The Problem

Why Businesses With IRS Debt Are Stuck

An active federal tax lien locks your business out of the conventional financing system — while the IRS enforcement clock keeps running.

🚫

Banks Say No

Traditional banks and SBA lenders decline all applications when a federal tax lien is on record. Your collateral is already claimed by the IRS.

⏳

IRS Won't Wait

From a missed deposit to a bank levy takes as little as 90-120 days. Once the IRS freezes your account, you have 21 days before funds are swept.

🔐

Personal Liability Grows

The Trust Fund Recovery Penalty (TFRP) makes business owners personally liable for 100% of unpaid payroll taxes — surviving even business closure.

📊

Debt Compounds Daily

IRS interest (8% annually) + failure-to-deposit penalties (up to 15%) stack on top of each other. Every day unresolved costs more.

📄

Contracts at Risk

Federal contractors with active tax liens are flagged in SAM.gov and can lose contract eligibility — cutting off the revenue needed to pay the IRS.

💸

No Way Out

IRS negotiation (OIC, installment plans) keeps the lien active for years. The only way to release the lien quickly is to pay the IRS — which requires a lender that understands tax debt.

The Solution

How Tax Funds Resolves Your IRS Debt

We connect your business with specialized lenders who operate entirely outside the conventional banking system — and know exactly how to navigate active IRS enforcement.

1

Apply — 2 Minutes

Submit your business information, approximate IRS debt amount, and contact details. No hard credit pull. No upfront fees.

Day 1
2

Lender Review

Our lending network reviews your cash flow — not your tax history. Underwriting is based on your ability to repay the loan, not your IRS situation.

Days 1-3
3

IRS Subordination

The lender obtains an IRS Certificate of Subordination (IRC 6325(d)), taking a priority position over the existing IRS lien to enable funding.

Days 3-14
4

IRS Paid — Lien Released

The lender wires full payment directly to the IRS. The IRS issues a Certificate of Release within 30 days. You repay the lender on a fixed schedule.

Days 7-21
What We Finance

Every Type of Business Tax Debt

From IRS 941 payroll tax debt to active bank levies, our lender network handles scenarios that traditional banks refuse to touch.

📋

IRS 941 Payroll Tax Debt

The most common type. Financing pays the IRS in full, stops the TFRP personal liability clock, and releases enforcement holds on your business.

Active IRS lien blocking your banking access? We use IRS subordination to fund your loan and release the lien within 30 days of payoff.

🚨

IRS Bank Levy — Emergency

⚠

Trust Fund Recovery Penalty

TFRP makes you personally liable for 100% of employee payroll tax withholdings. Paying the business debt stops this personal assessment.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tax Funds a lender?
No. Tax Funds is a financing marketplace — we connect businesses with specialized alternative lenders who operate outside the conventional banking system. We are not a lender, CPA firm, or law firm. We earn a referral fee when a match is made between a business and a lender.
Can my business qualify with a federal tax lien on record?
Yes. This is specifically what our lender network handles. Traditional banks cannot lend to businesses with active federal tax liens. Our lenders use the IRS tax lien subordination process (IRC Section 6325(d)) to take a priority position, fund the loan, and pay the IRS in full — releasing the lien.
How fast can financing stop an IRS bank levy?
The IRS bank levy hold period is 21 days. Financing arranged within that window can stop the sweep and result in the return of frozen funds. 24-72 hour funding is achievable for qualified businesses. If you have an active bank levy, this is a time-critical emergency — apply immediately.
What is the minimum tax debt amount?
$10,000 in IRS or state business tax debt minimum. There is no maximum — our lender network handles tax debt from $10,000 to $5,000,000+.
Will this affect my personal credit?
The initial application through Tax Funds does not trigger a hard credit pull. Individual lenders in our network may require a soft or hard pull during underwriting — this will be disclosed before any credit inquiry is made.
Does financing stop the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty (TFRP)?
Yes. When the business's 941 payroll tax debt is paid in full through financing, the trust fund taxes are satisfied — eliminating the basis for TFRP personal assessment against responsible persons. The TFRP personal liability clock stops at payoff.
