American passport holder, but did not pay your taxes? Prepare to have your passport revoked
The IRS has begun revoking American passports in response to unpaid taxes.
The IRS has recently announced it will begin notifying the Department of State of delinquent tax debt, leading to the revoking of passport belonging to tax owing individuals.
The IRS is currently accumulating information on non-abiding citizens and will begin relaying this information to the Department of State this year.
The Department of State will not extend or issue passports once information is received from the IRS.
IRC 7345, published last February, states that this sanction can and will be put into action in case a significantly high tax debt remains unpaid.
Tax debt of $50,000 and over, including interests and penalties, will be enforced upon citizens whose assets were foreclosed,
and/or those upon whom a confiscation order was executed.
Should the debt be settled with the IRS, the citizen shall not face the penalty of passport revocation.
Upon submittal of the claim to the Department of State, the individual will have 90 days to reach an arrangement with the IRS.
In cases of error, or a person’s inability to pay the debt, this sanction shall not be posed.
We will gladly assist with this and any additional aspect of the American tax system.
