Passport revocation or denial happens when the IRS notifies the State Department that an individual has “seriously delinquent tax debt,” typically defined as owing more than $62,000, including penalties and interest. 

Once this certification is made, the State Department can deny a new passport application or revoke an existing passport, preventing the individual from traveling internationally. This action is part of the IRS’s efforts to enforce tax compliance for those with significant unpaid tax liabilities.

Eligibility Requirements for Resolving Passport Revocation

Resolving passport revocation involves addressing your outstanding tax debt through various IRS-approved options. Eligibility for passport reinstatement generally depends on your ability to enter into one of the following arrangements with the IRS. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the primary ways to lift the passport revocation:

Full Payment of Tax Debt

The simplest and fastest way is for us to help you pay off the entire tax debt. Once the IRS acknowledges full payment, we ensure that they notify the State Department to remove the passport revocation.

Installment Agreement

If full payment isn’t feasible, we can set up an Installment Agreement with the IRS on your behalf. This payment plan demonstrates your commitment to resolving the debt over time, and once it’s approved, the IRS will notify the State Department to reinstate your passport.

Offer in Compromise (OIC)

If you qualify, our tax attorneys can negotiate an  OIC to settle your debt for less than what you owe. If the IRS accepts this option based on financial hardship, we work to remove your “seriously delinquent” status and lift the passport revocation.

Currently Not Collectible (CNC) Status

If you’re facing severe financial hardship, we can help you apply for CNC status, which halts IRS collection activities. While it doesn’t erase the debt, it can remove the passport revocation while your case is under review.

Appealing the Certification

If we find that your passport was wrongfully revoked or that there were errors in your tax assessment, we can file an appeal. Successfully appealing the IRS’s certification will result in lifting the passport revocation.
