Can the IRS take my only car away to pay for taxes I owe for 05 & 06, and it's the only car I have to drive.

Answer 1

Yes, but they generally will not do so if you work out a payment agreement with them. Also, you should be aware that the IRS cannot disturb the peace in taking any of your property. You will want to consult your local law, but here in Colorado that means that if you block in your car, you park in a secure garadge, or you scream and yell if you see your car being towed, then the IRS will have to wait and try another day.

Answer 2

Let's see, you made like $10,000 and you are saying that on less than $1000 a month, you supported not only yourself, but 2 children. At $10,000 of income, you would qualify for over $4000 of EIC. The IRS isn't questioning that you gave birth to the children (the birth certificates were enough to prove that), but rather that the children didn't support themselves (presumably neither had a job) and that you can prove they lived with you for more than 6 months of each of those years and thus meet the requirements to claim EIC. In addition to school records (which doesn't always show enough time), you could also produce medical records, social work records (on very low pay, you would could have qualified for food stamps and housing assistance and these records would show if you were claiming children--and the IRS probably has access to those records and would know if you DIDN'T claim your children), the rental lease where you lived showing that they lived with you, affidavits of landlords and neighbors that they children were living with you, etc. If you did not present all of your evidence, get it. Submit that for audit reconsideration. There is also a chance that the another parent or relative also claimed the children for EIC purposes. The IRS would ask them for the same proof. If they have overlapping claims, the IRS would have to decide whose proof was more truthful or if equally valid, use tie-breakers. This is SERIOUS. If you are found to have fraudulently claimed the children when they were living with someone else, you will be banned from the EIC program for 2 or 10 MORE years. <> Okay, so now you made $50,000 so it's not an issue of EIC. How about other credits such as education? If these are college age students, did you have carefully fill out the support test worksheet? If the children had good jobs and loans to pay for college, they may have supported themselves which leaves you ineligible to claim them.

Answer 3

The IRS are the biggest terrorist organization in the world. They are criminals, liars, fascists, and sodomites. They have no legal authority in Title 26 to seize your car. Simply look at look 26 USC 7608 and 73011-7304. The IRS can only seize article subject to forfeiture. Neither you car, house, boat, paycheck, or bank account apply. The income tax is a scam, 99% of Americans are not required to pay. Congress knows this and still allows the IRS to steal TRILLIONS of dollars from us. This must end. Most IRS agents deserve to get sodomized by an AIDS infected Hippotamus

Answer 4

The IRS is a branch of the Federal Government.

I do know that they can sieze any and all assets if they deem so in order to recoup what you may owe them.

My proof is that of a friend that filed Bankruptcy, they took what was needed to cover the debt owed!

If I were you, take care of the debt and get them off your back A>S>A>P>

Answer 5

Enter in to a payment arrangement with them. That should stop any other collection efforts.

The IRS (nor anyone else for that matter) doesn't really want your car but, if it is worth some money and you are ignoring their collection efforts, they can and will seize it.

Answer 6

They can. Talk to them and see if you can set up some plan to pay off what you owe - but don't miss a payment, or your car and any other assets will be gone.

If you've already defaulted on a payment plan, check out public transportation schedules.

Answer 7

Not if you tell them it is an AMC Pacer; they won't take it from you.
