Actual Notice of Federal Tax
Lien
Once these requirements are met, a lien is created for the amount of your tax debt. By filing notice of this lien, your creditors are publicly notified that the IRS has a claim against all your property, including property you acquire after the lien is filed. This notice is used by courts to establish priority in certain situations, such as bankruptcy proceedings or sales of real estate. The lien attaches to all your property (such as your house or car) and to all your rights to property (such as your accounts receivable, if you are a business). Caution! Releasing a Lien The IRS will issue a Release of the Notice of Federal Tax Lien:
In addition, you must pay all fees that a state or other jurisdiction charges to file and release the lien. These fees will be added to the amount you owe. Usually 10 years after a tax is assessed, a lien releases automatically if the IRS haS not filed it again. If the IRS knowingly or negligently do not release a Notice of Federal Tax Lien when it should be released, you may sue the federal government, but not IRS employees, for damages. Payoff AmountThe full amount of your lien will remain a matter of public record until it is paid in full, including all accruals and additions. However, at any time you may request an updated lien payoff amount to show the remaining balance due. An IRS employee will issue you a letter with the current amount that must be paid before the IRS issues a release of the Notice of Federal Tax Lien. Applying for a Discharge of a Federal Tax LienIf you are giving up ownership of property, such as when you sell your home, you may apply for a Certificate of Discharge. Each application for a discharge of a tax lien releases the effects of the lien against one piece of property. Note that when certain conditions exist, a third party may also request a Certificate of Discharge. Making the IRS Lien Secondary to Another LienIn some cases, a federal tax lien can be made secondary to another lien. That process is called subordination. Withdrawing LiensBy law, a filed notice of tax lien can be withdrawn if:
