A Tax Lien is a public legal notification that lets creditors know that the IRS has claims to ones' personal properties, thereby making it more difficult to borrow, sell or trade.

A federal tax lien is the government‰Ûªs legal claim against your property when you neglect or fail to pay a tax debt. The lien protects the government‰Ûªs interest in all your property, including real estate, personal property and financial assets. A federal tax lien exists after the IRS: Assesses your liability; Sends you a bill that explains how much you owe (Notice and Demand for Payment); and You neglect or refuse to fully pay the debt in time.

What is a tax lien state?
If you or your business has been putting off a tax issue and you did not pay the full amount of tax debt before the required deadline, the state tax authority may file a tax lien (in some states this is called a 'tax warrant') in the state or county where you or the business reside. Tax liens will be attached to all your properties, business, bank accounts and other assets; the laws determine that federal and state tax authorities will be paid in priority if you are selling any of your properties. Usually you only have a limited time to respond to a tax lien. This public document is one of the initial steps in the tax debt collections and means the IRS or state are coming to collect what they are owed.
Is there a statute of limitation for a IRS lien issued against an individual more than 10 years ago?
IRS tax liens will expire on the earlier of: 1. The Collection Statute Expiration Date 2. Ten Years from the Date of Lien Filing. With that said, here's how the process actually works. There are two types of IRS Liens. One type must have a Release of Federal Tax Lien filed to eliminate it. The other type is "self-releasing", meaning it expires automatically if not renewed by the IRS after ten years. The problem is that the credit bureaus have no way of knowing if it was a self-releasing lien, so if they do not see a Release of Federal Tax Lien on file they do not know that it has actually been released (self-released). The other problem is that if it was NOT a self-releasing lien, the IRS typically is not "on the ball" with sending out a Release. They leave it to you to follow up on it. What you can do with either type of lien is call the IRS Lien Department. They will be able to verify that the lien should have been released (that the debt has expired), and once they verify that they will mail you a Release of Federal Tax Lien. You can then take this into your county clerk for recording, and send photocopies of it to the credit bureaus to ensure that it is properly reflected on your credit report. IRS Lien Department: 1-800-913-6050
