Anyone who has been in business for a while will know that we are entering the danger zone. The annual period where getting paid is like pulling teeth. Thankfully it is still mid November so there is still time to plan, prepare and cope. The best advice I can give you right now is this- be up front and honest with your customer and ask them, before you start work or provide the goods and services, if they are going to be able to pay on time.

In a Nutshell. Yes, you might be able to get a home loan even if you owe taxes. Owing taxes or having a tax lien does make it harder and more complicated to get a mortgage. You can improve your chances of mortgage approval by actively working to resolve your tax debt even if you can’t pay it all off immediately. Failing to pay your federal income taxes can lead to the Internal Revenue Service placing a lien on your property or your assets.

I had more than enough paid time off available for this trip due to being able to use flex time for other obligations.

Individuals can be legally forced to pay their debts with their cryptocurrency, but the creditor must have a judgment which states that the debtor is obligated to pay off the debt, including any cryptocurrency they own. Knowing whether or not the debtor owns crypto like bitcoin is of course a challenge. That is why a creditor must attempt to file a legal suit in which the debtor must declare all his assets under oath when asked by the judge.
