How do I get a release of Federal Tax Lien?
A complete release of a Federal Tax Lien comes in various fashions.  The first and easiest way to get a Federal Tax Lien released is to pay the liability in full with a cashier’s check.  Within days, you can have a release. Many times if you are selling your house, the IRS has a procedure for a simultaneous release of lien at closing.  Check with us for these details.
Another way is to get an Offer in Compromise accepted and when it is paid in full, the IRS will issue a Release of the Federal Tax Lien. You want to make sure it gets filed at the court house closest to your residence. Another way is to post a surety bond for the full amount of the tax. This is done by filling out the necessary forms and paying the required dollar amount. These are  very expensive and only used in very rare circumstances. Once your tax lien has been released, you want to make sure all three credit reporting agencies reflect the same data. Many times one credit report will not show the release of the tax lien.
