Does a federal tax lien have priority over state tax lien?
Not necessarily. The old adage of "first in time, first in line" comes into play. To expand, let me explain that, for example, at a real estate closing where both reps of the IRS and State are in attendance, this situation will be discussed by all concerned parties. Usually, it has been predetermined by the attorneys (and tax reps) who is getting what and why. Now, if we are talking about personal property, it doesn't really matter who filed first, but rather who executes first. The existence of a Federal Tax Lien or that of a State tax lien will not prevent either jurisdiction from taking action on personal property. As a matter of fact, the IRS doesn't even need a filed Federal Tax Lien to take action on most personal property, if not all personal property. A Lien arises (non filed) from the mere refusal/inability to pay federal taxes
