Helping You Take Your Life Back From Tax Problems

Tax debt is not just a negative number on a balance sheet or a periodic phone call or threatening letter from the IRS. Delinquent taxes have very real consequences that can affect nearly every aspect of your life. Tax debt can make it difficult to make a living, keep your home or other property or even access your savings. When tax debt becomes a problem of this magnitude, you need to contact an experienced tax attorney in San Jose. Edgar Law Group, LLP and our founder, San Jose tax lawyer Ronda Edgar, help clients throughout California confront their tax issues and remove the most onerous burdens the IRS and other revenue agencies can impose.

A San Jose Tax Attorney Can Help

The IRS and other revenue agencies, such as the California Franchise Tax Board, have numerous tools at their disposal for collecting delinquent taxes. It usually begins by assessing interest and penalties on the delinquent account. More seriously delinquent accounts, however, may face more extreme measures. While criminal sanctions are usually only available to punish willful and calculated conduct, other enforcement mechanisms may apply even in cases where the delinquency was due to carelessness or even mere error on the part of the taxpayer.

• Liens on real property – The IRS or other revenue agency can obtain a security interest against real estate you own. This can prevent you from selling the property without satisfying the lien.

• Wage garnishment – Revenue agencies can force your employer to withhold and turn over a percentage of your earnings from each paycheck until your tax debt is satisfied.

• Levies on property and accounts – The IRS can seize bank accounts and other personal and real property in order to satisfy an outstanding tax debt.

If a government revenue agency has employed any of these serious enforcement mechanisms against you, you need to contact a tax attorney in San Jose. Our principal attorney, Ronda Edgar, uses her substantial tax and accounting knowledge to help clients confront tax debt and put a stop to these intrusive IRS enforcement actions. She negotiates with revenue agencies to remove liens, stop wage garnishment and arrange a compromise or payment plan for her clients.
