If the IRS has placed a lien on your property, it can feel like your financial future is on hold. Polaris Tax & Accounting helps North Carolina residents from Asheville to Charlotte resolve tax debt and remove IRS tax liens before they do permanent damage.


What Is an IRS Tax Lien?

A federal tax lien is a legal claim by the government against your property when you owe unpaid taxes. This lien can attach to:

  • Homes and land
  • Business property and equipment
  • Personal vehicles and future assets

Liens are public records that can wreck your credit and interfere with real estate transactions or business loans.


How IRS Liens Work in North Carolina

In North Carolina, IRS liens are filed in the county register of deeds and become a public obstacle to selling or refinancing property. They also:

  • Impact your ability to secure financing
  • Complicate business expansion or asset transfers
  • Remain until the tax debt is paid or negotiated away

Options to Remove or Avoid IRS Liens

  1. Pay in Full – Eliminates the lien and clears your record.
  2. Lien Withdrawal – Erases the public record if criteria are met.
  3. Lien Discharge – Removes the lien from a specific property.
  4. Lien Subordination – Allows other creditors to take priority.
  5. Fresh Start Program – Makes it easier to qualify for a withdrawal.
