If you owe the IRS money, you may not be able to leave the country. The IRS is taking away passports as part of IRS Section 7345. It allows them to advise with the State Department to suspend or deny the passports of taxpayers. Luckily, this mostly applies to those who owe a lot of money.
One common tool that is often used to attempt to resolve tax problems is submitting an Offer in Compromise to the IRS. An “OIC” is a document that is involved in what is essentially a negotiation with the IRS to settle the outstanding tax debt for less than the total amount owed.
