Remember, you can only go to jail for tax fraud or tax evasion. You can’t go to jail for credit card debt. With that being said, the IRS can seize property, the credit card debt can take you to court and garnish wages, the most putting a lien on your home if allowed. That is totally different than seizing property. I would pay the IRS BACK ASAP! Even Dave Ramsey will tell you to pay them first
