🏡 Selling or Refinancing a Property With a Tax Lien? Here's What You Need to Know!
If there’s a federal tax lien on your property, it can definitely complicate the process — but it doesn’t have to stop your sale or refinance altogether.
The IRS provides two key tools that can help:
🔹 Certificate of Discharge – This removes the lien from a specific property, allowing you to sell or refinance even if you still owe back taxes.
🔹 Certificate of Subordination – This doesn’t remove the lien, but it lets other creditors (like mortgage lenders) take priority over the IRS lien — often making refinancing possible.
Key Things to Remember:
✅ Yes, you can sell or refinance with a tax lien — but you’ll need the proper IRS approvals.
✅ Timing is everything. These requests can take several weeks to process, so don’t delay.
✅ Having a tax professional in your corner can help move things forward smoothly and avoid unnecessary roadblocks.
If you — or your client — are trying to close a deal and a tax lien is getting in the way, let’s talk. I can help you navigate the IRS process and keep your closing on track.
