When is the IRS required to issue a Lien Release?
The IRS is required to issue a release of the Notice of Federal Tax Lien within 30 days after the taxpayer satisfies the tax due (including all penalties and interest) or within 30 days after IRS accepts the taxpayers bond guaranteeing payment of the debt. Also, the IRS must release a lien within 30 days after the tax debt becomes unenforceable, depending on the statute of limitations on collection. All requests for release of lien should be in writing.
