There’s nothing quite like the personal nightmare of getting tangled up with state tax liens. The government is none-too-forgiving when it comes to what it thinks you owe it. If you have a different opinion, well, that’s too bad, as far as they’re concerned.
A good tax attorney is your best bet for dealing with Federal Tax Liens. He will know all the pitfalls waiting for the unwary.
Whatever you do, be firm. Don’t let them walk all over you. Remember that most any government debt is negotiable.
