Collection Actions

A taxpayer who owes money to the Department of Revenue will receive several letters about his or her debt. The taxpayer may also receive phone calls from the Department of Revenue.

If you receive a notice that you owe money to the Department of Revenue, it is extremely important to contact us immediately to avoid collection actions.

Actions taken may include the following:

• Sending a certified Final Notice Before Seizure Letter
• Filing a tax lien against your property in the county where the property resides. A tax lien is the public notice of debt that attaches to your property and your rights to property. Once filed, it is public record and could harm your credit rating.
• Levying your wages, bank account or other contractual payments. Certain income, such as Social Security or disability payment, is protected from levying.
• Offsetting of your state or federal income tax refund may occur.
• Offsetting of your state or federal vendor payment may occur.
• Requesting an injunction from the courts preventing your business from operating.
• Filing an assessment against the Corporate Officers or an assesment against Limited Liability Company Managers.
• Filing a State Claim.
• Performing a License or Permit Revocation
• Seizure of assets​​.
