Massachusetts DOR Collection and Lien Defense

Introduction

There are many steps required before the Massachusetts Department of Revenue ("DOR") can start the collection process and obtain a tax lien or levy. If the taxpayer has been paying attention or has been properly represented, the taxpayer should have had many opportunities to find a resolution before the collection and lien process starts. As you may have already found out, continuing to ignore the DOR is NOT going to make the problem go away or get any smaller. You have made it this far to exploring your options, do yourself a favor and review these materials and then response to the IRS either on your own or with a tax attorney or CPA.

The Massachusetts tax collection defense attorneys at Mooney McGinn LLP have successfully obtained concessions from the DOR in tax collection enforcement matters. The tax collection and tax lien defense attorneys at Mooney McGinn LLP work within the procedural rules to try to start collection forbearance negotiations with the DOR.

Effective negotiations must include cooperation and openness with the DOR. Balance and fairness is critical in the defense and settlement process. On the other hand, if litigation is the only solution it is always available.
