The IRS Is Revoking My Passport
If you owe more than $62,000 in seriously delinquent tax debt, the IRS can certify your debt to the State Department for passport revocation.
The Problem
Under IRC section 7345, the IRS can certify seriously delinquent tax debt (currently over $62,000 including penalties and interest) to the State Department. The State Department can then deny, revoke, or limit your passport. If you need to travel internationally for work or personal reasons, this is a crisis.
The Solution
Several exceptions prevent certification: you have an installment agreement, you've submitted an OIC, you're in CNC status, you've requested a CDP hearing, or the collection is suspended due to an innocent spouse claim. Entering any qualifying resolution status reverses the certification and restores your passport eligibility.
