Frequently Asked Questions

A release removes the lien's legal effect but the filing remains on public record. A withdrawal completely removes the public record as if the lien was never filed. Withdrawal is better for credit recovery.

Yes, but the IRS lien must be addressed. You can request a lien discharge for the sale, which removes the lien from that specific property if the IRS receives adequate proceeds.

While tax liens no longer appear on credit reports (since 2018), they still affect your ability to get loans, as lenders check public records. Withdrawal removes this public record.
