FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can the IRS take money from my bank account without permission?
Absolutely. The IRS has the ability to utilize extreme tactics to collect taxes that are owed. These tactics include placing a “levy” against your bank accounts, which allows them to withdraw up to the entire tax amount owed! Luckily you have 21 days in which to dispute the levy before it begins, if you have received notice of a pending levy from the IRS in the mail, contact our tax team today in order to have it blocked: 888-668-9968

Can the IRS take money out of my paychecks without permission?
They can and they will. Often the most destructive of the tactics the IRS employs in order to collect owed taxes, wage garnishment laws allow them to take up to HALF of your total paycheck per pay period! If you’re in danger of having your wages garnish, call CarterCapital today and we’ll stop it ASAP: 888-668-9968

I haven’t filed taxes in years…what should I do?
This is an extremely common occurrence in the United States currently, and because of it the IRS now employs over 17,000 people whose only job is to find you and collect every dime you owe, whether you’ve filed your annual tax returns or not. Worse, if you haven’t filed returns the IRS may take a year or two to catch you, meanwhile they’re applying daily interest, fines, and penalties to your case...regardless of whether they’ve gotten in contact with you or not!
If you’re behind on your tax returns, don’t worry, it’s what we do best. We’ll not only get you caught up, we’ll also optimize your deductions and minimize your tax liability. Once the IRS accepts the new returns, we’re then free to negotiate a lower settlement offer with them in terms of the penalties and interest they’ve charged you. Don’t wait, every day is costing you money whether the IRS has notified you or not! Call us at 888-668-9968 and let’s get caught up before they apply wage garnishment and bank levy tactics to collect.

Can the IRS put a lien against my house? I thought it was protected!
Wrong. Unlike bankruptcy laws that protect homeowners from having their residence seized in order to pay back creditors, the IRS is free to attach a lien to your home in order to pursue collections…preventing you from selling it, refinancing it, or even obtaining a home equity loan. You’re trapped! And worse, should you decide to just sell it in order to cash out the equity in the home, the IRS can swoop in and seize any equity you may have in the home until they’re paid in full!
Don’t let this happen to you. YOUR home is YOUR home, it’s not a toy for the IRS to play with. CarterCapital tax experts can remove liens from property, and keep the IRS from taking decades worth of appreciation and investment away from you. Call us now and sleep easier: 888-668-9968

I’ve had medical problems or lost my job last year, can the IRS still come after me?
The IRS doesn’t know that your current situation includes specific hardships that make it almost impossible for you to pay your taxes. It’s our job to explain your difficulties in a way that maximizes potential reductions in interest, penalties, and fees they may have charged you. With three decades of experience in these types of negotiations, our tax professionals will maximize your savings and limit your losses.

There’s just no way I can pay what the IRS says I owe, I’m doomed!
Don’t worry, there are options. The IRS operates much like any business that collects money: If they suspect they can’t squeeze 100% of the amount you owe out of you they’ll consider alternatives. These alternatives include smaller installment payments spread out over several years, a reduction in the total debt you owe to a level you CAN afford, consideration for medical problems and disruptions in your income, etc. Just because they’ve sent you a letter and told you that they’ve assigned a certain tax debt to you doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t be flexible…provided your “case” is prepared by experienced tax specialists who can properly present your situation to their decision makers.

How long does it take?
Obviously each case is different from one person to the next, but in general the average amount of time it takes CarterCapital to prepare, submit, and negotiate a solution with the IRS takes between 30 days and six months.

We’ve had cases that have taken as little as ONE WEEK to resolve, that’s the speed at which our people work to get you free!
