State tax collection

Owe a State? They Come Faster Than the IRS.

State tax agencies do not work like the IRS. Many can levy your bank account, garnish your wages, and suspend your license with less warning and less process than the federal government. Find your state and see exactly how it collects, and what you can do about it.
