How to Get Rid of a LienPaying your tax debt - in full - is the best way to get rid of a federal tax lien. The IRS releases your lien within 30 days after you have paid your tax debt.When conditions are in the best interest of both the government and the taxpayer, other options for reducing the impact of a lien exist.Discharge of propertyA "discharge" removes the lien from specific property. There are several Internal Revenue Code (IRC) provisions that determine eligibility. For more information, refer to Publication 783, Instructions on How to Apply for Certificate of Discharge From Federal Tax Lien (PDF) and the video Selling or Refinancing when there is an IRS Lien.Subordination"Subordination" does not remove the lien, but allows other creditors to move ahead of the IRS, which may make it easier to get a loan or mortgage. To determine eligibility, refer to Publication 784, Instructions on How to Apply for a Certificate of Subordination of Federal Tax Lien (PDF) and the video Selling or Refinancing when there is an IRS Lien.WithdrawalA "withdrawal" removes the public Notice of Federal Tax Lien and assures that the IRS is not competing with other creditors for your property; however, you are still liable for the amount due. For eligibility, refer to Form 12277, Application for the Withdrawal of Filed Form 668(Y), Notice of Federal Tax Lien (Internal Revenue Code Section 6323(j)) (PDF) and the video Lien Notice Withdrawal.Two additional Withdrawal options resulted from the Commissioner’s 2011 Fresh Start initiative.One option may allow withdrawal of your Notice of Federal Tax Lien after the lien’s release. General eligibility includes:Your tax liability has been satisfied and your lien has been released; and also:You are in compliance for the past three years in filing - all individual returns, business returns, and information returns;You are current on your estimated tax payments and federal tax deposits, as applicable.The other option may allow withdrawal of your Notice of Federal Tax Lien if you have entered in or converted your regular installment agreement to a Direct Debit installment agreement. General eligibility includes:You are a qualifying taxpayer (i.e. individuals, businesses with income tax liability only, and out of business entities with any type of tax debt)You owe $25,000 or less (If you owe more than $25,000, you may pay down the balance to $25,000 prior to requesting withdrawal of the Notice of Federal Tax Lien)Your Direct Debit Installment Agreement must full pay the amount you owe within 60 months or before the Collection Statute expires, whichever is earlierYou are in full compliance with other filing and payment requirementsYou have made three consecutive direct debit paymentsYou can’t have defaulted on your current, or any previous, Direct Debit Installment agreement.How a Lien Affects YouAssets — A lien attaches to all of your assets (such as property, securities, vehicles) and to future assets acquired during the duration of the lien.Credit — Once the IRS files a Notice of Federal Tax Lien, it may limit your ability to get credit.Business — The lien attaches to all business property and to all rights to business property, including accounts receivable.Bankruptcy — If you file for bankruptcy, your tax debt, lien, and Notice of Federal Tax Lien may continue after the bankruptcy.Avoid a LienYou can avoid a federal tax lien by simply filing and paying all your taxes in full and on time. If you can’t file or pay on time, don’t ignore the letters or correspondence you get from the IRS. If you can’t pay the full amount you owe, payment options are available to help you settle your tax debt over time.

If you believe you have had a lien released due to bankruptcy, please call the FTB. There are several reasons that your lien might not be released with bankruptcy.BankruptcyIf you filed bankruptcy, contact FTB immediately by phone 916.845.4750 or fax 916.845.9799.Once a lien is recorded, the lien continues in effect for 10 years unless extended for an additional 10 years (California Government Code Section 7172(b)).The FTB does not report lien information directly to the credit bureau agencies. The Notice of State Tax Lien and Release of Lien become public information after being recorded at a county recorder’s office or filed with the California Secretary of State. The credit bureau agencies get the information from either the county recorder or California Secretary of State and report it on your credit bureau report. We do not govern the credit bureau agency’s policy regarding the length of time or the accuracy of the information they keep on your credit bureau report.It has been my experience that tax debt can rarely be written off in a bankruptcy, and you should make enemies out of the collectors assigned to your case. The law is usually on their side. Remember, honey attracts more flies than vinegar. If the balance due was based on a return you filed, or backed by an IRS audit, then the balance is probably due. If the balance is due to an assessment the FTB made (based on information they received), and you have not filed a return, you might have a chance to dispute the balance. Assessments are based on a single filing status with no dependents. If you are married with 10 kids, you probably do not owe and it would behoove you to file a return.Call FTB at the number provided above to talk to an agent, and be nice and sincere. Do not make promises you can’t keep, and be honest. They all pay taxes too…

Yes, but lacking the specifics of each state I cant tell you a boilerplate answer as every state has different rules.But as a landlord their is a concept called “Lien of Chattels” and is a legal mechanism to lay legal claim to property to either dispose of it or sell it. Most cases the law allows you a reasonable storage fee per day or week and once the value of the vehicle is exceeded, you can claim it and then scrap it or sell it.Some states its very complicated, others dead simple. Some people use a tow company to facilitate this. By law a towing company has an easier time doing this and a big part of their revenue to tow and then sell cars.Ever hear of Police or tow auctions? Its not just insurance companies selling wrecks. You can buy some nice rides at these auctions. When I got out of the military I flipped cars for a living. Id pick certain types of vehicles and then fix them up and resell them.Most regions have a huge economy based on this, Either parting them out (Wrecking yards) Scrapping, or fixing and selling. However there is a shady side of it. A lot of stolen cars as well laundered like this.Most places you have to mail registered letters to last known address even if its your own. If they did a mail fwd at the Post office they will get it. But you have to have legal proof you tried to reach them to reclaim their property or it will be sold for fees or scrapped. Some places you have to put in a notice in a newspaper.In my area it was common for someone with no insurance or license to buy a cheap vehicle with good tags and drive it till it broke down or they got caught by the police. So the law is to report your vehicle sale to the DMV. So if its used in a crime you are not legally liable. But once that vehicle is abandoned, which is common, You can contact the previous owner because it was not retitled and get them to sign it over. Most are happy to get it out of their names.You can then apply for a new title. In my state a VIN inspection by the DMV and that form signed off and stamped by the DMV is a legal document. Then a Notarized Bill of sale is a 2nd legal document. I can then apply for a title. However for an abandoned vehicle you have to go thru the legal process. Lien of Chattels. Lien - WikipediaA lien (/ˈliːn/ or /ˈliːən/)is a form of security interest granted over an item of property to secure the payment of a debt or performance of some other obligation. The owner of the property, who grants the lien, is referred to as the lienee] and the person who has the benefit of the lien is referred to as the lienor] or lien holder.The etymological root is Anglo-French lien, loyen "bond", "restraint", from Latin ligamen, fromligare "to bind".In the United States, the term lien generally refers to a wide range of encumbrances and would include other forms of mortgage or charge. In the US, a lien characteristically refers tononpossessory security interests (see generally: Security interest—categories).In other common-law countries, the term lien refers to a very specific type of security interest, being a passive right to retain (but not sell) property until the debt or other obligation is discharged. In contrast to the usage of the term in the US, in other countries it refers to a purely possessory form of security interest; indeed, when possession of the property is lost, the lien is released.However, common-law countries also recognize a slightly anomalous form of security interest called an "equitable lien" which arises in certain rare instances.Despite their differences in terminology and application, there are a number of similarities between liens in the US and elsewhere in the common-law world.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~But there is 50 different answers to this question depending on which state you live in. Add in US possessions like Puerto Rico and others,, outside the US even more.
