The IRS has a tax lien filed against me. How can I still sell my property?

A tax lien does not need to prevent you from selling your real property if you know how to deal with it.

A tax lien is automatically created if a tax liability is not paid after the IRS sends a notice that the amount due and a demand that it be paid. The IRS may then file a notice of federal tax lien with the County Clerk where real property is located.

A lien can be dealt with to allow you to refinance or sell your real property. If you would like to refinance your property, you may be able to obtain a certificate of subordination from the IRS. If the taxes are to be paid from the post seize of the property you can ask the IRS to issue a certificate of discharge.

Our firm can help you deal with tax liens that have been filed against you. Call us today for more information.
