Irs Will Expedite Process To Allow Owner To Sell, Refinance Home Subject To Federal Tax Lien

摘要

The Internal Revenue Service has announced an expedited process to make it easier for troubled homeowners to avoid having the sale or refinancing of their home blocked by a federal tax lien. Options for homeowners were outlined in Information Release 2008-141, issued on December 16. "We don't want the IRS to be a barrier to people saving or selling their homes," said IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman. "We want to raise awareness of these lien options and to speed our decision-making process so people can refinance their mortgages or sell their homes."
