assignment of lien definition

An assignment is the transfer of a legal interest.  In its most basic form, one party (the Assignor) agrees to sell and/or transfer its legal interest in something to a third party (the Assignee).  The parties will typically draft a separate purchase agreement for the asset to be assigned. The assignment will then be executed by the parties once the sale is complete.

Tax lien assignments

Assignments are very common in many different areas of law and finance.  Probably the two most common types of real estate related assignments are assignments of a mortgage/deed of trust or a purchase contract assignment (e.g., wholesalers).  Just as the rights under a promissory note or under a purchase agreement can be assigned, a tax sale certificate can assign his or her tax lien.

There are many different reasons why an investor may assign a tax lien.  For example, an investor may purchase a tax lien hoping that the property redeems so that they can recoup their investment, plus the interest that accrued.  If the property does not redeem, and the investor does not want the property, he or she can assign the tax sale certificate and tax lien to another investor.  The new tax sale certificate holder then assumes all of the rights under the tax certificate, including the right to foreclose and to take title to the property upon the judgment.  Importantly, the new certificate holder also assumes the right to collect the refund (plus interest) upon redemption of the property.

The assignment agreement is a private agreement between the two parties and the assignment price may be for more or less than the redemptive value of the tax lien.  Once an agreement is reached an Assignment of Tax Sale Certificate is executed. The new holder must then notify the County (and the court, if applicable) and may record the assignment among the County land records.

Lien Assignment Process and Procedure

The lien assignment process almost always begins with the owner’s mortgage lender (i.e. bank) commencing a foreclosure on its first deed of trust.  Prior to the bank proceeding to foreclosure sale, it must submit a bid to the Public Trustee’s office.  At that time, investors review the bank’s bid and determine if they would be interested in paying off the bank in exchange for acquiring the property.  This is usually about the same time that investors obtain title work on the property and contact the association, its management company or our office to inquire about the potential purchase of the association’s lien.  Most investors realize that even if no recorded lien exists, the association  still may have an assignable lien by operation of Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act.

Assuming the investor gets in touch with our office (whether directly or following a referral from the manager or association), our firm will contact the board or management company for an updated ledger on the property.  We then review the ledger and add in any time that may have been written off because of a bankruptcy and additional attorney fees that are not yet reflected on the ledger.  We use this information to formulate a lien sale price.  In some instances we will attempt to sell the lien for more than the total amount owed, but we always assign the lien for at least payment in full through the current month.  Following an agreement with an investor to purchase the lien, our office processes the lien sale through the execution of a lien assignment document.  This document sets forth the legal rights and obligations between the investor and the association and allows the investor to acquire property through a redemption process.

If the lien is sold, the association receives payment in full (or occasionally, more than payment in full) and the investor receives all rights associated with the association’s lien.  The investor takes the completed lien assignment to the Public Trustee and files what is known as an Intent to Redeem.  This document tells the Public Trustee that the investor has purchased the association’s lien and corresponding right to redeem at the Public Trustee’s sale.  The investor then tenders payment to the Public Trustee for all amounts owed to the foreclosing lender.  This process is known as redemption.

Following a successful redemption, the investor will take title to the property and will be issued a Public Trustee’s Deed.  This Deed confirms that the investor now owns the property.  It is important to remember that the Public Trustee’s Deed is sometimes issued several weeks after the investor actually takes legal title to a property.  Technically, legal title transfers once all applicable redemption periods expire.  Associations should contact our office if there are any questions about the actual date that a title transferred to an investor.

Usually, investors that acquire association liens through the lien assignment process are interested in rehabilitating the property and reselling it relatively quickly.   However, during the time the investor owns the property, he or she is subject to all the same covenants as any other owner, including the obligation to pay assessments.

Lien: Three Main Types of Claim Against and Asset

assignment of lien definition

A lien is a claim or legal right against assets that are typically used as collateral to satisfy a debt. A creditor or a legal judgment could establish a lien. A lien serves to guarantee an underlying obligation, such as the repayment of a loan. If the underlying obligation is not satisfied, the creditor may be able to seize the asset that is the subject of the lien. There are many types of liens that are used to secure assets.

Key Takeaways

  • A lien is a claim or legal right against assets that are usually used as collateral to satisfy a debt.
  • The creditor may be able to seize the asset that is the subject of the lien.
  • Bank, real estate, and tax are three types of liens.
  • If a contract on a property is not paid, the lender has a legal right to seize and sell the property.
  • Various types of liens can be established including by a creditor, legal judgment, or tax authority.

Investopedia / Dennis Madamba

A lien provides a creditor with the legal right to seize and sell the collateral property or asset of a borrower who fails to meet the obligations of a loan or contract. The owner cannot sell the property that is the subject of a lien without the consent of the lien holder. A floating lien refers to a lien on inventory or other unfixed property.

Liens can be voluntary or consensual, such as a lien on a property for a loan. However, involuntary or statutory liens exist whereby a creditor seeks legal action for nonpayment. As a result, a lien is placed on assets, including property and bank accounts.

Some liens are filed with the government to let the public know that the lienholder has an interest on the asset or property. A lien's public record tells anyone interested in purchasing the asset or collateral that the lien must be released before the asset can be sold.

There are many types of liens and lien holders. Liens can be put in place by financial institutions, governments, and small businesses. Below are some of the most common liens.

A lien is often granted when an individual takes out a loan from a bank to purchase an asset. For example, if an individual purchases a vehicle, the seller would be paid using the borrowed funds from the bank. In turn, the bank would be granted a lien on the vehicle. If the borrower does not repay the loan, the bank may execute the lien, seize the vehicle, and sell it to repay the loan.

If the borrower does repay the loan in full, the lien holder (the bank) then releases the lien, and the individual owns the car free and clear of any liens.

Judgment Lien

A judgment lien is a lien placed on assets by the courts, which is usually a result of a lawsuit. A judgment lien could help a defendant get paid back in a nonpayment case by liquidating the accused's assets.

Mechanic's Lien

A mechanic's lien can be attached to real property if the owner fails to pay a contractor for services rendered. If the debtor never pays, the contractor could go to court and get a judgment against the non-paying party whereby property or assets can be auctioned off to pay the lien holder. Many service providers have the option to place a lien to secure payment, including construction companies and dry cleaners. 

Real Estate Lien

A real estate lien is a legal right to seize and sell real estate property if a contract is not fulfilled. Some real estate liens are automatically put in place, such as in the case of a mortgage lien. When a party borrows money from a bank to purchase their home, the bank places a lien on the house until the mortgage is paid off.

However, some real estate liens are due to non-payment to a creditor or financial institution and as a result, are involuntary and nonconsensual liens.

There are also several statutory liens, meaning liens created by law instead of those created by a contract. These liens are very common in the field of taxation, where laws often allow tax authorities to put liens on the property of delinquent taxpayers. For example, municipalities can use liens to recover unpaid property taxes .

In the United States, if a taxpayer becomes delinquent and does not demonstrate any indication of paying owed taxes, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) may place a legal claim against a taxpayer's property, including the taxpayer's home, vehicle, and bank accounts. A notice of federal tax lien notifies creditors of the government's claim and can lead to a sheriff's sale . A sheriff's sale is a public auction whereby assets are repossessed, sold, and the generated funds are used to repay a debt to a creditor, bank, or the IRS.

A tax lien also affects the taxpayer's ability to sell existing assets and obtain credit. The only way to release a federal tax lien is to fully pay the tax owed or reach a settlement with the IRS. The IRS has the authority to seize a taxpayer's assets who ignore a tax lien. Typically, the IRS uses liens for delinquent taxes as a last resort, following all other options being exhausted, such as collection, installment repayment plans, and settlement.

When you buy a house using a mortgage, the lender has a legal right to seize your property, if you don't pay the mortgage. Your house basically is the collateral for the mortgage loan and when you borrow money to buy it, a mortgage lien is put on your house, until you pay off your mortgage.

A lien is simply the legal right of a lender to sell your property (a house or a car, for example) if don't meet your contractual obligations on the loan you took out to purchase it.

You can get rid of a lien on your property, car, or other asset by paying off your loan in full.

A right given to another by the owner of property to secure a debt, or one created by law in favor of certain creditors.

A lien is an encumbrance on one person's property to secure a debt the property owner owes to another person. The statement that someone's property is "tied up" describes the effect of liens on both real and Personal Property . Lien is a French word meaning "knot or binding" that was brought to Britain with the French language during the Norman Conquest in 1066.

Real Estate Liens

In many states a mortgage is regarded as a lien, not a complete transfer of title, and if not repaid the debt is recovered by foreclosure and sale of the real estate. Real estate is also affected by liens that favor local, state, and federal governments for real estate taxes and special assessments; state and federal governments for income and sales or use taxes; condominium and homeowners' associations; and general contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers, and laborers for the value of work or materials installed on real estate. The filing requirements and statutes of limitations for these liens vary according to the law of each state.

Perhaps the riskiest move a purchaser of real estate can make is to buy without making certain that there are no liens on the property or without obtaining title insurance against liens on the property. In many states liens are secret: that is, they are hidden from the public records until required to be filed.

The priority of liens on a construction project relates back to the first visible commencement of the work. This line of law makes the last work, perhaps landscaping, equal in priority to the first, excavating. This means that during the entire work of construction, the owner must obtain waivers of lien from each subcontractor and material supplier. Without these waivers the real estate is subject to liens of all such claimants, if the general contractor, though paid in full, fails to pay them. A waiver is a voluntary relinquishment of a known right. Waivers of lien must be in writing, give a sufficient description of the real estate, and be signed by the one claiming a lien. No payment need be made if the claimant agrees to release the land from the lien and rely only on the credit of the owner or general contractor for payment of the debt.

Lien claimants are protected in this way because all their materials and labor are "buried" in the real estate, having become part of it. They cannot be reclaimed without irreparable damage to the property. Unlike mortgage liens, the liens of these claimants, called mechanic's liens, offer no redemption in a foreclosure judgment.

Other Liens

The published statutes of a state usually have a section on the topic of liens under which is listed most or all of the liens allowed by state law. A great number of persons in trade or business obtain liens for their services to personal property: garage keepers and warehouse owners for unpaid rent for storage; automobile mechanics for repairs; jewelers; dry cleaners and furriers; artisans for restoration of art objects; bankers; factors dealing in commodities; and many others. Not to be outdone, attorneys have a lien for their fees and may retain clients' files—perhaps containing vital information or documents needed by the client for work or family affairs—until the fees are paid.

A judgment lien can, when entered by a court after a suit, affect all the real and personal property of one who fails to pay a debt, such as a promissory note to a bank, credit card balance, or judgment for injury the person may have caused. In some states the lien of a properly docketed judgment affects all the debtor's property in every county where notice of the judgment is filed. State law governs the length of time such liens survive—which in some states is as long as ten years. Judgments can be enforced by executions and sale of property until the amount due is satisfied.

Courts of Equity have the power to create so-called equitable liens on property to correct some injustice. For example, one whose money was embezzled may obtain a lien on the wrongdoer's property by suing for a Constructive Trust .

Discharging a Lien

Liens are discharged after a certain length of time. The requirements for commencing their foreclosure vary among the states. If a person pays and satisfies a lien, she should be careful to obtain a written, legally sufficient release or satisfaction, and file or record it in the appropriate government office, so that her title and credit reports no longer show the encumbrance.

n. any official claim or charge against property or funds for payment of a debt or an amount owed for services rendered. A lien is usually a formal document signed by the party to whom money is owed, and sometimes by the debtor who agrees to the amount due. A lien carries with it the right to sell property, if necessary, to obtain the money. A mortgage or a deed of trust is a form of lien, and any lien against real property must be recorded with the county recorder to be enforceable, including an abstract of judgment which turns a judgment into a lien against the judgment debtor's property. There are numerous types of liens including: a mechanic's lien against the real property upon which a workman, contractor or supplier has provided work or materials, an attorney's lien for fees to be paid from funds recovered by his/her efforts, a medical lien for medical bills to be paid from funds recovered for an injury, a landlord's lien against a tenant's property for unpaid rent or damages, a tax lien to enforce the government's claim of unpaid taxes, or the security agreement (UCC-1) authorized by the Uniform Commercial Code. Most liens are enforceable in the order in which they were recorded or filed (in the case of security agreements), except tax liens which have priority over the private citizen's claim. (See: judgment debtor , mechanic's lien , mortgage , deed of trust , landlord's lien , equitable lien )

An agent has a lien on the goods and chattels of his principal in respect of all claims arising out of his employment as an agent. The lien entitles the agent to detain goods in his possession belonging to his principal until all the legitimate claims of the agent have been satisfied. In connection with moveable property, a lien is the right of an agent or bailee to retain possession of a chattel entrusted to him until his claim has been paid; in relation to land, a vendor has a lien over the land for unpaid purchase money. Liens are either particular, as, for example, a right to retain a thing for some charge or claim arising out of or in connection with the thing, like that of a garage proprietor, or general, as, for example, a right to retain a thing not only for such charges or claims but also for a general balance of accounts between the parties in respect of other dealings of a like nature, such as the solicitor's lien.

The unpaid seller of goods who is in possession of the goods is entitled to retain possession of them until payment or tender of the price. This lien exists only where the buyer becomes insolvent. The seller may exercise his lien or right of retention notwithstanding that he is in possession of the goods as agent or bailee or custodier for the buyer. In order to exercise his lien, the seller must be in possession of the goods. He does not lose possession merely because he gives temporary or limited control of goods to the buyer, e.g. to mark them or pack them in his own containers. The unpaid seller of goods loses his lien or right of retention in respect of the goods in three situations:

  • (1) when he delivers the goods to a carrier or other bailee or custodier for the purpose of transmission to the buyer without reserving the right of disposal of goods;
  • (2) when the buyer or his agent lawfully obtains possession of the goods;
  • (3) a lien or right of retention may be lost by waiver.

On the dissolution of a partnership, each partner has a general lien on the firm's surplus assets; this lien arises out of a partner's statutory right to have the surplus assets (after payment of the firm's debts and liabilities) applied in payment of what may be due to the partners respectively (after deducting what may be due from them as partners to the firm).

In carriage of goods by road cases, the carrier has a right at common law to retain possession of goods until he is paid the freight owing to him for the carriage of the goods. In carriage of goods by sea cases, the carrier has a lien at common law not only in respect of the freight and general average contribution due in respect of the goods upon which he exercises the lien but also for sums due for freight and general average in respect of all the goods of the same owner in the same ship of the same voyage.

LIEN, contracts. In its most extensive signification, this term includes every case in which real or personal property is charged with the payment of any debt or duty; every such charge being denominated a lien on the property. In a more limited sense it is defined to be a right of detaining the property of another until some claim be satisfied. 2 East 235; 6 East 25; 2 Campb. 579; 2 Meriv. 494; 2 Rose, 357; 1 Dall. R. 345.      2. The right of lien generally arises by operation of law, but in some cases it is created by express contract.      3. There are two kinds of lien; namely, particular and general. When a person claims a right to retain property, in respect of money or labor expended on such particular property, this is a particular lien. Liens may arise in three ways: 1st. By express contract. 2d. From implied contract, as from general or particular usage of trade. 3d. By legal relation between the parties, which may be created in three ways; When the law casts an obligation on a party to do a particular act, and in return for which, to secure him payment, it gives him such lien; 1 Esp. R. 109; 6 East, 519; 2 Ld. Raym. 866; common carriers and inn keepers are among this number. 2. When goods are delivered to a tradesman or any other, to expend his labor upon, he is entitled to detain those goods until he is remunerated for the labor which he so expends. 2 Roll. Ab. 92; 3 M. & S. 167; 14 Pick. 332; 3 Bouv. Inst. n. 2514. 3. When goods have been saved from the perils of the sea, the salvor may detain them until his claim for salvage is satisfied; but in no other case has the finder of goods, a lien. 2 Salk. 654; 5 Burr. 2732; 3 Bouv. Inst. n. 2518. General liens arise in three ways; 1. By the agreement of the parties. 6 T. R.14; 3 Bos. & Pull. 42. 2. By the general usage of trade. 3. By particular usage of trade. Whitaker on Liens 35; Prec. Ch. 580; 1 Atk. 235; 6 T. R. 19.      4. It may be proper to consider a few, general principles: 1. As to the manner in which a lien may be acquired. 2. To what claims liens properly attach. 3. How they may be lost. 4. Their effect.      5.-1. How liens may be acquired. To create a valid lien, it is essential, 1st. That the party to whom or by whom it is acquired should have the absolute property or ownership of the thing, or, at least, a right to vest it. 2d. That the party claiming the lien should have an actual or constructive, possession, with the assent of the party against whom the claim is made. 3 Chit. Com. Law, 547; Paley on Ag. by Lloyd, 137; 17 Mass. R. 197; 4 Campb. R. 291; 3 T. R. 119 and 783; 1 East, R. 4; 7 East, R. 5; 1 Stark. R. 123; 3 Rose, R. 955; 3 Price, R. 547; 5 Binn. R. 392. 3d. That the lien should arise upon an agreement, express or implied, and not be for a limited or specific purpose inconsistent with the express terms, or the clear, intent of the contract; 2 Stark. R. 272; 6 T. R. 258; 7 Taunt. 278;. 5 M. & S. 180; 15 Mass. 389, 397; as, for example, when goods are deposited to be delivered to a third person, or to be transported to another place. Pal. on Ag. by Lloyd, 140.      6.-2. The debts or claims to which liens properly attach. 1st. In general, liens properly attach on liquidated demands, and not on those which sound only in damages; 3 Chit. Com. Law, 548; though by an express contract they may attach even in such a case as, where the goods are to be held as an indemnity against a future contingent claim or damages. Ibid. 2d. The claim for which the lien is asserted, must he due to the party claiming it in his own right, and not merely as agent of a third person. It must be a debt or demand due from the very person for whose benefit the party is acting, and not from a third person, although the goods may be claimed through him. Pal. Ag. by Lloyd, 132.      7.-3. How a lien may be lost. 1st. It may be waived or lost by any act or agreement between the parties, by which it is surrendered, or becomes inapplicable. 2d. It may also be lost by voluntarily parting with the possession of the goods. But to this rule there are some exceptions; for example, when a factor by lawful authority sells the goods of his principal, and parts with the possession under the sale he is not, by this act, deemed to lose his lien, but it attaches to the proceeds of the sale in the hands of the vendee.      8.-4. The effect of liens. In general, the right of the holder of the lien is confined to the mere right of retainer. But when the creditor has made advances on the goods of a factor, he is generally invested with the right to sell. Holt's N P. Rep. 383; 3 Chit. Com. Law, 551; 2 Liverm. Ag. 103; 2 Kent's Com. 642, 3d ed. In some cases where the lien would not confer power to sell, a court of equity would decree it. 1 Story Eq. Jur. Sec. 566; 2 Story, Eq. Jur. Sec. 1216; Story Ag. Sec. 371. And courts of admiralty will decree a sale to satisfy maritime liens. Ab. Sh. pt. 3, c10. Sec. 2; Story, Ag. Sec. 371.      9. Judgments rendered in courts of record are generally liens on the real estate of the defendants or parties against whom such judgments are given. In Alabama, Georgia and Indiana, judgment is a lien; in the last mentioned state, it continues for ten years from January 1, 1826, if it was rendered from that time; if, after ten years from the rendition of the judgment, and when the proceedings are stayed by order of the court, or by an agreement recorded, the time of its suspension is not reckoned in the ten years. A judgment does not bind lands in Kentucky, the lien commences by the delivery of execution to the sheriff, or officer. 4 Pet. R. 366; 1 Dane's R. 360. The law seems to be the same in Mississippi. 2 Hill. Ab. c. 46, s. 6., In New Jersey, the judgments take priority among themselves in the order the executions on them have been issued. The lien of a judgment and the decree of a court of chancery continue a lien in New York for ten years, and bind after acquired lands. N. Y. Stat. part 3, t. 4, s. 3. It seems that a judgment is a lien in North Carolina, if an elegit has been sued out, but this is perhaps not settled. 2 Murph. R. 43. The lien of a judgment in Ohio is confined to the county, and continues only for one year, unless revived. It does not, per se, bind after acquired lands. In Pennsylvania, it commences with the rendering of judgment, and continues five years from the return day of that term. It does not, per se, bind after acquired lands. It may be revived by scire facias, or an agreement of the parties, and terre tenants, written and filed. In South Carolina and Tennessee a judgment is also a lien. In the New England states, lands are attached by mesne process or on the writ, and a lien is thereby created. See 2 Hill. Ab. c. 46.     10. Liens are also divided into legal and equitable. The former are those which may be enforced in a court of law; the latter are valid only in a court of equity. The lien which the vendor of real estate has on the estate sold, for the purchase money remaining unpaid, is a familiar example of an equitable lien. Math. on Pres. 392. Vide Purchase money. Vide, generally, Yelv. 67, a; 2 Kent, Com. 495; Pal Ag. 107; Whit. on Liens; Story on Ag. ch. 14, Sec. 351, et seq: Hov. Fr. 35.     11. Lien of mechanics and material men. By virtue of express statutes in several of the states, mechanics and material men, or persons who furnish materials for the erection of houses or other buildings, are entitled to a lien or preference in the payment of debts out of the houses and buildings so erected, and to the land, to a greater or lessor extent, on which they are erected. A considerable similarity exists in the laws of the different states which have legislated on this subject.     12. The lien generally attaches from the commencement of the work or the furnishing of materials, and continues for a limited period of time. In some states, a claim must be filed in the office of the clerk or prothonotary of the court, or a suit brought within a limited time. On the sale of the building these liens are to be paid pro rata. In some states no lien is created unless the work done or the goods furnished amount to a certain specified sum, while in others there is no limit to the amount. In general, none but the original contractors can claim under the law; sometimes, however, sub-contractors have the same right.     13. The remedy is various; in some states, it is by scire facias on the lien, in others, it is by petition to the court for an order of sale: in some, the property is subject to foreclosure, as on a mortgage; in others, by a common action. See 1 Hill. Ab. ch. 40, p. 354, where will be found an abstract of the laws of the several states, except the state of Louisiana; for the laws of that state, see Civ. Code of Louis. art. 2727 to 2748. See generally, 5 Binn. 585; 2 Browne, R. 229, n. 275; 2 Rawle R. 316; Id. 343; 3 Rawle, R. 492; 5 Rawle R. 291; 2 Whart. R. 223; 2 S. & R. 138; 14 S. & R. 32; 12 S. & R. 301; 3 Watts, R. 140, 141; Id. 301; 5 Watts, R. 487; 14 Pick. P,. 49; Serg. on Mech. Liens.

PARTICULAR, LIEN, contracts. A right which a person has to retain property in respect of money or labor expended on such particular property. For example, when a tailor has made garments out of cloth delivered to him for the purpose, he is not bound to part with the clothes until his employer, has paid him for his services; nor a ship carpenter with a ship which he has repaired; nor can an engraver be compelled to deliver the seal which he has engraved for another, until his compensation has been paid. 2 Roll. Ab. 92; 3 M. & S. 167; 14 Pick. 332; 3 Bouv. Inst. n. 2514. Vide Lien.

Tax liens are serious business if you owe back taxes. Here’s how they can affect you, as well as some tips for what to do to remove a tax lien.

assignment of lien definition

What is a tax lien?

A tax lien is a legal claim a government places on real estate or other assets when the owner is past due on taxes. The IRS can place a lien on a person's current home, car, and bank account, as well as any future property they acquire. Municipalities may sell tax liens to investors who pay the tax bill in return for the right to collect the money and interest from property owners.

If you don’t take care of a federal tax lien, a tax levy — an actual seizure of property to pay taxes owed — could come next. Tax levies can include things such as garnishing your wages or seizing assets and bank accounts.

What does it mean if you have a tax lien?

If you owe back taxes and the IRS places a federal tax lien, here’s what could happen next.

Your creditworthiness could take a nosedive. Tax liens may not appear on credit reports anymore , but the IRS can still file a public notice of the tax lien, telling creditors the government has a right to your property. That could jeopardize your ability to get a loan, says David Klasing, a CPA and tax attorney in Irvine, California.

It can jeopardize a home sale or refinancing. Tax liens often surface during title searches. If you have equity in a house you’re trying to sell or refinance, you’ll likely have to use some of it to pay your taxes in order to close.

It can cost you a lot of time. The IRS funnels many overdue taxpayers into its automated collection system, or ACS, which can mean spending hours on hold with the call center, Klasing warns. Some taxpayers might be assigned to a revenue officer, which could mean in-person visits, he adds.

You can end up with a tax levy. If you don’t pay your back taxes after the IRS files a federal tax lien, the IRS may then issue a Notice of Intent to Levy.

How to get a tax lien removed

The easiest way to get a tax lien removed is to pay the outstanding tax bill in full. Once your payment is processed, the IRS will remove the tax lien within 30 days. [0] Internal Revenue Service . Understanding a Federal Tax Lien . View all sources There are some other options to consider as well:

Get on an IRS payment plan

Your tax balance will still accrue interest and penalties until it’s paid off, but if you allow the IRS to take at least three consecutive payments right out of your bank account (called a direct debit installment agreement), you might be able to get the IRS to withdraw the federal tax lien from public record. [0] Internal Revenue Service . Understanding a Federal Tax Lien . Accessed May 3, 2023. View all sources (You’ll still have to pay your tax debt, of course.) You don’t necessarily need to hire anyone to get on an IRS payment plan — you can apply right on the IRS website. Fees run from $0 to $225 depending on the plan and your income.

Ask for an offer in compromise

An OIC, or offer in compromise , is an offer to settle your back taxes for less than the full amount you owe. There are lots of rules, and the IRS typically accepts fewer than half of the applications it gets in a year. [0] Internal Revenue Service . 2022 IRS Data Book . View all sources To even be considered, you need to have filed all of your tax returns, plus make the required estimated tax payments for the current year. You also won’t be considered if you’re in bankruptcy or are being audited.

File an appeal

You can ask for a collection due process hearing from the IRS Office of Appeals if you want a review of a lien or levy notice. Also, if you disagree with an IRS employee’s decision about a lien or levy, you can ask for a conference with the employee’s manager and ask the Office of Appeals to review your case. [0] Taxpayer Advocate Service . Taxpayer Requests Collection Appeals Program . Accessed Sep 16, 2022. View all sources

It’s not a pretty option, but in some cases, it can get rid of tax debt. However, it’s often a long process, there are a lot of rules and it doesn’t always work, Klasing warns.
