Eligibility Requirements for Income Tax Lien Removal

• Full Payment of Tax Debt: The most straightforward way to remove an IRS tax lien is by paying off the full tax debt. We assist in ensuring that once the debt is paid, the IRS releases the lien within 30 days, freeing your assets from the claim.

• Eligibility for IRS Fresh Start Program: If you qualify for the IRS Fresh Start Program, we help you set up a payment plan that may make you eligible for a lien withdrawal. This program is designed to simplify the process of resolving tax debt and removing the lien.

• Approved IRS Relief Option: We can negotiate with the IRS to participate in relief options such as an Offer in Compromise, which may result in the removal of the lien. Once the IRS accepts your settlement offer or other relief, the lien can be released.

• Proof of Financial Hardship: We help you demonstrate financial hardship to qualify for relief options that could lead to lien removal. This includes providing detailed financial documentation to show the IRS how the lien is impacting your ability to meet essential living expenses.

• Request for Lien Withdrawal or Subordination: Our tax lien attorneys can formally request a lien withdrawal if you meet the criteria, such as entering into a Direct Debit Installment Agreement.

Why Are We the Best Lien Removal Attorneys?

Dealing with a tax lien is a daunting experience that can leave you feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn. With over one million tax liens filed annually by the IRS, many taxpayers find themselves struggling to navigate the complex process, and a significant number fail to retrieve their seized assets. The constant threat of asset seizure and the pressure to resolve the lien quickly make it crucial to have the right legal guidance to avoid costly mistakes.

We provide expert assistance with resolutions such as installment agreements, offers in compromise, and lien withdrawals to help secure a swift and favorable outcome. Our deep expertise in tax lien law, combined with a proactive and aggressive approach to negotiating with the IRS, ensures that we protect your assets and resolve your tax lien effectively. We don’t just remove your lien—we provide ongoing support to help you rebuild and maintain your financial stability.

What are Your Alternatives If IRS Tax Lien Removal is Rejected?

If the IRS rejects your request for tax lien removal, you still have several alternatives to explore that can help you manage and eventually resolve the lien:

Appeal the IRS Decision

If your lien removal request is denied, we can file an appeal on your behalf. This allows us to present additional evidence or arguments to a higher authority within the IRS, potentially leading to a reversal of the decision.

Negotiate a Payment Plan

We can establish an installment agreement with the IRS, allowing you to pay off your debt over time in manageable amounts. While paying under this plan, the IRS may agree to subordinate or even withdraw the lien, making it easier to handle your financial obligations.

Submit an Offer in Compromise

Our tax attorneys can help you submit an Offer in Compromise to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount owed. If accepted, this can result in the withdrawal of the lien, especially if paying the full debt would cause financial hardship.

Request Lien Subordination

If lien removal is not an option, we can request lien subordination, which allows other creditors to take priority over the IRS lien. This is especially useful if you need to refinance or sell your property, as it improves your chances of securing financing.

Apply for CNC Status

If paying your tax debt would cause severe financial hardship, we can help you apply for Currently Non-Collectible status. While in CNC, the IRS temporarily halts collection efforts, including actions related to the lien, giving you time to recover financially.
