For many women, just hearing the word “IRS” can trigger shame, panic, or a deep urge to avoid. In this episode, tax attorney Stephen Weisberg, founder of The W Tax Group, helps us move beyond feeling fear and into clarity by breaking down what really happens during IRS audits, tax liens, and debt collection.

With over a decade of experience, Stephen explains how the IRS process actually unfolds—step by step—so you can understand your rights, recognize the warning signs, and make informed decisions without spiraling into self-blame or shutdown.

In this episode we discuss:

• The truth about IRS audits—and why only ~5% of returns are flagged
• What a tax lien is (and why it’s not the same as a levy)
• How the IRS communicates before taking action—and how to respond calmly
• The real deal on those “pennies on the dollar” offers you see on TV
• What to do if you can’t pay—options like installment plans, hardship status & more
• Why taking action early protects your power and peace
