IRS Property Seizure — Protect Your Assets from IRS Enforcement
The IRS can seize and sell your property — including real estate, vehicles, and business assets — to satisfy tax debt. Property seizures are rare but legal. Knowing your rights and acting quickly can prevent or recover seized property.
How the IRS Handles This
The IRS issues multiple notices before seizing property. A Revenue Officer is typically involved. Once seized, the IRS appraises and auctions the property, applying proceeds to your debt.
DIY Steps to Resolve This
- 1
Request a CDP hearing immediately if you received a Final Notice of Intent to Levy
- 2
Propose an alternative resolution (OIC, IA, CNC) to prevent seizure
- 3
If property is already seized, request return under IRC Section 6343 within 9 months
- 4
Consult a tax attorney immediately — property seizure requires professional intervention
