If the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has placed a tax lien on your property, once you've satisfied the debt, the IRS should notify you that the lien has been removed. To do so, the IRS should send you a “Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien,” also known as Form 668(Z).
Proper handling of the notice of lien is extremely important. Generally the IRS can pursue collection of a tax liability up to 10 years from the date it was assessed. A Notice of Federal Tax Lien may be filed any time within that 10-year period.
For a copy of the recorded certificate, you must contact the recording office where the Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien was filed. If the federal tax lien has not been released within 30 days of satisfying your tax liability, you can request a Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien.
These forms and publications are available on the Internet, on CD-ROM, through fax on demand, over the telephone, through the mail, at local IRS offices, at some banks, post offices, and libraries, and even at some grocery stores, copy centers and office supply stores.
