If you need help releasing your Federal Tax Lien call us today!!!

IRS Federal Tax Lien Form 668 (Y) (c) (Rev. 10-1999)

We get more than one phone call a day on the IRS Federal Tax Lien and the release thereof. What most people do not understand is that the IRS has a 10 year statute of limitation of collection of the tax. After the 10 years, the Federal Tax Lien becomes self releasing. Certain events toll the statute such as:

1. Bankruptcy

2. Filing of a collection due process

3. Tax Litigation

4. Signing a collection waiver

5. Other events, check with your tax professional

If the statute has run its course (pull an IRS Transcript to be sure) IRS Federal Tax Liens become self releasing  which means that they no longer have any effect on the taxpayer and for all intensive purposes, the federal tax lien self dissolves or releases itself.

The Federal Government will not issue a release of the Federal Tax Lien unless you call the Cincinnati Service Center at:
