Now we’re in a really tough situation – because the IRS is the world’s most powerful collection agency. They can do some scary things like seize your home or bank accounts, garnish your wages, and a bunch of other things that no other collection agency can do. Your options often look something like this: pay the amount in full, or, pay it back over time with interest and penalties.
