If you owe back taxes or have unfiled returns, now is the time to act.
Since June 2025, the IRS has ramped up its collection efforts, issuing more levy warnings, wage garnishments, and tax liens than we’ve seen in years. After a long period of reduced enforcement, the IRS is now fully staffed, armed with new technology, and ready to collect.
Why the IRS Is Cracking Down Now
One major reason: the new tax law signed on July 4, 2025. While headlines have focused on tax breaks and deductions, the law also gave the IRS significant new funding for enforcement. That means more agents, better systems, and faster action on delinquent accounts.
The IRS is also working to clear out older cases, especially those involving:
– Unfiled tax returns
– Defaulted payment plans
– Pandemic-era debts that were ignored or delayed
Real Client Story: From Garnishment Threat to Peace of Mind
Earlier this summer, a client came to us after receiving a Final Notice of Intent to Levy. He hadn’t filed in several years and owed $38,000. Our team stepped in immediately, filed his missing returns, got a collection hold in place, and began an Offer in Compromise that brought the debt down to $4,800. Collections were stopped, and he’s now back in good standing.
You May Be at Risk If You:
– Owe the IRS and haven’t resolved your balance
– Haven’t filed one or more tax returns
– Are in an outdated or defaulted installment agreement
We’ve seen a spike in LT11, CP90, and CP504 notices, and the IRS response timelines are shorter than ever.
Resolution Options Are Still Available (If You Act Fast)
The IRS offers several relief programs — but you must act before collections begin:
– Offer in Compromise – Settle for less than you owe
– Installment Agreement – Pay over time
– Currently Not Collectible – Pause collections during hardship
– Penalty Abatement – Reduce penalties with reasonable cause
