Can the IRS take your retirement account?

The honest answer: it can—but that does not mean it will.

Before an IRS levy, taxpayers are generally entitled to notices and an opportunity for a hearing. And because retirement savings are meant for future financial security, the IRS has special procedures for levying retirement assets, including considering other collection options first.

The worst move? Panicking and cashing out a 401(k) or IRA on your own. An early withdrawal can create additional taxes, possible penalties, and long-term financial damage—without necessarily resolving the underlying tax issue.

If you receive an IRS notice, act early. Options may include payment arrangements, hardship-based collection relief, or other resolution strategies based on your facts.

Don’t let fear make the decision for you. Get clear on your actual exposure before taking action.

DO YOUR JOB. DO NO HARM.

A recent tax-resolution case was a sobering reminder: receiving a large IRS refund does not necessarily mean the return was examined or approved.

Years later, an improper six-figure refund had grown—through repayment demands, interest, penalties, and collection activity—into a tax debt approaching seven figures. Bankruptcy did not provide the protection the taxpayer expected, and the IRS resumed collections.

The lesson? When facing serious tax debt, the facts matter: how the debt arose, assessment dates, accuracy of the balance, bankruptcy history, and the IRS collection timeline.

A qualified tax professional should investigate, explain the risks, and pursue every lawful option. But no ethical professional should promise a “secret” way to avoid taxes, a guaranteed bankruptcy outcome, or an IRS settlement for “pennies on the dollar.”

Advocate for the client. Don’t mislead the client.

The IRS collection landscape may be getting tougher.

Recent guidance for Revenue Officers reinforces an asset-focused approach to resolving unpaid tax debt. Taxpayers may face pressure to explore available equity, investments, retirement funds, digital assets, and other property before certain payment alternatives are considered.

That can mean more detailed financial questions—and closer scrutiny of bank activity, recurring payment-app deposits, and the ability to pay.

For businesses, onsite visits to verify assets and operations may also be part of the process.

The key takeaway: don’t wait for a Revenue Officer to knock. Early preparation, clear documentation, and a strategy tailored to the current IRS procedures can make a meaningful difference.

If you have unresolved IRS tax debt, now is the time to understand your options.

Can you pay something toward your IRS balance—but not enough to pay it off in full?

A Partial Pay Installment Agreement (PPIA) may be an option.

Unlike a standard installment agreement, a PPIA is based on what your financial situation shows you can realistically afford each month. In some cases, the remaining unpaid balance may expire when the IRS collection period ends.

Important things to know:
• The IRS reviews these agreements periodically.
• Your income, expenses, and assets must be fully documented.
• A federal tax lien may be filed.
• You must stay current on all future tax filings and payments.

Every situation is different. If your IRS payment feels impossible, don’t assume you’re out of options.

An IRS Revenue Officer assignment is a serious escalation—but it does not mean you’re out of options.

Unlike automated notices, a Revenue Officer handles collection directly. They may request unfiled returns, financial statements, bank records, and proof that current tax obligations are being paid.

Ignoring the assignment can lead to liens, levies, summonses, and—in severe cases—asset seizure. But resolution may still be possible through an installment agreement, currently not collectible status, an offer in compromise, or penalty relief.

The key is compliance and a careful first response. What you say and submit becomes part of the case history.

If you’ve received a letter from an IRS Revenue Officer, don’t wait to understand your options.

Someone else may prepare your tax return—but you are still responsible for what you sign.

In July, a Miami man pleaded guilty to filing false tax returns that sought more than $4.2 million in refunds through returns for himself and trusts he controlled.

The takeaway: beware of any “too good to be true” tax strategy.

Red flags include:
• A promised refund before your documents are reviewed
• Fees based on a percentage of your refund
• A preparer who will not sign the return or provide a PTIN
• A refund directed somewhere other than your own account
• Claims of “secret” tax strategies the IRS supposedly does not want you to know about

Before signing, review every figure, ask questions, and make sure the return reflects your actual income, withholding, deductions, and credits.

A signature is not just a formality. It is your statement that the return is accurate.

If you are concerned about a return already filed, address it early. Waiting for an IRS notice usually limits your options.

Payroll taxes are not a cash-flow tool.

A Seattle restaurant owner recently pleaded guilty after failing to pay more than $1.4 million in employment taxes over a 10-year period, including more than $1 million withheld from employee paychecks.

The lesson for business owners is clear: amounts withheld for federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare are not funds to use for rent, inventory, or payroll. Delaying deposits can quickly lead to mounting penalties, personal exposure, IRS enforcement, and—in willful cases—criminal consequences.

If your business is behind on payroll tax deposits, don’t wait for another quarter to pass. Getting current on ongoing deposits and addressing the past-due balance early can preserve more resolution options.

The earlier you act, the more options you may have.

The Seattle case was announced by the U.S. Attorney’s Office on July 27, 2026. ([justice.gov](https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdwa/pr/seattle-restaurant-owner-pleads-guilty-failing-pay-over-employment-taxes-more-14?utm_source=openai))

Can’t pay the IRS all at once? You may still have a path forward.

An IRS Installment Agreement is a formal monthly payment plan that can help eligible taxpayers resolve tax debt over time rather than in one lump sum.

Once approved, an agreement can generally pause collection actions—such as bank levies and wage garnishments—as long as you make payments on time and stay current with future tax obligations.

The key is choosing a payment amount that is both realistic and sustainable. Agreeing to more than you can afford can create bigger problems down the road.

If you owe the IRS and need a manageable solution, understanding your installment agreement options is an important first step.

The IRS doesn’t always need a lawsuit—or a judge—to collect a tax debt.

After required notices, the IRS may be able to take administrative collection action, including:

• Bank levies that freeze accounts
• Wage garnishments that continue each pay period
• Offsets of tax refunds and certain government payments
• In some cases, seizure of business or personal assets

Waiting for a court date can mean waiting too long. If you’ve received IRS notices, taking action early may give you more options to address the balance before collection escalates.

Tax problems rarely improve by being ignored. Understanding your options is the first step toward protecting your income and assets.

Two Maryland brothers are each facing up to five years in federal prison after admitting they hid millions in income and funneled the money through a shell company to avoid paying taxes.

Dennis and Greg March, twin brothers from Berlin, Maryland, each pleaded guilty to one count of tax evasion. From 2017 through 2022, the brothers willfully evaded taxes on both their business and personal income while running several entities, including Elite Marketing Group LLC and Principal Law Group, with a third business partner.

The scheme came down to disguising income as business expenses. The brothers routed payments to a shell company they controlled, then treated those payments as business costs — when they were really distributions to themselves. They also skipped filing required business and personal tax returns altogether.

The money didn't sit still. Between 2017 and 2022, the brothers pulled more than $3.5 million in cash out of business accounts, and in 2021 they used scheme income to buy more than $2 million in Florida real estate, plus construction of two new homes.

In all, each brother concealed more than $4.5 million in income and failed to pay nearly $1.8 million in taxes. They're scheduled to be sentenced on November 6.

This case is a reminder that how you label a payment doesn't change what it actually is. Routing income through a shell company and calling it a business expense isn't a gray area — the IRS sees through it, and treating personal income as a deductible cost is one of the clearest paths from a tax problem to a criminal one.

If you have back taxes, unfiled returns, or concerns about how income has been reported in your business, don't wait for it to get worse. Contact Ron Friedman CPA today for a free consultation. We'll review your situation, explain your options, and help you take the next step toward resolving your tax problem.
