The best way to avoid a federal tax lien is to pay your federal taxes on time. However if you are unable to pay, contact the IRS and they will negotiate a payment plan with you for a small fee.

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

How can i get a Discharge federal tax lien over 10 years old?

Here some info you'll like;IRS will issue a Release of the Notice of Federal Tax Lien: * Within 30 days after you satisfy the tax due (including interest and other additions) by paying the debt or by having it adjusted, or * Within 30 days after we accept a bond that you submit, guaranteeing payment of the debt. In addition, you must pay all fees that a state or other jurisdiction charges to file and release the lien. These fees will be added to the amount you owe. Refer to Publication 1450 (PDF), Request for Release of Federal Tax Lien. Usually 10 years after a tax is assessed, a lien releases automatically if IRS has not filed it again. If they knowingly or negligently do not release a Notice of Federal Tax Lien when it should be released, you may sue the federal government, but not IRS employees, for damages.
