Lien Discharges or Subordinations

If the IRS has attached a Federal Tax Lien to your property, you may still retain ownership… but selling or refinancing will be nearly impossible until the lien is addressed. While paying the tax debt in full is the most direct solution, it’s not realistic for most taxpayers. Fortunately, there are other ways forward — including petitioning the IRS for a Certificate of Lien Discharge or Lien Subordination.

Lien Discharge

A Certificate of Lien Discharge removes the lien from your property, allowing it to be sold free of the IRS claim. It’s important to understand that a discharge does not erase your tax debt — you will still owe the balance, plus penalties and interest. However, removing the lien can eliminate a major obstacle, put you in a stronger financial position, and often open the door to addressing your tax debt in other ways.

Lien Subordination

A Federal Tax Lien normally takes priority over any other loans made after it’s filed, which can scare off lenders. A Certificate of Lien Subordination changes that priority, allowing a new lender to take a higher position than the IRS. While this does not remove the lien or resolve your tax debt, it can make refinancing or securing a new loan possible — which may help relieve financial pressure and give you the means to begin paying down your tax debt.
