IRS Collections

IRS Collections Attorney | Protect Your Rights Against IRS Enforcement

If you owe back taxes, the IRS has powerful tools to collect what it believes you owe. These collection actions can include tax liens, wage garnishments, bank levies, and property seizures. When the IRS begins aggressive collection efforts, working with an experienced tax attorney can help protect your rights and identify options to resolve the debt.

At Gellner Law, we represent individuals and businesses facing IRS collection actions. Our firm works directly with IRS agents and revenue officers to negotiate practical solutions and stop enforcement actions whenever possible.

Understanding IRS Collection Actions

The IRS may pursue collection when taxes remain unpaid after notices and demands for payment. Common IRS enforcement actions include:

Federal tax liens placed on property or assets
Bank levies that seize funds from financial accounts
Wage garnishments that redirect income to the IRS
Property seizures involving vehicles, real estate, or other assets

These actions can cause serious financial hardship if not addressed quickly. Legal representation can help ensure the IRS follows proper procedures and respects your taxpayer rights.

Strategies for Resolving IRS Tax Debt

Every IRS collection case is different. Our firm evaluates your financial situation and develops a strategy designed to reduce the impact of IRS enforcement.

Possible solutions may include:

Offers in Compromise to settle tax debt for less than the full amount owed
Installment Agreements that allow manageable monthly payments
Requests to release tax levies or liens
Penalty abatement to reduce additional charges
Collection Due Process hearings to challenge IRS actions

If negotiations do not resolve the matter, our firm can also protect your rights through litigation when necessary.

Client Testimonials

She saved me tens of thousands of dollars.

I have used Jennifer Gellner as a tax attorney over the course of a dozen years. She did an amazing job of sorting out a horrendous tax problem for me back in 2009. She saved me tens of thousands of dollars. Her fees are astonishingly fair for the incredible ability she has to deal with the IRS. In my most recent tax issue, she was able to counsel me very quickly and effectively. Again her fees --even over the course of many years--were still affordable for me even though I am on a fixed income. I highly recommend her staff as well. They were very respectful and got me the best time for my appointment. In conclusion, I highly recommend Jennifer Gellner, Esq.
