What is an IRS Tax Lien?
An IRS tax lien is a legal claim the federal government places on your property when you owe unpaid taxes. This is how it goes:
- You receive a bill for unpaid taxes from the IRS. If you ignore it, they file a public Notice of Federal Tax Lien (NFTL)
- This lien is fastened against all your current and future property, which includes your home, car, and business, too.
- The federal tax lien can make it tough to sell or refinance your property and may lower your credit score.
- The IRS uses tax liens to secure payment of your tax debt.
- The Notice of Federal Tax Lien alerts creditors that the government has a legal right to your property.
- Liens follow you until the debt is paid or the IRS issues an IRS lien release.
A recent IRS report shows tax liens are widespread. Act quickly to avoid foreclosure or wage garnishment;
resolving a Georgia state tax lien protects your property and finances.

How does this process begin?
It begins when the IRS figures out that you owe taxes and sends you a bill, known as a Notice and Demand for Payment. This notice shows the amount due, and it’s important to take it seriously. If you don’t pay within 10 days, the IRS can proceed with IRS tax liens.
If the bill isn’t paid after this period, the IRS files a public document called a Notice of Federal Tax Lien. This makes your tax debt public and alerts other creditors.
What’s the significance of this step?
A tax lien lets all creditors know the IRS has a legal claim on your property. The lien covers everything you own, including property, securities, and vehicles, and it extends to future assets you acquire while the lien is active.
While IRS tax liens don’t immediately lead to property seizures, they complicate your financial life. It makes it harder to sell assets or get credit, affecting your everyday finances.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dealing with tax liens in Georgia can be complicated, requiring a good understanding of tax laws. Bowes & Sullivan can make a big difference. Our tax experts will guide you through the process, help resolve your tax issues, and potentially prevent more serious consequences, such as the filing of a Georgia state tax lien.
The IRS can file a tax lien if you haven’t paid your taxes within a certain period. The IRS has up to 10 years to collect unpaid taxes. If the debt remains unpaid, they may file a lien, giving them the right to collect the debt from your property. This can happen both on the federal level or through a Georgia tax lien if the unpaid taxes involve state liabilities.
In addition to resolving Georgia tax liens, we also assist with IRS tax audits by helping you prepare the necessary documents and ensuring everything is handled properly. If you’re dealing with an IRS tax levy, we work to protect your assets and provide solutions to settle your tax debt.
Yes, the IRS can refile a tax lien after 10 years if your debt remains unpaid. However, if you enter into a payment agreement with the IRS, they won’t refile the lien. This also applies to Georgia tax liens, where payment arrangements can prevent refiling at the state level.
Although tax liens no longer appear on credit reports since 2018, a Georgia state tax lien or federal lien can still affect your ability to get loans or credit. Lenders may be hesitant to approve you if they know there’s a lien on your property.
To remove a Georgia tax lien or IRS lien, you need to fully pay the tax debt. Once paid, the lien will be released within 30 days. You can also apply for a lien withdrawal, which removes the public record of the lien, ensuring the IRS or state is no longer competing with creditors for your property.
No, the IRS must notify you before placing a lien. They do this by filing a Notice of Federal Tax Lien, which informs creditors that the IRS has a claim on your property. This applies similarly with Georgia tax liens, where state authorities must also notify you before placing a lien. We can help you understand your rights and act promptly to address the situation
Yes, an IRS tax lien typically expires 10 years after the tax assessment, unless extended. Georgia tax liens follow a similar expiration period, but like the IRS, the state can extend the period under certain conditions. Our professionals can review your case to ensure the lien is managed within this timeline.
Yes, both IRS and Georgia tax liens are public records. They notify creditors that the government has a legal claim to your property. We can guide you on how to manage the effects of these public records.
You can check for an IRS lien by contacting your local county clerk’s office, where the lien is filed. For Georgia tax liens, you can also check with the county clerk or contact the Georgia Department of Revenue for information. Our team can help you get through the steps to confirm any liens against you.
