IRS Business Closures: Protect Yourself with Steve Perry

Can the IRS Shut Down My Business for Unpaid Taxes?

Yes, it can and it happens more often than most business owners realize. One letter. One visit. One levy notice. That’s all it takes for the IRS to freeze your accounts or padlock your front door.

If you’ve received a notice or even suspect IRS action, contact Steve Perry, EA at Books, Taxes & More today. Don’t wait for your business to become another casualty. Call (678) 717-9818 now for a confidential consultation.

The IRS has more power than any other creditor. When your business owes payroll taxes, back income taxes, or unfiled returns, the IRS can place liens on property, garnish income, and even seize your operating assets. You could wake up one morning to find your bank account emptied and your merchant account frozen.

That’s not fear. That’s reality. The IRS calls this “enforced collection.”

But this is where Steve Perry changes the script.

The Truth About IRS Business Shutdowns

The IRS doesn’t show mercy to businesses with unpaid payroll or employment taxes. If they believe you’re ignoring your tax obligations, they can classify your account as “in jeopardy” and move to shut you down. Once that happens, your employees’ checks bounce, your suppliers cut you off, and your reputation takes a beating.

Here’s what’s at risk:

  • Frozen business bank accounts within hours of an IRS levy

  • Seizure of essential assets, trucks, or equipment

  • Revocation of business licenses or government contracts

  • Permanent damage to credit and vendor relationships

Many business owners think they can “wait it out,” but every day you delay makes things worse. IRS systems are automated, and enforcement doesn’t stop because you’re trying to figure it out.

Steve Perry, EA, knows those systems from the inside out. Using his knowledge of IRS procedure manuals, taxpayer rights, and settlement options, he stops IRS action, often before it hits the point of no return.

Call (678) 717-9818 to stop enforcement before it destroys your business.
