IRS to Change Procedures for Release and Withdrawal of Tax Liens - Sunday, March 17, 2013


The IRS agrees that releases and withdrawals of lien notices have not always been processed timely or properly. IRS said it would make changes to the Internal Revenue Manual to provide for improved documentation and timely disposition of withdrawals. It will also make additional changes to elaborate on the manual lien release process. But most importantly, the IRS will consider the possibility of the programming change within the Automated Lien System.


When taxpayers neglect or refuse to pay their taxes, IRS can and usually does file notices of federal tax liens with local government offices to protect the federal government's right of priority against certain third parties, such as purchasers or creditors.


A federal tax lien can be filed for multiple tax periods containing an outstanding tax liability, but it must be released once a taxpayer meets certain conditions.

Sometimes a federal tax lien is withdrawn, particularly if it is filed in error. But in other cases, such as after a taxpayer files for bankruptcy, IRS must refile a tax lien to maintain its “priority position” established by the filing of the first lien.


The IRS acknowledges that withdrawal delays can cause unnecessary burdens on taxpayers while untimely releases could violate taxpayers' rights.

While refiles of the federal tax liens are usually properly processed and within the required time period, withdrawals have significantly increased and have not always properly or timely processed.

 
IRA 60-day Rollover Requirement Waived - Friday, March 01, 2013

The IRS recently published PLR 201234031, which provides that the 60-day rollover requirement will be waived for distribution from IRA where delay as due to psychotic breakdown of taxpayer's child.

The IRS waived the 60-day rollover requirement for a taxpayer’s failure to accomplish a timely rollover due to his need to take care of his child during his child's psychotic breakdown. Section 408(d)(3)(I) provides that the IRS can waive the 60-day requirement under section 408(d)(3)(A) where the failure to waive the requirement would be against equity or good conscience, including casualty, disaster, or other events beyond the reasonable control of the individual subject to such requirement. The IRS stated that, in determining whether to grant a waiver of the 60-day rollover requirement, it will consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including, in part, inability to complete a rollover due to a dependent's disability and hospitalization.
