What is a Federal Tax Lien?

I’m tax attorney Steve Klitzner. It’s my job to protect folks with IRS problems and to exercise their rights. Now a question that is often asked of me is, “What is a federal tax lien?” Part two to the question is, “How do I get rid of it?”

Well, first of all, a federal tax lien is what the IRS files in the county where you live that’ll protect their interest. If you have any assets or any property, it’ll attach to that property. It’ll also mess up your credit pretty good. Sometimes it can lower it by 75 to 100 points.

Now there are some ways to get rid of a federal tax lien. In certain hardship circumstances we can do it. But other than that, if we can get your balance down to a certain amount of money, or if we get the tax paid, I can get than lien withdrawn. Not just released, but withdrawn as if it never existed. So we can restore your credit.

Give us a call. The consultation with me, personally, is always free. Till
