Why? In order to make certain you’re covered if you wind up sliding off the road.

About Weather-Related Claims

If you are just carrying the minimum liability insurance, you should understand that while you are covered for any damage you cause to someone else’s vehicle, damages to your own is not covered – nor are you protected if you happen to hit a patch of ice and slide off the road and run into a tree or light pole as a result.

How to Avoid an IRS Lien

Written by Melissa Baker on December 2, 2010 – 2:42 am

    Pay the amount you owe, in full. If you receive a bill from the IRS, it is best to pay the bill in full as soon as you receive the bill, as the IRS has 10 days from the date of its first notice to issue a lien on your property. If the government files a Notice of Federal Tax Lien on your property, then it may appear on your credit report and lower your credit rating, thus making it more difficult for you to secure loans, lines of credit,or refinancing.

    Use IRS Form 9465 or the Online Payment Agreement Application found on the IRS website to set up an installment agreement. If you choose to use Form 9465, you can download the form from the IRS website or request it by calling 1-(800)-Tax-Form. Mail your completed form to the address listed in the instructions for Form 9465. On the form, you will enter your name, Social Security number (and your spouse’s, if a joint filing), bank account and routing number (if you want the money directly debited out of your account each month) and the amount you wish to pay each month.
