Find Out If You Qualify for Tax Relief in 4 Easy Steps!
In 2025, the IRS has increased enforcement through expanded use of the Collection Due Process (CDP) and stricter scrutiny of lien withdrawal requests. That’s why working with a seasoned tax lien attorney is more critical than ever. At J. David Tax Law, we develop customized strategies to resolve your tax lien efficiently and permanently. Whether you qualify for an Offer in Compromise, Installment Agreement, or need urgent action to protect your property, we tailor our approach to your situation.
We manage every stage of the process, from completing and submitting IRS Form 12277 for lien withdrawal, to negotiating subordination, and filing appeals when necessary. If the IRS denies your request, we escalate fast, using legal remedies that preserve your rights and assets. With rising property values and tighter IRS collection tactics in 2025, delays can cost you equity, financing opportunities, or business leverage. Don’t take that risk.
If a tax lien has been filed against you, the window to act is narrow, and the consequences of inaction grow fast. Many people don’t realize a lien can sit quietly while restricting your ability to sell a home, secure financing, or even open new credit lines. The IRS doesn’t need court approval to assert its claim. By the time you receive formal notice, it’s already affecting your financial profile.
At J. David Tax Law, our IRS tax lien attorneys help clients navigate the complex layers of federal and state lien enforcement. Whether the lien stems from personal income taxes, payroll obligations, or unresolved back taxes, our attorneys evaluate every legal path available, from direct lien withdrawal to strategic alternatives like subordination, appeal, or structured repayment.
Not all tax lien cases can be resolved through paperwork alone. When the Internal Revenue Service or a state taxing authority oversteps, refuses withdrawal, or improperly files a lien, litigation becomes a powerful, and often necessary tool. At J. David Tax Law, our IRS tax lien attorneys don’t just negotiate; they litigate when your property rights, due process, or statutory protections have been violated.

If the IRS rejects your request for tax lien removal, you still have several alternatives to explore that can help you manage and eventually resolve the lien:
Appeal the IRS Decision
If your lien removal request is denied, we can file an appeal on your behalf. This allows us to present additional evidence or arguments to a higher authority within the IRS, potentially leading to a reversal of the decision.
Negotiate a Payment Plan
We can establish an installment agreement with the IRS, allowing you to pay off your debt over time in manageable amounts. While paying under this plan, the IRS may agree to subordinate or even withdraw the lien, making it easier to handle your financial obligations.
Request Lien Subordination
If lien removal is not an option, we can request lien subordination, which allows other creditors to take priority over the IRS lien. This is especially useful if you need to refinance or sell your property, as it improves your chances of securing financing.
Apply for CNC Status
If paying your tax debt would cause severe financial hardship, we can help you apply for Currently Non-Collectible status. While in CNC, the IRS temporarily halts collection efforts, including actions related to the lien, giving you time to recover financially.
Submit an Offer in Compromise
Our tax attorneys can help you submit an Offer in Compromise to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount owed. If accepted, this can result in the withdrawal of the lien, especially if paying the full debt would cause financial hardship.
The time it takes to resolve a tax lien depends on the method used and the complexity of your case. Simple lien withdrawals can take 30 to 60 days once approved. Offers in Compromise or appeals may take several months, especially if additional IRS review is required. Working with a tax attorney can often speed up the process and avoid delays.
The cost of hiring a tax lien attorney can vary widely depending on the complexity of your case, the amount of tax debt involved, and whether litigation is required. Some attorneys charge flat fees for lien removal services, while others may bill hourly. On average, fees can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars.
The most effective way to remove a tax lien is by paying the full tax debt or negotiating a resolution with the IRS, such as an Offer in Compromise or an Installment Agreement. Once resolved, you can request lien withdrawal using IRS Form 12277. Each method depends on your financial situation and compliance history.
If a tax lien is placed on your assets, you have the right to appeal the lien through a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing. You can also request a lien withdrawal or subordination under certain conditions.
While it’s possible to attempt IRS lien removal on your own, hiring a tax lien lawyer significantly increases your chances of success, especially if you’re dealing with complex tax debt, a denied request, or high-value property at risk.
