7 years, after they are paid off.
I have heard that tax liens stay on your credit report 10 years after they are paid off.
An unpaid tax lien will stay indefinitely, paid for seven years.
If the lien appears on your credit report, you dispute it with the credit bureau. You can do this by ordering your credit report on line and issuing a dispute through their investigation department, of course, you will have to provide evidence for your claim.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act allows unpaid tax liens to remain indefinitely on your credit report. Paid tax liens may remain for 7 years from the date of payment.
A tax lien is considered a significant derogatory item on a consumer's credit report. Being a legal action, it is reported in the "public records" portion of your credit report. Consumers with any public records showing, even when paid and with their proper dispositions showing, get larger deductions to their credit scores for any other actions. All legal items need to have their disposition. For tax liens, the disposition is called a release of lien. This needs to be obtained by the consumer, recorded (preferably at the same courthouse) and forwarded to the credit bureaus. Unpaid tax liens have no limitations for how long they can appear on a credit report. Paid tax liens will show for 7 years from the date of payment. That paid date would be established by the release.
Tax lien will show paid--it won't be removed unless it was there in error or you have gone to court and had a judge state that it has to be removed.AnswerWhen a tax lien is removed because it's paid, the credit agency that reported it can be advised. Go to your local IRS office with the information and they can notify the credit bureau that has reported the lien on you. This happened to me once and the IRS updated the lien information with the credit bureau. I did all this person-to-person, it worked better than the telephone. AnswerAnything on your credit report can be disputed at anytime. It all depends on whether it gets verified or not on whether it comes off or not.

It should drop off after 7 years, but you should write to the credit reporting angencies to report the payment and provide proof that the debt has been paid and this might expedite removal from your credit report.
The recording of the actual lien document will always remain in the public records. If you paid the tax, you should demand the filing of a release of lien. The negative entry on your credit should drop off 7 years after the release is filed.
Unpaid tax liens remain 15 years from the filing date. Paid tax liens remain 7 years from the paid date of the lien.
They are probably about the same. A tax lien stays on your credit report for 7 years from the date it was PAID, not from the date it was filed. I'll let someone else chime in on how long a bankruptcy stays on. I think 10 years(?).
You didn't mention whether or not the lien had been paid and released. There is no statute of limitations on the time period an unpaid tax lien can show on a consumer's credit report. A paid tax lien may show for 7 years from the date the lien is released. A release of lien is the legal disposition of this type of item.

The length of time that information remains on a credit report varies as to whether it's a bankruptcy, judgment, tax lien (paid/unpaid), late payment or an inquiry.
