IRS Tax Resolution – Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, practical answers to common IRS tax debt questions. Resolution options depend on eligibility, compliance status, and IRS procedures.
What is an IRS tax resolution?+
IRS tax resolution is the process of addressing unpaid federal tax debt through IRS-approved programs such as installment agreements, penalty abatement, lien release, or settlement options. Resolution depends on your financial situation, compliance history, and the type of IRS notice received. All resolutions must follow official Internal Revenue Service procedures.
What is a Federal Tax Lien?+
A Federal Tax Lien is the IRS’s legal claim against your property when you fail to pay a tax debt after demand for payment. The lien can attach to real estate, personal property, and future assets until the debt is resolved or becomes legally unenforceable.
How do I know if the IRS has filed a tax lien against me?+
The IRS typically sends multiple notices before filing a lien, including CP14, CP501, CP503, CP504, and a Notice of Federal Tax Lien (NFTL). You may also discover a lien through a public records search or a credit review used by lenders.
What is the difference between an IRS tax lien and an IRS levy?+
An IRS tax lien is a claim against your assets, while an IRS levy is an actual seizure of property or funds, such as bank accounts or wages. A lien protects the government’s interest; a levy enforces collection.
Can an IRS tax lien be removed?+
In some cases, yes. A tax lien may be released after the debt is fully paid, settled, or becomes legally unenforceable. The IRS may also approve a lien withdrawal or subordination depending on eligibility and compliance status.
Does an IRS tax lien affect my credit?+
Federal tax liens are public records and may impact lending decisions, financing opportunities, and asset sales. Although they no longer appear on standard consumer credit reports, lenders can still discover liens through public records searches.
Can I sell or refinance property with an IRS tax lien?+
Possibly. The IRS may allow a lien discharge or subordination to facilitate a sale or refinance if it benefits the government’s collection interest. Approval depends on equity, proceeds, and compliance.
What IRS tax resolution options are available?+
Depending on eligibility, options may include: installment agreements, penalty abatement, lien release/withdrawal/subordination, Offer in Compromise, or Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status. Each option has strict IRS qualification rules.
Can I resolve IRS tax debt without paying the full amount?+
Some taxpayers may qualify for reduced settlement options, such as an Offer in Compromise, based on income, assets, expenses, and future earning potential. Approval is not guaranteed and requires full financial disclosure.
How long does an IRS tax lien last?+
An IRS tax lien generally remains in effect until the tax debt is paid in full or the 10-year statute of limitations on collection expires. Certain actions, such as agreements or appeals, may extend this period.
Can the IRS file a lien if I’m on a payment plan?+
Yes. The IRS may still file a tax lien even if you are on an installment agreement, especially for larger balances. However, certain streamlined agreements may reduce the likelihood of lien filing.
Should I contact the IRS myself?+
Taxpayers can contact the IRS directly, but miscommunication, incomplete disclosures, or missed deadlines can worsen enforcement actions. Representation by an authorized tax professional can help ensure compliance with IRS procedures.
Who is authorized to represent me before the IRS?+
Enrolled Agents, CPAs, and attorneys are authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS. Enrolled Agents are federally licensed and specialize exclusively in tax matters.
How long does IRS tax resolution take?+
Resolution timelines vary depending on the type of case, amount owed, compliance status, and IRS processing times. Some matters may take weeks, while others may take several months.
What happens if I ignore IRS notices?+
Ignoring IRS notices may result in enforced collection actions, including liens, levies, wage garnishment, or asset seizure. Early intervention typically provides more resolution options.
Is IRS tax resolution guaranteed?+
No legitimate tax professional can guarantee a specific outcome. IRS decisions are based on financial documentation, legal eligibility, and internal review processes.
How do I get started with IRS tax resolution?+
The first step is reviewing your IRS notices, tax transcripts, and financial situation to determine eligibility for available resolution options. Early action can help limit enforcement.
