That's interesting.
I don't think the IRS is allowed to continue to report on unenforcable liens at least under the current statutes? Payment of a lien does not (unless you sign something like the IRS used to "require" you to do) necessarily extend the statute of limitations? I knew states were different and it varies by state, but that sucks.
Actually becaue it varies by state I sort of wonder at that one.
CA explicitly:
- Effective for 10 years or more - Once a lien is recorded, the lien continues in effect for 10 years unless extended for an additional 10 years (California Government Code Section 7172(b)).
That's right. It does vary state by state. Paid liens cannot report more than 7 years after payment under federal law so that's the max. However, for federal tax liens you can get them "withdrawn" by the IRS once you have fully paid them as long as you are up to date in your tax filings. Google "IRS Tax Lien Withdrawal" to get the process. It's free and is really the only codified pfd program out there.
