210							question: "Can FDOR really revoke my business license?",
211							answer: "Yes. FDOR has statutory authority to revoke your sales tax registration and dealer certificate. Operating without valid registration is a criminal offense in Florida. This is the most serious enforcement tool FDOR has — and they use it."
212						},
213						{
214							question: "How quickly can FDOR levy my bank account?",
215							answer: "FDOR can issue a bank levy without a court order. Once the levy is served on your bank, funds are frozen immediately. You typically have very limited time to respond. This is why early intervention matters — once funds are frozen, getting them released is much harder."
216						},
217						{
218							question: "Can I negotiate a payment plan with FDOR?",
219							answer: "Yes, but FDOR's payment arrangements have specific requirements. You must be current on all filing obligations, and the arrangement must resolve the debt within FDOR's acceptable timeframes. I negotiate these regularly and know what terms FDOR will accept."
220						},
221						{
222							question: "What is a tax warrant?",
223							answer: "A tax warrant is FDOR's equivalent of a judgment. Once filed with the Clerk of Court, it becomes a lien on your real property in that county. It's also a public re

223cord that lenders see, and it can block a sale or refinance."
224						},
225						{
226							question: "Is FDOR compromise (settlement for less) possible?",
227							answer: "Florida Statute §213.21 authorizes FDOR to compromise tax, interest, and penalties. However, compromise requires demonstrating that the full amount cannot be collected or that there's a genuine dispute about the liability. This isn't the IRS Offer in Compromise — FDOR has its own standards."
228						},
229						{
230							question: "What if I have unfiled returns AND a collections case?",
231							answer: "This is common and it's the first thing I address. FDOR will not negotiate any payment arrangement or compromise until all filing obligations are current. I handle the filing and the collections negotiation simultaneously to resolve both issues."
