Unpaid taxes refer to any tax liabilities that have not been fully satisfied by the taxpayer by the due date. These may include income taxes, property taxes, or other state and federal tax obligations. Unresolved tax debts can trigger enforcement actions and increase the amount owed through penalties and interest.
The process typically begins with reviewing your tax records and identifying outstanding balances. Next, negotiations with tax authorities aim to establish payment plans or settlements. Throughout, documenting communications and understanding deadlines are critical to achieving a successful resolution.
Familiarizing yourself with key terms related to unpaid taxes helps you better understand your rights and options throughout the resolution process. Knowing these definitions empowers you to make informed decisions.
