If I have an IRA will the IRS take it to cover back taxes owed?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
An IRS levy permits the legal seizure of your property to satisfy a tax debt. It can garnish wages, take money in your bank or other financial account, seize and sell your vehicle(s), real estate and other personal property.

But if the IRS seizes an inherited IRA holding only stock, to pay back taxes, can the IRS convert the stock to cash, and does the heir-taxpayer owe taxes on the converted amount? And penalties for early withdrawal?
If the IRS forces you to liquidate the IRA to pay taxes it is a taxable distribution and must be reported on your tax return however it is NOT subject to the 10% penalty ... how decent of them.
