Tax Law SERVICES
tax Questions
Tax liens are tools that creditors use in order to secure debts. It is a security interest granted on items of property.
The IRS states that they will release a lien within 30 days after the tax debt is satisfied by paying the debt or having it adjusted or within 30 days after the IRS accepts a bond submitted by the taxpayer, guaranteeing payment of the debt. Selling the property secured by the lien may also qualify the taxpayer to file a Certificate of Discharge.
Because liens defeat subsequent security interests in property, you likely will no longer be able to use your property as collateral against any loans while the lien is in effect.
