Absent special circumstances, an offer will not be accepted if the IRS believes the liability can be paid in full as a lump sum or through a payment agreement.<\/li>\n<li>A\u00a0<strong>tax lien<\/strong> is a government claim on your property and is generally placed when a business or individual taxpayer fails to pay taxes owed. It does not mean taxation authorities will seize your property, it just ensures they get first right to your property over other creditors.<\/li>\n<li>A <strong>tax\u00a0levy<\/strong> is the legal seizure of taxpayer assets to satisfy back taxes owed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Highlights of the 5-year comparison are described below.<\/p>\n<h2>Returns Filed With Additional Tax Due<\/h2>\n<p>There has been a definite uptick in the number of files returned with additional tax due over the last 5 years.
