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).
The IRS withholding lock-in letter cannot be removed once issued and can only be modified when the employee has shown compliance with the lock-in letter for three years.
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.
