Hey guys, Robert the Realtor back here. Gosh, I got a tough one today. I kind of debated whether or not to do this one. I'm gonna do it anyways. Okay. Can the IRS take your home? Let's break it down a little bit. Okay? Look in the background. At least I got smarter. I got my YouTube pulled up on there. Alright. So, can the IRS really take your home? The answer is yes, but there's more to it than you think. Here's what you need to know. Yes, it is possible. The IRS can seize your home if you have unpaid taxes, but it's a last resort after warnings and legal steps. Okay, it's just not gonna happen right out of the gate. How it happens, let's talk about that. You owe taxes and you haven't paid for a long time, resulting in a significant debt. You've used your home as collateral for a loan and failed to repay it. That's how it happens. The process the IRS sends a notice of intent to levy. Giving you 30 days to respond. If no actions taken, anybody file a lien freezing your assets. Okay. So you've used your home for collateral. You get the notice of intent to levy. You got 30 days to respond. Um, they file a lien freezing your assets if you don't take any action. And as a final step, they may proceed with a levy to seize and sell your property. IRS, I love you if you're listening. Okay, don't mess with me. I'm just educational purposes here only. Okay? How to protect yourself from this happening. Pay your taxes on time and respond promptly to the IRS notices, even though they don't respond promptly to yours. If you're struggling, consult a tax professional or set up a payment plan if you owe back taxes. You can do that. Okay, you just need to make an effort. Keep records of your payments, please. To dispute claims if needed. Um you may make the payment to them, but they may not know it. So make sure you keep records of it. Take advantage of tax deductions and credits to reduce your tax burden. So if you have taxes, just make sure you set up that payment plan. Okay? Make sure you're getting all your deductions as well, good tax accountant things like that for. Okay. Options if you're at risk. Offer and compromise. Settle your debt for less than the full amount owed. So remember that term. Offer and compromise with milk. Okay? Offer for one payment if you need to sell that full amount of. Currently, not collectible status. Temporarily halt collections if you can't pay. That's another good term. And appeals. Dispute the IRS's decision. There's been an error. So you can't appeal that decision on whether you owe taxes or not. Good luck. Okay. So the answer to the question is yes, they can. It rarely happens, and it's a very lengthy process, but they can. So just make sure you stay proactive. Seek professional help when you can and avoid those extreme situations. Alright. If you have any stories or questions dealing with the IRS, drop them in the comments. If I don't have the answer, maybe an accountant out there watching this will. Okay, let's just stay informed and protect your home and protect yourself against taxes. Again, IRS, if you're listening, I've paid all my taxes. I'm on. I'm with you guys, okay? So mess with me. All right. Again, if you like this, like it. If you have questions, go to the comments. If you want to watch more, subscribe. Okay. Talk about uh first-time homebuyer guy not too long ago, getting ready to do um one about credit scores when home buying. So a lot of stuff's built around real estate, mortgages, and real estate, being a realtor. All right, the things that I'm learning as I go and the things you need to know. So again, a kept under Robert the Realtor, out.
