Liens attach to everything you own

Tax Lien Relief

A lien doesn't take your property — it poisons it. Let's clean your title and your credit.

When the IRS claims everything you own

A federal tax lien is the government's legal claim against your property — your home, your car, your business assets, even property you buy in the future. It shows up on credit reports, scares lenders, and can kill a home sale or refinance mid-deal.

Liens aren't always permanent. Depending on your situation, the IRS may withdraw the lien, discharge specific property from it, or subordinate it so a sale or loan can proceed. Each path has its own rules — a CPA picks the right one.

Common questions

What's the difference between a lien and a levy?

A lien is a claim against your property — it secures the debt. A levy is the IRS actually taking property or money. Liens often come first; levies are the escalation.

Can a lien be removed if I still owe the tax?

In some cases, yes — withdrawal doesn't require full payment. Discharge and subordination are about specific property. It depends on the facts, which is why the analysis comes first.

Will paying off the debt automatically remove the lien?

The lien is eventually released after full payment, but 'eventually' can mean weeks of credit-report damage in the meantime — and release isn't the same as withdrawal for your records.

I'm selling my house — can the sale still close?

Often yes, with a discharge or subordination handled correctly and quickly. If you have a closing date, call now — title problems don't fix themselves.
