(FLORIDA)- It’s a nightmare none of us want to find ourselves in, but when you are in deep with the IRS and have payments past due, the IRS will likely put a tax lien on your home. You may find yourself in a legal battle to protect your property.
“LITC can assist clients faced with IRS property liens by resolving their tax debt, and then by petitioning the IRS for the removal of the lien,” said FRLS lawyer Roberto Suarez. We understand the stress and anxiety that comes with a federal tax lien on your home. Roberto, along with our team of experienced tax professionals and attorneys can provide guidance and support throughout the process.
Dealing with a tax lien on your home can be a stressful and overwhelming experience. Not only can it affect your credit score and financial standing, but it also puts your home at risk of being seized by the government. However, it’s important to remember that you’re not alone and may just qualify for free legal aid.

First, let’s define what a federal tax lien is. A federal tax lien is a legal claim the government places on your property, including your home, as a result of unpaid taxes. This means that the government has the right to seize and sell your property to pay off the debt owed.
