What to do first

An IRS federal tax lien attaches to all your property but does not mean you cannot sell. Lien discharge (Form 14135), subordination, and the Fresh Start program offer paths to clear title. Acting before the 10-year collection statute expires gives you leverage.

Start with

  1. Request a lien discharge (Form 14135) at least 45 days before your planned closing date.
  2. Explore the IRS Fresh Start program — installment agreements up to $50,000 and OIC for qualifying taxpayers.
  3. Consult the Taxpayer Advocate Service (1-877-777-4778) if you are facing financial hardship or timing pressure.

Avoid

  1. Assume an IRS lien prevents selling — lien discharge allows property sales with IRS cooperation.
  2. Ignore the lien and hope the IRS does not enforce it — the 10-year collection period can be suspended.
  3. Try to transfer or hide property to avoid an IRS lien — this can result in criminal penalties.

Step-by-step action plan

A starting path you can follow before committing to any contract or agreement.

  1. Request a transcript from the IRS (1-800-829-1040) to confirm the exact amount owed and assessment dates.
  2. Search the NC Secretary of State database to confirm whether a Notice of Federal Tax Lien has been filed.
  3. Contact the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service (1-877-777-4778) if you are facing financial hardship or need help.
