IRS tax debt can quickly spiral out of control — especially in high-cost cities like Los Angeles. Penalties, interest, and levies can make a manageable debt feel overwhelming. If you’re behind on your taxes or have received a notice from the IRS or California Franchise Tax Board (FTB), you’re not alone — and you’re not without options.
CuraDebt has helped thousands of Californians resolve tax debt legally and efficiently, avoiding wage garnishments, liens, and bankruptcy. Our IRS tax debt specialists know the intricacies of California tax law and federal resolution programs. We create personalized plans based on your situation — including offers in compromise, installment agreements, or hardship designations.
Why Tax Debt Is a Growing Issue in Los Angeles
Los Angeles is home to millions of taxpayers, many of whom are small business owners, gig workers, or self-employed professionals. Due to inconsistent income, lack of withholding, or past mistakes, many Angelenos find themselves in trouble with the IRS. Once the IRS files a tax lien or begins garnishing wages, it becomes even harder to recover without professional help.
- California ranks among the top 5 states for total IRS collections.
- Los Angeles residents often face both federal (IRS) and state (FTB) tax penalties.
- Failure to act on IRS notices can lead to bank levies, asset seizures, and credit damage.
If you owe more than $10,000 or have years of unfiled returns, it’s crucial to take action before collection escalates. CuraDebt’s proven process can protect your income, prevent garnishments, and potentially reduce what you owe by thousands.
