The IRS and State Audit Process

Tax authorities carry out audits to verify the accuracy of a taxpayer's returns and ensure compliance with tax laws. The IRS and state tax agencies may randomly initiate an audit, often prompted by discrepancies, errors, or red flags such as excessive deductions, unreported income, or unusually high business expenses.

REDUCED STRESS

The Importance of Tax Lien and

Garnishment Releases

Obtaining a tax lien or garnishment release is a critical step toward financial recovery for individuals and businesses. These releases remove the government’s claim against the taxpayer’s property, enabling one to regain control of their financial affairs. The releases can facilitate property sales, improve credit scores, and restore financial credibility.

 

The IRS typically issues releases within 30 days of full payment of the tax debt, including penalties and interest. However, several other paths to securing a release exist, even if the debt is not fully paid.
