Understanding Tax Lien
A federal tax lien is the IRS's legal claim against your property when you fail to pay tax debt. Unlike a levy (which seizes assets), a lien attaches to all your property—real estate, vehicles, business assets, and financial accounts. It's filed publicly, destroying your credit score and making it nearly impossible to sell property, refinance, or obtain business financing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IRS tax lien?
A federal tax lien is the government's legal claim against your property when you neglect or fail to pay tax debt. It attaches to all your assets—real estate, vehicles, and financial accounts—and is filed as a public record.
How long do I have to respond to a tax lien?
A tax lien remains for 10 years from the date of assessment and can be extended. You can request lien withdrawal after paying in full, entering a Direct Debit Installment Agreement, or resolving the debt through an Offer in Compromise.
Can I settle this for less than I owe?
Yes. An Offer in Compromise can resolve the underlying tax debt for less, after which the lien is released. We also negotiate lien subordination or discharge to help you sell property or refinance while the debt is being resolved.
