If you owe back taxes, the IRS can take your home. They don’t need your permission. They don’t need to negotiate. All it takes is a final notice, and they can seize your property and sell it for far less than market value. In the past six months, this has been happening at an alarming rate. Homeowners who don’t take action are finding themselves forced out with little warning.

Don’t let this happen to you. Watch our video to learn how to protect your home and stop the IRS before it’s too late.

Why the IRS Is Seizing More Homes

IRS revenue officers are becoming more aggressive in their efforts to collect unpaid taxes. If they determine that a taxpayer is uncooperative, they escalate enforcement. First, they secure approval from a district manager. Then, they obtain a court order to seize the home an approval that is almost always granted. After that, they set a minimum bid and auction the home, often at a price well below market value.

Homeowners almost always lose in this process. A house worth $500,000 could be listed for just $300,000. If the IRS needs to recover a tax debt of $500,000, the homeowner could still be left owing money, with no house and no equity to recover.

Can You Get Your Home Back After an IRS Seizure?

Once the IRS seizes and sells a home, there is a 30-day redemption period where the owner can pay off the tax debt and reclaim the property. The problem? Most people who are at this stage don’t have the funds to do so. That’s why the focus should be on preventing the IRS from seizing your home in the first place.

How to Stop the IRS Before They Take Your Home

If you’ve received an LT11 or Letter 1058, you are running out of time. These final notices are not empty threats, they are the IRS’s last warning before legal action. Ignoring them almost guarantees enforcement.

Even if you can’t pay the full amount, there are options. Setting up a payment plan, negotiating an Offer in Compromise, or proving financial hardship may stop the IRS from taking further action. Selling your home voluntarily could also leave you in a much better financial position than allowing the IRS to seize it and auction it off at a loss.
