Do You Owe State Tax that You Cannot Pay? Seattle Tax Lawyer Provides Options
Washington Tax Law Firm Focuses on Tax Problems
You’ve prepared your tax return, and you owe money to the Washington State Department of Revenue (DOR). But you can’t afford to pay it, so what should you do?
Ignoring tax debt will only make it worse. Tax authorities like the Washington State DOR have the ability to collect unpaid taxes from you in a variety of ways, including:
- Tax liens
- Property and bank account seizure
- Wage garnishment
- What is a Tax Lien?
A tax lien is the first step that the Washington State Department of Revenue takes in seizing your property. It will prevent you from selling or refinancing the property and ruin your credit score. Once a tax lien is in place, the WA DOR can levy on your property, meaning they can seize your paycheck, withdraw money from your bank account, and sell your property at auction.
It’s possible to get a tax lien removed, stop a garnishment or have money returned before your debts are paid, as long as you act quickly by retaining qualified legal counsel who can advocate for you and protect your rights.
