IRS raises Federal Tax Lien Filing Thresholds – Former IRS
Fresh Start Notice of Federal Tax Liens
Increase in the Notice of Federal Tax Lien filing threshold
The Fresh Start changes increase the IRS Notice of Federal Tax Lien filing threshold from $5,000 to $10,000.
Notices of Federal Tax Liens may still be filed on amounts less than $10,000 when circumstances warrant.
The IRS will not retroactively apply the new $10,000 lien notice filing threshold and automatically withdraw a previously filed lien.
 
 

Requesting a lien withdrawal after the lien has been released

 
The IRS may now issue a withdrawal of a filed Notice of Federal Tax Lien after the lien has been released.
If you wish to have the Notice of Federal Tax Lien withdrawn, you must request the withdrawal in writing.
 
You need to  use Form 12277, Application for Withdrawal (PDF). In item 11, Reason for requesting withdrawal, check the last box, “The taxpayer, or the Taxpayer Advocate acting on behalf of the taxpayer, believes withdrawal is in the best interest of the taxpayer and the government.”
