A lien is a legal document that, when filed, allows the right to keep possession of property belonging to another person until a debt owed by that person is discharged. A tax lien is filed when an individual or business entity owes the Federal Government or State Tax Authority money due for unpaid taxes. The Internal Revenue Service will issue form 668-Y, Notice of Lien Filing - State Liens will vary from State-to-State. Liens are public record and filed in the respective county in which the individual or business entity resides and processed by the county recorder. Liens will attach to assets owned by the individual and/or business that is associated with the Taxpayer's Identification Number i.e. Social Security Number and/or Employer Identification Number. Liens can seriously impact your credit score and disqualify you from obtaining loans, credit, and is some cases as job. The tax lien will remain in place until the outstanding liability is paid in full, or the lien released.

A tax debt can be created instantaneously and accumulate quickly when returns are not filed because the IRS submits the return for them on their behalf. This process is referred to as an SFR (Substitute for Return). This is the worst form of taxation as it allows for zero deductions on the taxpayer's behalf. Capstone can prepare your missing returns for you and in many cases we can reduce the liability that has accrued because of the SFR filing.

For the most part, Capstone is able to stop most forms of collections as soon as our client gives us authority in the case to negotiate. If our services are right for you, we will file Power of Attorney to negotiate on your behalf. This form is very important as it allows Capstone authority to act on your behalf and in your best interest. It means the IRS must contact us directly and not bother you with calls and threats. It means Capstone has the authority to implement a hold on collections and thereafter implement a strategy to resolve the matter and put an end to the collections case.
