The Problem

Why Businesses With IRS Debt Are Stuck

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

Banks Say No

Traditional banks and SBA lenders reject all applications when a federal tax lien is on record. Your collateral is already claimed by the IRS — no exceptions.

The IRS Won't Wait

From a missed payroll deposit to a bank levy takes as little as 90-120 days. A bank levy freezes your account within 21 days of the notice — then funds are swept.

Personal Liability Grows

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

Debt Compounds Daily

IRS interest (8% annually) plus failure-to-deposit penalties up to 15% stack on top of each other. Every day unresolved adds more to the balance you already can't pay.

Contracts at Risk

Federal contractors with active tax liens are flagged in SAM.gov. State government vendors face the same risk — cutting off the revenue needed to pay the IRS.

Trapped With No Exit

IRS payment plans keep the lien active for up to 6 years. OIC takes 12-24 months. The only fast exit is to pay the IRS — which requires a lender that understands tax debt.

The Solution

How Tax Funds Resolves Your IRS Debt

Our lender network operates completely outside the conventional banking system — and knows exactly how to navigate active IRS enforcement.

1

Apply — 2 Minutes

Submit your business information and approximate IRS debt amount. No hard credit pull. No upfront fees required to apply.

Day 1
2

Lender Review

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

Days 1-3
3

IRS Subordination

The lender obtains an IRS Certificate of Subordination (IRC §6325(d)) to take priority position over the existing IRS lien and fund the payoff.

Days 3-14
4

Lien Released — Done

The lender pays the IRS in full. The IRS issues a Certificate of Release within 30 days. You repay the lender on a fixed schedule. IRS is out of the picture.

Days 7-30
What We Finance

Every Type of Business Tax Debt

From 941 payroll tax debt to active bank levies, our 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 all enforcement holds on your business.

Learn more

Federal Tax Lien Financing

Active IRS lien blocking your banking access? We use IRS subordination to fund and release the lien within 30 days, restoring your credit access.

Learn more

IRS Bank Levy — Emergency

Bank account frozen? You have 21 days before the IRS sweeps the funds. Emergency financing stops the levy and can recover frozen assets.

Learn more

Trust Fund Recovery Penalty

TFRP makes you personally liable for 100% of withheld payroll taxes. Paying the business debt through financing stops this personal assessment.

Learn more

State Tax Debt Financing

State tax liens, state levies, and state enforcement actions across all 50 states — alongside or separate from IRS federal tax debt situations.

Learn more

OIC Bridge Financing

Keep your business running during the 12-24 month Offer in Compromise review period, or fund the required OIC offer payment itself.

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 with active IRS liens. Our lenders use the IRS tax lien subordination process (IRC §6325(d)) to take priority position, fund the loan, pay the IRS in full, and release 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 return of frozen funds. 24-72 hour funding is achievable for qualified businesses. If you have an active levy, apply immediately — time is critical.
What is the minimum tax debt amount?+
$10,000 in IRS or state business tax debt minimum. No maximum — our network handles tax debt from $10,000 to $5,000,000+.
Will applying affect my personal credit?+
The initial Tax Funds application does not trigger a hard credit pull. Individual lenders may require a soft or hard pull during underwriting — this is disclosed before any credit inquiry.
Does financing stop the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty (TFRP)?+
Yes. When the 941 payroll tax debt is paid in full through financing, the trust fund taxes are satisfied — eliminating the TFRP assessment basis. Personal TFRP liability stops at payoff.
