IRS problems rarely start with a levy or wage garnishment—they build over time.

Some early warning signs to watch for:
- Repeated IRS notices that keep increasing in urgency
- Deadlines you’ve missed or put off
- Language that shifts from “balance due” to “final notice” or “intent to levy”
- Notices about unpaid payroll taxes or unfiled returns

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, but ignoring these letters can lead to serious collection actions like bank levies or wage garnishments.

The earlier you act, the more options you may have.

At COTTS LAW, we help individuals and businesses resolve serious IRS collection problems before they escalate. If you’re receiving notices and aren’t sure what they mean, getting guidance now can make a real difference.

If this sounds familiar, don’t wait—reach out and explore your options.

Unpaid payroll taxes are one of the few business debts the IRS can collect from you personally.

The Trust Fund Recovery Penalty allows the IRS to assess owners, officers, and even bookkeepers individually. Anyone deemed responsible for collecting and remitting payroll taxes can be exposed.

Signs it's time to get help:

🔹 Payroll tax deposits have been missed or delayed
🔹 The IRS has requested a meeting or interview
🔹 Notices about employment taxes have started arriving

You have the right to speak to the IRS on your own. The question is whether you should.

IRS representatives are trained to gather information and advance the government’s position. Statements made casually can become part of the official record. Without a clear understanding of procedure and legal boundaries, you may unintentionally weaken your position.

Without professional representation, you risk:

🔹 Providing unnecessary or harmful information
🔹 Missing critical deadlines
🔹 Limiting your negotiation options

At Cotts Law, we advocate strategically and ensure communications remain within the proper legal framework.

Do not navigate IRS negotiations alone. Schedule a complimentary consultation: www.cottslaw.com

What to do if the IRS is threatening to seize property here in Corpus Christ, Texas

When the IRS threatens to seize property, it means your tax situation has moved beyond routine notices and into the enforcement phase. For taxpayers in Corpus Christi and across South Texas, this stage often comes as a shock, especially when earlier letters were ignored or misunderstood. Property seizure is not the IRS’s first step, but it is a legally authorized tool once specific notice requirements are met.

This free guide explains when and how the IRS can seize property, what notices signal real risk, how the process works under federal law, and what actions can stop or reverse enforcement. It also addresses how property seizure affects Texas taxpayers specifically and what practical options exist to protect assets before irreversible damage occurs.

Most IRS nightmares begin with one unopened letter. Enforcement builds in stages:

🔹 Notices arrive while penalties and interest stack up
🔹 A federal tax lien can attach to your home or property
🔹 Bank levies can freeze and seize your accounts
🔹 Wage garnishment can take a portion of every paycheck

The earlier you act, the more options stay on the table. Settlements, installment agreements, and penalty relief are all easier to pursue before collections escalate.

When a Texas Army National Guard member came to us, he'd already spent three years trying to untangle an IRS identity theft mess on his own.

The stakes were bigger than a tax bill. The unresolved issue was jeopardizing his security clearance, and with it, his career.

We promised resolution in three months, and we delivered.

Every case is different, but having experienced and qualified representation can make the difference.
