Centralized Lien Operation — To resolve basic and routine lien issues: verify a lien, request lien payoff amount, or release a lien, call 800-913-6050 or e-fax 855-390-3530.
If the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has placed a tax lien on your property, once you've satisfied the debt, the IRS should notify you that the lien has been removed. To do so, the IRS should send you a “Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien,” also known as Form 668(Z).
2. Mail the completed Form 14135 and the appropriate attachments to: IRS Advisory Consolidated Receipts 7940 Kentucky Drive, Stop 2850F Florence, KY 41042 (Refer to Publication 4235 Collection Advisory Group Addresses for additional contact information.)
To request IRS consider discharge, complete Form 14135, Application for Certificate of Discharge of Property from Federal Tax Lien.
You'll only be notified of a tax lien after it's already been filed. The IRS sends taxpayers an official Notice of Federal Tax Lien. These liens go into effect 10 days after the IRS issues a record of an existing obligation.
If the debt is $10,000 or more (up from $5,000 before the IRS Fresh Start program), then the IRS will file a federal tax lien as early as ten days after you receive your notice.
For a copy of the recorded certificate, you must contact the recording office where the Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien was filed. If the federal tax lien has not been released within 30 days of satisfying your tax liability, you can request a Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien.
