Liens give the IRS legal claim to your property as security or payment for your tax debt. A Notice of Federal Tax Lien may be filed only after IRS has met certain legal requirements and followed the required procedures.
The law requires that IRS give you a notice of and demand for the amount and give you ten days to pay the amount before filing a lien.
The lien attaches to all your property (such as your house or car) and to all your rights to property (such as your accounts receivable, if you are a business). Once a lien is filed, your credit rating may be harmed.
The lien will be released within 30 days of payment of the tax debt or after the taxpayer posts a bond guaranteeing the payment of the tax debt.
The lien may be withdrawn if the required procedures were not followed or legal requirements were not met. In some cases, the lien may be withdrawn if you enter into an installment payment agreement.
The IRS may also withdraw the lien if it speeds collecting the tax, or if it is in both the government and the taxpayer's best interest.
