What is a release of federal tax lien?

Federal Tax Lien Release

The easiest way to have a federal tax lien released is by paying the IRS your unpaid tax bill amount. In fact, the IRS will not issue a “Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien” until you have paid all unpaid taxes, interest, penalties, and any applicable recording fees in full. Or, you can have your federal tax lien released if the IRS cannot legally collect the tax (as in the case of it being after the statute of limitations time period).

If you cannot pay your tax lien in a lump sum manner, you may want to consider selling your assets.

Filing a bond for the amount of unpaid federal taxes you owe will also release your federal tax lien.

When you have fully paid all your back taxes, the IRS will issue you a “Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien”. They are legally required to issue you this Certificate
