Received an LT38 Notice? Resolve Your Tax Debt Before the IRS Resumes Collection Enforcement
Thousands of Americans who received IRS notice LT38 are rushing to claim their tax relief benefits as the IRS resumes enforced collection actions.
The IRS paused collection efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic but is returning to full-scale enforcement in 2024. To kickstart this process, the agency is sending LT38 notices to millions of Americans with tax debt, signaling the urgent need for resolution.
With the IRS back in full force, a record number of taxpayers are applying for the Fresh Start Program to reduce or even completely erase their debts. Thanks to a budget increase from the Inflation Reduction Act, the IRS is approving more applications than ever before.
When taxpayers fill out our Tax Relief Survey, they can see if they qualify for the IRS Fresh Start Program and begin their journey toward tax resolution in minutes.
The LT38 notice serves as a final warning, reminding recipients of their outstanding tax debt and outlining potential payment options. If you received this notice at any time in 2024, you must take swift action to avoid further financial damage.
This year alone, the IRS has garnished and seized over $1.3 billion from Americans who ignore their tax debts. The agency continues to expand its force of Revenue Officers and Agents tasked with collection enforcement.
On the LT38, the IRS also explains how the federal government automatically waived failure-to-file penalties in 2020 and 2021 thanks to a pandemic-related relief program.
However, tax penalties are now being assessed which will quickly add up: roughly 5.5% of the unpaid taxes each month – plus interest charges that accrue daily.
If you received an IRS notice or have overdue taxes and can’t afford to pay them in full, qualifying for tax relief before the IRS escalates your case is critical.
