Marietta, GA – The IRS collected $98.4 billion through enforcement actions in FY2023, according to the IRS Data Book FY2023. And enforcement activity has continued climbing since. Liens, levies, and wage garnishments that were paused or throttled during the pandemic years are being issued again at full volume. For individuals and small business owners in the Marietta area who’ve been quietly hoping the IRS would move on, that hope is running out. Fair Tax Solutions, led by CPA Len Nelms, is issuing a direct warning: the IRS doesn’t forget, and it doesn’t slow down.
Key Facts: The IRS filed 669,000+ federal tax liens in FY2023, a figure that had dropped significantly during pandemic-era enforcement pauses. Meaning a substantial backlog of unresolved cases is now being worked (IRS Data Book FY2023) The IRS issued over 1.8 million levies in FY2023, targeting wages, bank accounts, and other assets. A direct reversal of the reduced enforcement posture maintained between 2020 and 2022 (IRS Data Book FY2023) Practitioners working in tax resolution consistently report that taxpayers who respond to IRS notices within the first 30 days have significantly more settlement options available than those who wait Fair Tax Solutions has worked with 1,500+ clients over 20+ years to halt collection actions, negotiate directly with the IRS, and restore compliance CPA Len Nelms and his team maintain specialized access to IRS resolution programs, including Offer in Compromise, Installment Agreements, and Currently Not Collectible status Fair Tax Solutions offers risk-free consultations. No cost to find out exactly where you stand
The IRS enforcement machine runs on timelines you don’t control. A Notice of Federal Tax Lien damages your credit and clouds your property. A wage levy starts pulling money from your paycheck, sometimes within weeks of a final notice, with no court order required. A bank levy can drain an account in a single action. These aren’t threats designed to scare you into compliance. They’re automated collection steps that execute on a schedule, and each one narrows the options available to resolve the underlying debt.
The critical window for intervention is before collection escalates. Not after. Once a levy is in place, reversing it requires formal IRS action, supporting documentation, and in many cases, a demonstrated plan for full resolution. That’s exactly what Fair Tax Solutions is built to do. Using a structured 4-step resolution process, assess, represent, negotiate, resolve, Len Nelms and his team take over direct communication with the IRS, halt active collection actions where possible, and build a case for the most favorable settlement available under current IRS guidelines. Consider a typical case: a self-employed contractor in Cobb County receives an IRS Final Notice of Intent to Levy after ignoring two prior notices. By the time they call, the window for a simple payment arrangement has closed. Getting a levy released now requires an immediate representation agreement, a financial disclosure, and a formal appeal. Doable, but more complex and more costly than acting on the first notice would have been.
Not every tax resolution firm is the same. National chains like Optima Tax Relief or JK Harris process high volumes of cases. That volume model works for straightforward situations. It doesn’t work when you need someone who knows your case, can pick up the phone with the IRS on your behalf, and has the CPA credentials to back up every position taken. The difference between a resolved case and an unresolved one often comes down to whether the person negotiating actually understands the tax code or is reading from a script. There’s no guarantee the IRS will accept any given settlement offer. The IRS Data Book FY2023 shows Offer in Compromise acceptance rates remain selective. But the odds of a favorable outcome drop sharply when the representation isn’t technically credible.
The IRS collected nearly $100 billion through enforcement in a single fiscal year. That number doesn’t come from people who were found and forced to pay. It comes largely from people who waited, assumed the problem would resolve itself, or hired the wrong help too late. If you’ve got unresolved IRS debt, an open lien, or a garnishment eating your paycheck right now. The only expensive move left is doing nothing.
