If a person has an IRS lien against them are they considered a convicted felon?
NO. A lien is nothing more than a public record that notifies other creditors that the IRS has a security interest against the Taxpayer's assets. The IRS can file a lien without ANY judicial review. And it's a civil matter, not criminal. It is similar to having your credit card company file a judgment against you for not paying (except they at least have to go to court to get a judgment).

The IRS has the right to put a lien on any property/assets where a taxpayer has liability (owes the IRS). Its a safe bet to say that if you owe the IRS, you have a lien placed on your property, but not in all cases. If you are placed in a resolution called Currently Not Collectible, the IRS will automatically file a lien. So to answer you question, the IRS can both place a lien on the house and issue a levy simultanously. No the IRS will not take into consideration the age of the individual owing the tax debt.

If a person has a personal tax lien and they also own a business can the IRS also put a lien on the assets of that business?
No, unless it is a sole proprietorship. The IRS cannot put a lien on anything held by a corporation, LLC, etc. However, note that the IRS lien attaches to all property -- real and personal, tangible and intangible. That means that if they put a lien on you, they have technically attached that lien to your ownership interest in the company.
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.

You would like to purchase a property but the property has an IRS lien what can you do?
The lien must be paid. A federal tax lien is effective for over ten years, can be re-recorded if not paid and remains on the property until it's paid. In many cases, the amount due can be negotiated with a promise for immediate payment. The seller's attorney should contact the IRS to negotiate the final amount due. You should seek the services of an attorney who will examine the title of the property to ascertain if there are any other liens. If there are outstanding federal taxes chances are that there are other debts. Your attorney could also arrange to set aside a part of the purchase price to pay the IRS lien.
