IRS Collection Activity Is Picking Up—Let’s Talk About It

If you’ve gotten an IRS letter recently, you’re not the only one. A lot of folks I talk to—clients, business owners, even other tax professionals—are seeing the same thing: the IRS is getting more active when it comes to collections.

They’re filing more liens, approving fewer Offers in Compromise (OIC), and tightening up how they handle IRS payment plans. And honestly? It’s catching a lot of people off guard.

I made the quick video below to walk you through what’s going on, what these changes mean, and what you can do if you’re dealing with tax debt or unfiled returns.

🔍 Here’s What I’m Seeing:

  • More aggressive collection actions, like IRS liens and wage garnishments

  • A drop in OIC approvals (that’s when you try to settle your tax debt for less)

  • Stricter rules around getting into or keeping an IRS payment plan

  • A big increase in IRS notices being sent to individuals and business owners

If you’re already working on a tax resolution strategy—or just trying to figure out your next step—this video will help you get a clearer picture of what’s happening.

🎥 Take a few minutes to watch this video below. I break it all down in plain English.
