpayers to the importance of the EITC and teach them how to claim it properly. The IRS partnered with more than 1,500 supporters for about 220 live events, social media and other activities such as news releases and articles for EITC Awareness Day to raise awareness.
