An FL tax lien must have been filed, for example. If the taxes assessed go unpaid, the Florida Department of Revenue may pursue one or more of the following collection options:

• Garnish or Attach wages, salary or bank deposits.
• Issue a Tax Warrant, which directs and enables the sheriff or other employee of the FL Department of Revenue to levy and sell your property.

It is advisable that you seek immediate professional advice regarding your rights and options. An ounce of prevention is indeed worth a pound of cure when it comes to enforced tax collections.

If you have a past due balance, the Florida Department of Revenue may do any of the following:

• Freeze and Attach your bank account to pay taxes due.
• Attach and garnish 100% of any payments due or received as a result of the contract, as well as commissions.

An experiences tax resolution professional can usually halt or reverse a levy or garnishment – often within 24 hours.

If you owe back taxes, the state of Florida may attach and garnish the wages owed to you by an employer.  Wage attachments and garnishments are enforcable until the tax liability has been paid.
