Is the IRS Targeting You by Mistake? How Automation Errors Could Cost You Thousands

May 27, 2025

Imagine waking up to find your bank account frozen or your paycheck unexpectedly garnished—all because of an IRS error.

The IRS is overwhelmed, understaffed, and underfunded. To handle their immense workload, they've increasingly relied on automated systems. Unfortunately, these systems aren't foolproof, and innocent taxpayers are getting caught in the crossfire.

Don't let the IRS automation freeze your finances. Our experienced attorneys at Victory Tax Lawyers act fast to stop IRS mistakes from turning into financial disasters. Call (800) 883-8301for a free and confidential tax relief consultation.

When Robots Run the Show

Automation errors are rising dramatically because:

  • Rising Error Rates: Without adequate staff to review and fact-check cases, automated systems are now generating more liens and levies based on incorrect information, and some taxpayers are even receiving these by mistake.

  • Collection Actions Without Verification: Wage garnishments and bank levies are being issued automatically without the careful human review that previously caught potential errors.

The result? Taxpayers face significant hardships such as:

  • Paychecks cut in half overnight.

  • Immediate bank account freezes with no prior warning.

  • Difficulty covering basic living expenses due to unexpected garnishments.

The Human Contact Crisis

Getting assistance from the IRS has become nearly impossible:

  • Phone calls to the IRS often mean hours of waiting, with many taxpayers giving up before reaching help.

  • Letters and inquiries to the IRS can take months to process, leaving errors unresolved and finances at risk.
