Section 6325(a) of the Internal Revenue Code directs us to release a Federal Tax Lien after a tax liability becomes fully paid or legally unenforceable. We also must release a lien when we accept a bond for payment of the tax.
If we haven’t released the lien within 30 days, you can ask for a Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien.
If you have paid the tax you owed and have not received a copy of the Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien, you may call 1-800-913-6050. If you prefer to write, see page 2 for the address to which your request should be mailed or faxed.
The certificate you receive will not show the official recording information. For a copy of the recorded certificate, you must contact the recording office where the Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien was filed.
Requests for certificates of release for any other reason should be mailed to IRS, Attn: Technical Services Advisory Group Manager. Use Publication 4235, Technical Services Advisory Group Addresses, to determine where to mail your request.
Send your written request with any required documents to the appropriate address.
Your request must contain the following information:
1. The date of your request, 2. The name and address of the taxpayer, 3. One copy of each Notice of Federal Tax Lien you want released, and 4. Why you want us to release the lien. If you’ve paid the tax, enclose a copy of either of the following:
1. An Internal Revenue receipt, 2. A canceled check, or 3. Any other acceptable proof. Please include a telephone number with the best time for us to call you should we need additional information.
We may need to research your account to confirm you no longer have a liability. We will provide a release once we have done so.
If you have an immediate or urgent need for a Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien, visit or telephone your local IRS office. Be prepared to show proof of payment.
You can pay any unpaid tax with a certified check, cashier’s check, or postal or bank money order to receive the certificate of release.
