If you owe the IRS more than $50k you are about to lose your passport. The US Congress passed legislation in December requiring the IRS to provide a list to the US State Department of all US taxpayers who owe the IRS $50,000 or more. If you owe the IRS more than $50k you should contact the IRS tax attorneys at Allen Barron immediately. We represent US taxpayers before the IRS and California’s tax agencies. We will work to reach a successful resolution of your case with the IRS through a variety of strategies. Allen Barron’s aggressive team can help you to keep your passport and come into compliance with the IRS.
The legislation calls for the IRS to identify any US taxpayer who owes $50,000, including penalties and interest. The law enables the US State Department to immediately revoke those passports and refuse to issue a new passport to anyone on the active IRS list. The IRS confirmed recently that it was commencing the process of identifying those taxpayers and sending certification to the State Department. The IRS is also sending the notice of certification, IRS letter 508C to US taxpayers who fall into the “seriously delinquent” category established by Congress. The IRS expects the State Department to begin revocation within 90 days.
