Comprender los gravámenes fiscales del IRS

Regardless your situation, it is always best to file and pay your taxes as soon as you can. If you make no effort to pay your taxes, the IRS may levy your bank accounts and wages, or take other assets. Additionally, the IRS may file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien on a delinquent taxpayer which can have a negative impact on their credit rating.

Según el IRS, "si no se pagan los impuestos y no se hace ningún esfuerzo por pagarlos, el IRS puede pedir al contribuyente que tome medidas para pagar los impuestos, como vender o hipotecar los activos que posea u obtener un préstamo. Si aun así no se hace ningún esfuerzo por pagarlos, o por llegar a otros acuerdos de pago, el IRS también podría emprender acciones de cobro forzoso más serias, como embargar cuentas bancarias, salarios u otros ingresos, o quedarse con otros activos. Podría presentarse un Aviso de gravamen fiscal federal que podría tener un efecto perjudicial sobre la solvencia crediticia del contribuyente".

When you fail to pay property tax when it is due and continue to avoid doing so, a tax lien may be placed on your property. At this point, the only way to have the lien released is to pay your property tax bill in full or make arrangements to do so via a payment plan. If the IRS, state, or local tax bureau realizes that you have an unpaid property tax liability, they will send you a ‘bill’ in the mail. They expect you to pay the amount due or make other arrangements as soon as possible. If you do nothing, they have the right to file a notice of tax lien.

Did you know that tax liens on real estate stay with the land? In simple terms, this means that a new owner can become responsible for debt incurred by a past owner. As a buyer, this is an important note to keep in mind. Most people do not want to get involved with a home that has a tax lien attached to it.
