Resolve Your Tax Debt to Avoid Passport Revocation
The IRS is urging taxpayers with significant tax debts to take action to avoid jeopardizing their passports. If you owe $52,000 or more in back taxes, penalties, and interest, the IRS will certify your debt to the U.S. State Department. This certification can lead to serious consequences, including the denial of passport applications or renewals. For those already holding a valid passport, the State Department may revoke it or restrict international travel.
When the IRS certifies a seriously delinquent tax debt, they will send you a notice explaining the steps needed to resolve the situation. While the prospect of losing your passport is daunting, there are ways to address the issue before it escalates. Options include setting up a payment plan, negotiating an Offer in Compromise, or seeking other forms of resolution to demonstrate your commitment to addressing the debt.
If you believe you might fall into this category, don’t wait to take action. The sooner you address the issue, the more options you’ll have to protect your travel privileges and avoid further penalties.
I can help you navigate this process, even if you haven’t yet received an official notice from the IRS. Together, we’ll assess your situation, explore your options, and develop a strategy to resolve your tax debt efficiently.
