The repercussions get more severe the longer your tax debt remains unsettled. The IRS has up to 10 years to attempt to collect your debt, and they have different strategies for getting their money.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s what can happen if you don\u2019t pay your taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-ll-receive-irs-notices-in-the-mail\"><strong>You\u2019ll receive IRS notices in the mail.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you have a balance due, the first thing the IRS does is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/individuals\/understanding-your-irs-notice-or-letter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">send you a tax bill<\/a> explaining how much you owe including penalties and interest. If you don\u2019t pay, the IRS will issue at least one more notice before taking further action.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-penalties-for-unpaid-taxes\"><strong>What are the penalties for unpaid taxes?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Failing to file and pay your tax bill on time will teach you an expensive lesson. There are two potential tax penalties: One for failing to file on time and one for failing to pay your taxes on time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Failure to File<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t file your taxes by the deadline, the penalty is five percent of your unpaid taxes up to a maximum of 25 percent. This is called a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/payments\/failure-to-file-penalty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Failure to File penalty<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once your tax return is more than 60 days late, the minimum penalty is $485 or 100 percent of the unpaid taxes, whichever is less.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Failure to Pay<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second penalty is for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/payments\/failure-to-pay-penalty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">failing to pay your tax bill<\/a>. This penalty is 0.5 percent of your unpaid taxes up to a maximum of 25 percent. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to file your taxes on time, even if you won\u2019t be able to pay on time.

The IRS interest rate is set every three months and is the federal short-term rate plus 3 percent. The current quarterly interest rate for individuals is 8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-federal-tax-lien-will-be-filed-against-your-property\"><strong>A federal tax lien will be filed against your property<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you refuse to pay your tax bill, the IRS may file a federal tax lien. This lets other creditors know that they have a right to your property, which includes your house, car, and financial assets. The tax lien is no longer directly reported to your credit bureau, but it is a public record, which can make it harder for you to get approved for new credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-the-irs-seize-my-property-for-unpaid-taxes\"><strong>Can the IRS seize my property for unpaid taxes?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you continue to ignore your tax debt, the IRS can levy your property. Just so we\u2019re clear, a tax lien only gives the IRS the right to your property. With a tax levy, they can actually start taking away your belongings.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commonly, they\u2019ll ask your employer to garnish your wages until your tax debt is satisfied.&nbsp; Alternatively, they may seize the money in your bank account. Once the tax levy is issued, the bank will hold on to your funds for 21 days and then turn it over to the IRS. This will give you time to try to resolve the issue.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although your income and bank accounts are fair game, there are certain properties the IRS can\u2019t touch. For instance, unemployment benefits, worker\u2019s compensation, income for court-ordered child support, and certain public assistance payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-may-receive-an-irs-summons\"><strong>You may receive an IRS summons<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IRS will only play the cat and mouse game for so long. If they\u2019re having a hard time collecting your tax debt or confirming how much you owe, you may receive a summons. This legal document will force you or a third party to meet with an IRS officer to provide information, paperwork and\/or testimony. The third party can be your financial institution, record keeper, or anyone with firsthand knowledge of your situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-my-passport-be-revoked-for-unpaid-taxes\"><strong>Can my passport be revoked for unpaid taxes?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Billions of Americans travel for business and leisure purposes. However, you can kiss your U.S. passport goodbye if you have a seriously delinquent tax debt. Once you owe the IRS more than $59,000, including penalties and interest, your State Department will be notified. As a result, you\u2019ll be denied when you try to apply for a new passport. Current passport holders can have their privileges revoked. If it happens while you\u2019re overseas, you may be granted a limited passport to return home. Other than that, you won\u2019t be able to use your passport again until you resolve your tax problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please remember, the IRS will not go away if you have an unpaid tax bill.
