I understand they can place leins on money owed. But here’s the deal — all my taxes have been filed and refunds received. My husband’s business is another question; it still has outstanding taxes that he and the accountant are working on. Last week the department of revenue for our state garnished he business account , emptying what was in there. Makes it sort of hard to live and pay bills. I received notice thru credit monitoring that the IRS has now “inquired” into my credit. Where in any document or agreement or law do they get that power? They are not offering me credit, a job nor have they contacated me stating i owe anything. Is this their preemptive way of getting ready to garnish me for his debt?

In any case, i’m emptying my account in the morning so that i can pay bills like the morgtage and child care and groceries.
