The Law Office of Patrick Smith, in neighboring Bedford, represents Colleyville professionals and business owners in IRS audits, underreporter and deficiency notices, payroll tax matters, liens, and offers in compromise.
The tax problems we see from Colleyville
Consultants, medical and dental practice owners, and real estate professionals pay tax through quarterly estimates. A few missed quarters compound into a balance with penalties, followed by collection notices and, if nothing is done, a federal tax lien recorded against the home.
A recorded lien complicates a sale or refinance. There are procedures to discharge a property from the lien, subordinate it to a new lender, or have it withdrawn after the debt is addressed, and each has its own application and standards.
