Many taxpayers who fall behind on federal taxes end up in the IRS’s Automated Collection System (ACS) — a centralized, computerized enforcement system that sends notices and escalates collection actions when taxes are unpaid. Unlike traditional field collections with a dedicated agent, ACS operates through automated notices and call centers, making the process more impersonal and harder to navigate. Once in ACS, taxpayers may receive a series of escalating IRS notices, and if ignored, collection actions like wage garnishments or bank levies can follow quickly. With the IRS ramping up enforcement ahead of 2026, it’s more important than ever to act proactively.
Navigating ACS effectively — including stopping collections before they affect your income or accounts often requires experienced support. If you’re unsure how to handle your situation, working with a tax professional can make a significant difference.
