What is a Federal Tax Lien?
A federal tax lien is the government’s legal claim against your property when you neglect or fail to pay a tax debt.
The federal tax lien protects the government’s interest in all your property, including real estate, personal property and financial assets.
A federal tax lien exists after the IRS places your balance due on their computer system and legally assesses your tax liability.
IRS MUST send you a bill that explains how much you owe and makes a Notice and Demand for payment and you neglect or refuse to fully pay the debt in time.
26 U.S. Code § 6321. Federal Tax Lien for taxes
If any person liable to pay any tax neglects or refuses to pay the same after demand, the amount (including any interest, additional amount, addition to tax, or assessable penalty, together with any costs that may accrue in addition thereto) shall be a lien in favor of the United States upon all property and rights to property, whether real or personal, belonging to such person.
The IRS files a public document, the Notice of Federal Tax Lien, to alert creditors that the government has a legal right to your property.
The Removals of Federal Tax Liens
Paying your tax debt in full is the best way to get rid of a federal tax lien.
The IRS should release your federal tax lien within 30 days after you have paid your tax debt.
When conditions are in the best interest of both the government and the taxpayer, other options for reducing the impact of a lien exist.
1.Discharge of property
A “discharge” removes the lien from specific property. There are several Internal Revenue Code (IRC) provisions that determine eligibility. For more information, refer to Publication 783, Instructions on How to Apply for Certificate of Discharge From Federal Tax Lien (PDF) and the video Selling or Refinancing when there is an IRS Lien.
Subordination
2.”Subordination” does not remove the lien, but allows other creditors to move ahead of the IRS, which may make it easier to get a loan or mortgage. To determine eligibility, refer to Publication 784, Instructions on How to Apply for a Certificate of Subordination of Federal Tax Lien (PDF) and the video Selling or Refinancing when there is an IRS Lien.
Withdrawal
3. “Withdrawal” removes the public Notice of Federal Tax Lien and assures that the IRS is not competing with other creditors for your property; however, you are still liable for the amount due. For eligibility, refer to Form 12277, Application for the Withdrawal of Filed Form 668(Y), Notice of Federal Tax Lien (Internal Revenue Code Section 6323(j)) (PDF) and the video Lien Notice Withdrawal.
There are two additional “Withdrawal” options resulted from the Commissioner’s 2011 Fresh Start initiative.
One option may allow withdrawal of your Notice of Federal Tax Lien after the lien’s release.
General eligibility includes:
1. Your tax liability has been satisfied and your lien has been released; and also: You are in compliance for the past three years in filing – all individual returns, business returns, and information returns;
You are current on your estimated tax payments and federal tax deposits, as applicable.
2. The other option may allow withdrawal of your Notice of Federal Tax Lien if you have entered in or converted your regular installment agreement to a Direct Debit installment agreement.
You are a qualifying taxpayer (i.e. individuals, businesses with income tax liability only, and out of business entities with any type of tax debt)
1.You owe $25,000 or less (If you owe more than $25,000, you may pay down the balance to $25,000 prior to requesting withdrawal of the Notice of Federal Tax Lien)
2.Your Direct Debit Installment Agreement must full pay the amount you owe within 60 months or before the Collection Statute expires, whichever is earlier
3.You are in full compliance with other filing and payment requirements,
4.You have made three consecutive direct debit payments,

It is important to know that IRS may require you to file back tax returns that you have not filed. As a general rule taxpayer’s case will be settled at the same time with either a payment agreement or a hardship application.
There is a very specific system used to get an IRS tax levy released or unfrozen whether it be a bank levy or wage garnishment levy. Being former IRS agents we know the system.
We understand all the systems, formulas, and all the protocols to get an immediate relief of a IRS bank, wage levy garnishments on all frozen accounts.

IRS will close and settle your case generally one of three ways.
After a review of your current financial statement (433f ) IRS will place you either into :
1.currently not collectible status,
2. ask you for a monthly payment agreement or
3. you could submit an offer in compromise if you are a qualified and suitable candidate.
We will review with you your options to find out which is the best fit based on your current financial condition. Remember, your documented financial statement holds the key.
For the Record : What is a IRS Tax Levy?
A levy is a legal seizure of your property to satisfy a tax debt.
Levies are different from liens.
A lien is a legal claim against property to secure payment of the tax debt, while a levy actually takes the property to satisfy the tax debt.
Where does Internal Revenue Service (IRS) authority to levy originate?
The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) authorizes levies to collect delinquent tax. See IRC 6331. Any property or right to property that belongs to the taxpayer or on which there is a Federal tax lien can be levied, unless the IRC exempts the property from levy.
What actions must the Internal Revenue Service take before a IRS tax levy can be issued?
The IRS will usually levy only after these three requirements are met:
1• The IRS assessed the tax and sent you a Notice and Demand for Payment (a tax bill);
2• You neglected or refused to pay the tax; and
3• The IRS sent you a Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to A Hearing (levy notice) at least 30 days before the levy.
The IRS may give you this notice in person, leave it at your home or your usual place of business, or send it to your last known address by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
Please note: if the IRS levies your state tax refund, you may receive a Notice of Levy on Your State Tax Refund, Notice of Your Right to Hearing after the levy.
The filing of Back Tax Returns, all back taxes must be filed before IRS will release a tax levy or wage garnishment.
If you need to file any tax returns we can prepare your return with or without records. Being Former IRS agents we know the system.

How a Federal Tax Lien Affects You
Assets.
A lien attaches to all of your assets (such as property, securities, vehicles) and to future assets acquired during the duration of the lien.
Credit.
Once the IRS files a Notice of Federal Tax Lien, it may limit your ability to get credit.
Business.
The lien attaches to all business property and to all rights to business property, including accounts receivable.
Bankruptcy.
If you file for bankruptcy, your tax debt, lien, and Notice of Federal Tax Lien may continue after the bankruptcy.
What s the difference between a Federal Tax Lien vs. IRS Tax Levy
A lien is not a levy.
A lien secures the government’s interest in your property when you don’t pay your tax debt.
A levy actually takes the property to pay the tax debt. If you don’t pay or make arrangements to settle your tax debt, the IRS can levy, seize and sell any type of real or personal property that you own or have an interest in.

What is a Federal Tax Lien?
A federal tax lien is the government’s legal claim against your property when you neglect or fail to pay a tax debt.
The federal tax lien protects the government’s interest in all your property, including real estate, personal property and financial assets.
A federal tax lien exists after the IRS places your balance due on their computer system and legally assesses your tax liability.
IRS MUST send you a bill that explains how much you owe and makes a Notice and Demand for payment and you neglect or refuse to fully pay the debt in time.
26 U.S. Code § 6321. Federal Tax Lien for taxes
If any person liable to pay any tax neglects or refuses to pay the same after demand, the amount (including any interest, additional amount, addition to tax, or assessable penalty, together with any costs that may accrue in addition thereto) shall be a lien in favor of the United States upon all property and rights to property, whether real or personal, belonging to such person.
The IRS files a public document, the Notice of Federal Tax Lien, to alert creditors that the government has a legal right to your property.
The Removals of Federal Tax Liens
Paying your tax debt in full is the best way to get rid of a federal tax lien.
The IRS should release your federal tax lien within 30 days after you have paid your tax debt.
When conditions are in the best interest of both the government and the taxpayer, other options for reducing the impact of a lien exist.
1.Discharge of property
A “discharge” removes the lien from specific property. There are several Internal Revenue Code (IRC) provisions that determine eligibility. For more information, refer to Publication 783, Instructions on How to Apply for Certificate of Discharge From Federal Tax Lien (PDF) and the video Selling or Refinancing when there is an IRS Lien.
Subordination
2.”Subordination” does not remove the lien, but allows other creditors to move ahead of the IRS, which may make it easier to get a loan or mortgage. To determine eligibility, refer to Publication 784, Instructions on How to Apply for a Certificate of Subordination of Federal Tax Lien (PDF) and the video Selling or Refinancing when there is an IRS Lien.
Withdrawal
3. “Withdrawal” removes the public Notice of Federal Tax Lien and assures that the IRS is not competing with other creditors for your property; however, you are still liable for the amount due. For eligibility, refer to Form 12277, Application for the Withdrawal of Filed Form 668(Y), Notice of Federal Tax Lien (Internal Revenue Code Section 6323(j)) (PDF) and the video Lien Notice Withdrawal.
There are two additional “Withdrawal” options resulted from the Commissioner’s 2011 Fresh Start initiative.
One option may allow withdrawal of your Notice of Federal Tax Lien after the lien’s release.
General eligibility includes:
1. Your tax liability has been satisfied and your lien has been released; and also: You are in compliance for the past three years in filing – all individual returns, business returns, and information returns;
You are current on your estimated tax payments and federal tax deposits, as applicable.
2. The other option may allow withdrawal of your Notice of Federal Tax Lien if you have entered in or converted your regular installment agreement to a Direct Debit installment agreement.

How a Federal Tax Lien Affects You
Assets.
A lien attaches to all of your assets (such as property, securities, vehicles) and to future assets acquired during the duration of the lien.
Credit.
Once the IRS files a Notice of Federal Tax Lien, it may limit your ability to get credit.
Business.
The lien attaches to all business property and to all rights to business property, including accounts receivable.
Bankruptcy.
If you file for bankruptcy, your tax debt, lien, and Notice of Federal Tax Lien may continue after the bankruptcy.
What s the difference between a Federal Tax Lien vs. IRS Tax Levy
A lien is not a levy.
A lien secures the government’s interest in your property when you don’t pay your tax debt.
A levy actually takes the property to pay the tax debt. If you don’t pay or make arrangements to settle your tax debt, the IRS can levy, seize and sell any type of real or personal property that you own or have an interest in.
