A:
If you're trying to check if you owe taxes in Puerto Rico and can't access the online system, there are a few steps you can take. Start by contacting the Puerto Rico Department of Treasury (Hacienda) directly. You can reach them by phone or visit a local office in person. This allows you to ask about your tax status and find out if there are any outstanding amounts or liens against you.
Another approach is to check your mail for any notices sent by Hacienda. They usually send letters regarding unpaid taxes, fines, or liens, so review any recent correspondence carefully. If you’ve missed any deadlines, these notices can provide information on what needs to be done next.
Lastly, consider reaching out to your bank or credit union to see if they have received any lien notices tied to your account. Liens can affect your credit or assets, so it’s crucial to address this promptly. Gathering this information will help you take the necessary steps to resolve any tax issues.
