I became unemployed last year October and owed about $608 in NYS taxes for 2015. I managed to pay off $200 dollars over the last year but not before they filed a tax lien against me for $408 issued on 11/1. I got a notice on my score alerts and immediately called NYS Tax and Finance today. They said they would not vacate the warrant because it was not issued in error. I am stuck and will do my best to pay it off within the next two months (just got a job last month after being out a full year).
My two questions:
1. When I search the New York State Tax Warrant Notice System. I see my name and warrant # come up. Once I PIF will it come down from the warrant system or will it continue to be a part of my public record? How long does the tax lien stay a part of the public record? Any ideas on how I could remove it after the warrant is satisfied?
2. How do I get it the warrant off my CR once I PIF or am I stuck there as well? I know that I would get a "satisfied notice" but it sounds like that may not be enough to have it removed? Correct?
Any help would be appericated...going through this for the first time so I have idea what to do.
Thanks in advance!
