Because of COVID-19, tax revenue is down for all levels of government. To make up this shortfall, the IRS and MD are looking for money and increasing their collection efforts to squeeze every penny out of you. Enforcement actions can include holding up your license or car registration, garnishing your paycheck or freezing your bank account.
The good news is NOW is the time to settle. If your income is down and you owe taxes, now is the best time to make a deal with the tax collector and get out of tax debt. When things return to "normal", you will be ready with your fresh start!
