Do you have a
tax lien
filed against you?
The IRS
will issue a Release of the Notice of Federal Tax Lien:
- Within 30 days after
you satisfy the tax due (including interest and other
additions) by paying the debt or by having it
adjusted, or
- Within 30 days after
the IRS accept a bond that you submit, guaranteeing
payment of the debt.
In addition, you must
pay all fees that a state or other jurisdiction charges
to file and release the lien. These fees will be
added to the amount you owe. Refer to
Publication 1450 (PDF), Request for Release of
Federal Tax Lien.

Releasing a Lien -
IRS Usually 10 years after
a tax is assessed, a lien releases automatically if the
IRS have not filed it again. If the IRS knowingly or
negligently do not release a Notice of Federal Tax Lien
when it should be released, you may sue the federal
government, but not IRS employees, for damages.
Payoff Amount
The full amount of your lien will remain a matter of
public record until it is paid in full. However, at any
time, you may request an updated lien payoff amount to
show the remaining balance due. An IRS employee (either
over the toll-free customer service telephone line, or
at a walk-in service site, or at your local IRS’ lien
desk) can issue you a letter with the current amount due
in order to release a lien.
Making the IRS Lien Secondary to Another Lien
In some cases, a federal tax lien can be made
secondary to another lien. That process is called
subordination. Refer to Publication 784 (PDF), How to
Prepare Application for Certificate of Subordination of
Federal Tax Lien.
Withdrawing Liens
By law, a filed notice of tax lien can be withdrawn
if:
The notice was filed too soon or not according to IRS
procedures,
You entered into an installment agreement to pay the
debt on the notice of lien (unless the agreement
provides otherwise)
Withdrawal will speed collecting the tax, or Withdrawal
would be in your best interest (as determined by the
Taxpayer Advocate), and in the best interest of the
government.
