How Do I Remove IRS Liens on Property?

Generally, the only way to remove Federal Tax Liens on your property is to pay the tax in full, file and pay in full an accepted Offer in Compromise, post a surety bond, or wait for the statute of limitations to expire. In 2008, the IRS served over 768,600 lien notices to delinquent taxpayers for tax debts.

What happens if the statute of limitations has expired and the Tax Lien has not been released?

Contact Fresh Start immediately. We can usually get your release within a ten day period of time. Technically, after 10 years the lien expires by statute. We have released thousands of liens over the years and will be happy to get your lien removed. Also, contact your credit agency to make sure your lien is released off your permanent record. According to IRS sources, there are currently more than 1 million Federal Tax Liens outstanding, tied to both real and personal property.

What if there is an IRS Tax Lien on my home?

If there is an IRS Tax Lien on your residence you cannot refinance, short sale, sell or transfer the property in any way until you have satisfied the tax lien. There are currently options available to homeowners in this depressed real estate market. The IRS has recently issued a release which allows IRS to speed up lien relief for homeowners trying to refinance or sell. Contact Fresh Start Tax and let us help remove your lien.

How bad does a Tax Lien affect my credit?

Tax liens are as devastating as a bankruptcy on your credit because the debt is still outstanding and the IRS can still collect the money and seize assets for a period of ten years from the date of assessment. Creditors stay as far away from you as they can with a Federal tax lien because they are placed in a subordinate position to the IRS for collection purposes.

What Are My Taxpayer Rights?

You have many rights as a taxpayer. There is a Taxpayer Bill of Rights, it can be found at IRS.gov. It is best for a Fresh Start Tax Professional to decide what rights to assert and when to assert these rights depending on the status of your IRS file. The IRS Taxpayer Bill of Rights requires stringent compliance for all involved.
