Lien Withdrawal Petitions

A Lien Withdrawal removes the public notice of a Federal Tax Lien and ensures the IRS is no longer competing with other creditors for your property. It’s important to note that a withdrawal does not erase your responsibility to pay the tax debt, you are still liable if the balance hasn’t been paid in full.

While personal credit reporting rules changed in 2017, removing civil judgment records (including tax liens) from Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion reports, tax liens can still appear on mortgage-related credit pulls and business credit bureau reports. That means a lien can still impact your ability to borrow or do business.

There are two main options for petitioning a Lien Withdrawal:

• Withdrawal of Notice of Federal Tax Lien After Release — Applies when your tax liability has been fully paid and you are current on all applicable tax deposits.

• Withdrawal of Notice of Federal Tax Lien After Entering a Direct Debit Installment Agreement — Requires meeting specific criteria, such as owing $25,000 or less in tax liability and making timely payments under a direct debit arrangement.

Qualifying for lien withdrawal depends on meeting IRS requirements and submitting the right documentation and the rules vary depending on your specific situation.
