The Internal Revenue Service has been increasing the number of liens that places on taxpayers. Some watchdog groups are saying that this action actually hurts the taxpayers who want to pay. The issue is coming to a head soon while both sides continue to debate the issue.
The IRS says that liens are only placed after the taxpayer has been notified that they are delinquent. They say taxpayers are given many chances to pay or to enroll in a payment plan. I am sure this issue will continue to be debated.
