Who Collects Tax Debt in Phoenix, AZ?
Phoenix Tax Attorneys for Federal and Arizona State Tax Debt
Phoenix taxpayers answer to two tax authorities: the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for federal taxes and the Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) for state taxes. Each operates under its own procedures, timelines, and legal risks, and J. David Tax Law’s tax attorneys build the defense around the agency pursuing the case. The two items below describe how the firm responds when each authority takes action.
Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) collects federal taxes and enforces unpaid balances by garnishing wages, levying bank accounts, and seizing assets. Our IRS tax attorneys respond by invoking your legal rights, challenging procedural flaws, and negotiating settlements through an Offer in Compromise, an Installment Agreement, or Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status. The firm has removed garnishments in less than 48 hours and halted audits before formal assessments occur.
Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR)
The Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) pursues unpaid sales tax, use tax, and payroll obligations, particularly from Phoenix-based contractors, retailers, and cash-heavy businesses. Our Arizona tax lawyers defend clients in audits, appeals, and penalty negotiations, and intervene early to reduce assessments or stop tax liens before they affect business operations.
