Serious Tax Debt Could Put Your Passport at Risk

If you have significant tax debt, your passport may be at risk. The IRS defines seriously delinquent tax debt (SDTD) as an unpaid, legally enforceable federal tax liability exceeding $66,000 (for 2026) for which a federal tax lien has been filed and administrative remedies have been exhausted or a levy has been issued. Under a 2015 law, the IRS may notify the U.S. State Dept. and certain contractors involved in passport services when a person owes SDTD. The State Dept. can then deny, revoke or limit your passport. This makes resolving serious tax debt particularly important if you rely on your passport for air travel. Contact us for help addressing your tax debt or visit: https://bit.ly/46gpBwW
