Keep your property off the IRS auction list

The IRS has its own kind of Craigslist. But instead of selling its own used items to strangers over the internet, the IRS auctions off property that has been seized to compensate for unpaid taxes.

Need a new car, some antiques, some silver coins or a diamond necklace? Maybe you’ve been hoping to make a bid on a lakefront lot or a 7-bedroom home? Don’t forget to check the IRS auction page to see if there might be something worth pursuing. Someone else’s IRS seizure might just be the treasure you’ve been looking for.
