The lien is released with respect to [Taxpayer B] and all other tax liabilities shown on the Certificate of Release. Manually prepared revocations can be mailed to the recording office following standard procedures. Once a Notice of Federal Tax Lien is filed, the lien can only be released when the liability is satisfied, the liability is no longer enforceable, or a bond has been accepted for the payment of the liability. In certain situations it may be appropriate for the IRS to withdraw the Notice of Federal Tax Lien while the taxpayer still owes the liability.

Advisory and Insolvency managers have general approval authority for a withdrawal of an NFTL, but other positions also have limited authority to approve withdrawals as described in IRM 1. Most withdrawal requests are processed through Advisory. Insolvency primarily works withdrawals involving active bankruptcy cases. Both offices send approved withdrawal requests to CLO for processing actions or input the requests directly to ALS, if permissions allows.

If no recording information is found, follow the steps below. Input a history in ALS of the withdrawal request. Withdrawals input to ALS go to the manager's approval queue. The team manager daily approves the withdrawals in the queue. When it is appropriate, the office authorizing the withdrawal is responsible for reversing the TC Form , Withdrawal of Filed Notice of Federal Tax Lien, is printed and mailed for recording with other lien documents.

The taxpayer's copy of Form is printed and mailed to the taxpayer from CPS. If the requesting office asks for a copy of the Form , make a copy of the document when printed or, after the withdrawal is approved on ALS, generate a copy using PRNT If the recording office has electronic filing ELF , print the facsimile after creating the withdrawal.

Scan the copy of the withdrawal document and send it to the requester by secure email. On occasion, the withdrawal document may be manually prepared in the field and issued directly to the taxpayer for recordation.

Follow usual input procedures except as noted below. Also, but in unusual circumstances, there may be situations where the NFTL lists multiple tax periods but it is appropriate to withdraw the NFTL only as it relates to certain tax periods. In these situations a partial withdrawal may be issued. Those authorized under Delegation Order to approve withdrawals can also approve partial withdrawals.

Generally, the approved partial withdrawal requests come from Advisory or Insolvency to CLO for processing actions. Follow the instructions in IRM 5. Input a history in ALS about the partial withdrawal request.

In the event a request for a withdrawal is received from a taxpayer for an NFTL and the lien has not been released, check IDRS to determine the status of the account. Refer the request following the table below. Prepare a Correspondex Letter C, Case Processing Liens, for the taxpayer to explain that the request has been referred.

Refer to IRM 2. If the request is received from an IRS employee not authorized to approve withdrawals, reject the request back to the requester and explain that the request must go through Advisory or Insolvency.

Taxpayers may request a withdrawal of the NFTL after the lien has been released. Research IDRS to determine how the liability was satisfied and whether the taxpayer is in filing compliance.

If the conditions for withdrawal are met, input the withdrawal to ALS following standard input procedures. If the conditions for withdrawal are not met, prepare and issue Letter , Withdrawal Decision, to deny the request. Determinations to withdraw the NFTL or deny the request must be approved by the team manager prior to generation of documents.

If the request cannot be reviewed in that time frame, send an interim letter to the requestor advising of the status. They are certificates created when a third party contacts the IRS for documentation that explains the NFTL does not affect their property. Most often this occurs when the third party and the taxpayer have a similar name. These certificates are generally prepared and submitted by Advisory. Lien documents, including NFTLs, releases, withdrawals and revocations, are routinely printed on Tuesdays and Thursdays only.

There are times when the documents are printed outside of this parameter e. In these instances management provides guidance for alternative processing.

NFTLs printed on days other than Tuesdays and Thursdays can cause a delay in the issuance of the CDP notice, resulting in the five 5 day time frame not being met.

Printing and mailing of the lien documents starts the day after the "Y" and "Z" listings are completed and the billing support voucher is reviewed for additions and subtractions. All printing and mailing must be completed within three 3 business days. All documents should be printed on Tuesday or Thursday. This would also be the day all ELF liens are approved. The managerial approval must be done on Tuesday and Thursday to ensure CDP notices are timely printed and mailed.

The printed documents are packaged and mailed the following day Wednesday and Friday. Ensure that all recording offices within the same voucher are mailed at the same time. This has impact to the date input to the voucher program. ALS uploads information about the lien documents to Master File. The TCs , , , and AC postings are directly related to the document creation and printing process. There are two print spools found on ALS. OLD" is the back-up spool or queue and contains lien documents and reports that have already been printed.

Review of the active spool queue should be completed after each printing to ensure all documents are printed that correspond to the range of dates being worked. Once documents are printed, they move from the spool to the spool. Documents are retrievable from spool. A Billing Support Voucher BSV or "voucher" is a document generated through ALS that identifies all the lien documents being sent to a specific recording office and the amount being paid for the filing of those documents.

A BSV is used as an accounting tool and also to document when lien documents are filed. ALS assigns each new BSV a unique number consisting of a voucher number, account number and payment type identifier.

The voucher number, which is generated sequentially and used for all vouchers within the state unless one specific recording office BSV is being built. The payment type identifier, which will usually be "E" indicating the recording office is paid by electronic funds transfer from the Integrated Financial System IFS.

Other identifiers less commonly used are "I" for recording offices that receive a paper check and "B" those operating on a billing process. In the BSV number E, the represents the recording office id, 10 represents the voucher number, and the E shows the payment is made through IFS.

Due to special circumstances, there are a few recording offices that still receive payment by paper check instead of by electronic fund transfer EFT. These checks are processed outside of CLO.

The voucher that is stored in ALS should reflect the voucher as it was prepared for the recording office, less any manual additions or corrections made. Periodically, due to fee changes or rejections, adjustments to the BSV are needed to correct payment to the recording office.

These adjustments will be completed by the team manager or lead TE using ALS voucher program before the documents for recording are printed. After transmitting the BSV and documents, CLO may be notified by the recording office that an overpayment or underpayment of fees has occurred.

This notification may result in the rejection of the lien documents by the recording office. CLO should attempt to resolve the discrepancy e. To verify timeliness of release to the taxpayer, CLO will maintain the paper date-stamped BSV in a manner similar to the maintenance of the postal stamped Form and Registered Listings. Documents are missing from the print queue when the "on voucher" or "store only" option was selected when the request was input in ALS.

Do not print an NFTL before the designated print time. An NFTL that is being hand-carried for filing should be manually prepared by the requester using an available template. The Z listing shows documents e. The largest of the CRON reports are as follows:.

Use the information on the listing to research documents that need clarification or correction and determine appropriate action. Listings generated on Monday must be resolved before printing the documents on Tuesday; the listings generated on Wednesday must be resolved before printing the documents on Thursday. Take appropriate corrective actions, as needed.

In the "HOW" column, the Z listing indicates a reason the lien document was identified for research. The primary reasons are "No Recd" , which means there is no recording data on ALS for the original NFTL, and "Missing" , which indicates the lien document was prepared but is not in the print file.

When the reason shown is "No Recd" , research for recording data using the best method of research for the recording office, including, as necessary and appropriate, contacting the recording office. Based on the research, take action as described in the following table.

If unable to determine whether the lien document was hand carried, take corrective action so the document can be printed and filed. Notate the paper listing with the actions taken and your name or ID Number.

Also, input an ALS history indicating that the Z listing was worked and actions taken. BSVs and related documents should not be printed outside of the normal processing on Tuesday and Thursday. Prior to printing, review the BSV to identify the following situations and to take necessary corrective action.

Lien documents that were manually prepared may need added to the BSV. While any lien document can be manually prepared, manual preparation generally should be reserved for those documents that cannot be generated through ALS or require expedited processing. Manually prepared lien documents that are hand-carried by an RO to the recording office should not be included on the BSV. The RO is normally responsible for paying the associated recording fees. Inform your manager when complete resolution of the listings cannot be reached or when a release has been removed from the BSV.

Ensure that you refer to the range of dates listed on the BSV and print all documents for each day. Editing can be done to change a standard fee or to add or delete a particular document from the voucher. This history becomes part of the voucher history. Review and editing of the voucher to correct fees and add or delete documents must be done before documents are printed.

If you input the Spec Doc SLID, this will cause the system to jam during the printing process and will delay lien processing. If there are two partial releases on the same NFTL, only the last partial release will be produced. When this occurs, manually add the second partial release to the voucher without the input of the SLID number. Input a history to ALS voucher identifying the recording office and reason for adding.

Lien documents are batched by ALS for printing. Document batches are ready for printing after all the following have occurred:. After all documents have been printed, reviewed, and any corrective actions taken, associate the appropriate voucher and prepare for shipment to the recording office. Once packages are complete, ensure all recording offices with the same voucher number are together.

Ensure the address of the recording office is visible and correct. Carry the package to the clerical team, which will take the packages to Receipt and Control for mailing. Date stamp the copy of the BSV and file in a designated area by county.

This is usually done by the CLO clerical team. Once the documents are mailed to the recorder, a date must be input to the ALS voucher program to indicate the mail out date. Also, a payment certification must be entered to generate the payment file for processing by Accounts Payable Financial Operations at the Beckley Finance Center.

When entering the date stamp, ALS prompts the user for payment certification. This must also be entered into ALS before A. Due to time constraints, day shift teams input the date stamp and pay certification for the swing shift team. The team manager or lead TE reviews the date stamp report to ensure all vouchers were date stamped timely and accurately. The manager signs and dates the report, which is stored by the team.

For electronic filing recording offices, the file transmission date is the date used for the date stamp. Unless unusual circumstances exist, all documents with the same voucher number within the state should be mailed the same day. Due to some recording offices requiring payment before the documents are recorded, the mailing package may be held by CLO so the payment reaches the recording office first.

Recording offices return certain lien documents after they have been recorded. Sometimes, and for a variety of reasons, they return documents without recording them.

These are also known as rejects. Processing the returned documents depends on whether they were recorded prior to their return. This distinction becomes crucial when a recording office has not processed the lien documents and there is a dispute regarding lien priority or compliance with filing requirements.

Generally speaking:. The IRS files lien documents by delivering them to the recording office. Delivery may be done by mail, in person, or electronically. The recording office records the lien documents when they are entered into the public record.

The IRS does not request the return of other lien documents e. Recording data for these other documents is not input to ALS. ALS does allow for the recording date for revocations of release following a different process.

The recording date for any revocations returned from the recording office should be input to ALS. The priority of the federal tax lien is often based on the filing date of the NFTL.

It is crucial that recording data is input accurately and timely. Also, incorrect data can impact the future release of the lien. When recorded documents are received back from the recording office review them to ensure all documents in the batch have recording information. Also, check the batch for the following:. Duplicate NFTL filings, e. If a refund check is included, follow discovered remittance procedures in IRM 5.

These types of documents are not loaded or controlled on ALS. If document is for estate tax or a release, send the document to the FORT. Recording information must be input into ALS within ten 10 business days after receipt of the lien document from the recording office.

The court recording data CRD on returned documents will vary in the data provided and the way it is provided. Most often the CRD is on the lien document, but some recording offices may list the CRD on the voucher or a separate spreadsheet. If the data returned is not understandable, use available research tools to resolve including, if needed, contacting the recording office. Some recording offices only use recording numbers, some use book and page numbers, some use serial or UCC numbers, and some use a combination of the above.

The clock time when the document was filed is not used by ALS and inputting it is not necessary. This is referred to as the "Court Recording Window Flow. If a change to the required fields is identified, forward the information to the ALS Coordinator through your manager or lead TE. Provide the name of the recording office and what fields the recording office uses. Prior to requesting an additional combination, be sure to verify the field is required information by the recording office.

Input the CRD for each lien document. Verify the data is input to the correct SLID and is entered correctly. Incorrect data can cause future documents, such as a release of lien, to be rejected by the recording office. If there is not sufficient space in ALS to enter the full recording number supplied by the recording office, drop the first two 2 digits of the year and use the rest of the data e. If not previously done, also take the actions below.

Contact the recording office to ensure this will not cause future, related documents to be rejected. If no resolution is met, refer to FORT. When inputting recording information and it is discovered that the lien document already has recording information, verify the SLID and the recording office on the document are the same as on ALS.

Conduct additional research as needed to determine if this is a duplicate filing. If it is a duplicate, see IRM 5. Once all of the data is input to ALS, verify that all lien documents were recorded by reviewing the associated voucher on the ALS voucher program.

Verify that all documents on the BSV have been recorded by checking the recorded document indicator on the first page of the voucher. If the voucher program does not show all lien documents as recorded, take the additional steps as needed. When a discrepancy is discovered or not all lien documents were returned, contact the recording office to determine why the recording information was not returned.

Input a history of your findings on the voucher program. When inputting a history to the voucher program, identify the recording office impacted by the history. The voucher number is for all recording offices within the state. Use OFP for time spent inputting recording information and OFP for sorting and reviewing incoming documents.

Recording offices might return or reject documents that are unrecorded for various reasons including, but not limited to, the following:. Incorrect fees paid, e. Lien documents might be rejected in whole batches or individually, based on the recording office and the reason for the rejection. The ALS voucher program will be used for tracking of rejected lien batches and individual documents that are rejected.

When document s are returned as unrecorded, research the situation and take corrective action as needed. These actions may include, but are not limited to, the following:. Processing an overpayment following IRM 5. Input a history on the voucher on ALS for the rejected documents.

The history should include the recording office ID number, state the voucher was rejected, and specify the reason for the rejection. If specific documents from a batch were rejected, the history should also include the SLIDs. Return the corrected document s to the recording office.

If rejected due to an IRS error, send apology letter with returned documents. See Exhibit 5. Whenever possible, use the same voucher to re-send the documents to the recording office. A written history must be placed on the file copy of the voucher. It must include name, actions taken, and date closed along with a new date stamp showing the date it was mailed. If using the same voucher is not possible, use a different voucher.

If only specific documents were returned unrecorded, add the corrected documents to the next voucher that will be going to the recording office.

Rejected lien documents should be tracked from the time of receipt until resolution is made. All actions taken should be notated on a reject log spreadsheet. The manager or lead TE should check and initial the spreadsheet, thus verifying all information is correct and all inclusive. If the reject cannot be resolved at team level, the case should be referred to FORT for resolution. If the documents returned with the rejected voucher have been recorded, these documents are not rejected and should not be counted as such.

Resolution should be completed within five 5 business days after receipt in CLO, this corresponds with the number of days to process lien document batches. Copies of the rejected vouchers and supporting documentation are retained for periodic review and analysis. Most recording offices charge a fee for recording documents. The amount charged varies by recording office and by the type of document being recorded.

Periodically recording offices change their fee schedule. When notification is received from a recording office on fee changes, immediately forward the information to the manager or lead TE of the team responsible for filing with the recording office. If the notification is received through a phone call, complete a Team to Team referral and an ALS Coordinator form and forward to the appropriate team.

It is important that fee schedules are kept up-to-date and that vouchers properly reflect the documents being filed so that the amount paid to the recording office in association with the filings is accurate. At times, normally because of rejected documents, the amount paid may exceed the amount due.

Often this overpayment is resolved with adjustments in future vouchers, but occasionally a recording office will refund the overpaid amount to CLO. Generally a recording office refunds overpayment in the form of a check; however, it might return cash. Use part of the cash returned for the money order fee. Complete a Form indicating the proper fiscal year commitment funding code and, if known, the BSV number associated with the overpayment.

Include a copy of the money order receipt, if applicable. In the notation include the following information:. If it is the first time an NFTL has been filed for the tax period, the notice provides the taxpayer with information regarding their right to a hearing and the amount of the assessed balance.

The notice also provides the taxpayer with information on how to obtain a certificate of release and contact information for questions. The following documents are sent with the Letter For purposes of this calculation, the NFTL is considered filed on the date it should be received by the recording office. The Service calculates an estimated filing date by adding three 3 business days to the NFTL mailing date.

The taxpayer's response due date on the letter is determined by adding five 5 business days plus 30 calendar days to the estimated filing date.

The CDP notice must be mailed by April 15, i. April 3 plus three 3 business days plus five 5 business days. The taxpayer's response due date is May 15, i. These notices are printed and assembled with the appropriate publications and mailed by certified or registered mail to the taxpayers and co-obligors. The generation, printing, and mailing of the notices follows an established schedule to adhere to the five-day requirement for notification as stipulated in IRC Certified and registered mail listings are generated to show all the notices that were mailed on a specific date.

ALS produces U. Postal Form along with the taxpayer notice in a file sent to the CPS. The Form lists the certified mail number and the name and address of the receiving taxpayer. CDP notices mailed to foreign country addresses are mailed registered.

Copies of the weekly certified and monthly registered listings can be found on Control D. These copies are used to monitor for receipt of the USPS date-stamped listings. If the date-stamped listing is not received within 14 calendar days from the date of the listings, contact the print site to secure the date-stamped copy.

When the date-stamped listing is received, verify that each page is date-stamped with a legible USPS date stamp and no pages are missing. Contact the print site to secure missing or illegible pages. After verification that all pages are received, scan the listings to appropriate storage media e. Use separate media for certified and registered listings. If scanning is being completed by another area, in addition to the above, verify that all paper listings and media have been returned to CLO and all pages have been scanned.

Follow local procedures for pulling a copy of the Form and forwarding it to the requester. Some other notices require manual preparation and issuance by the requester. The table below describes the different notices and how they are generally issued.

The above non-CDP notices are sent by regular mail. These notices are NOT sent by certified mail. CLO receives inquiries and requests from a variety of internal customers e. CLO must provide customers complete and accurate responses.

It is important that all employees are familiar with the major duties and responsibilities in providing quality service to customers. See the following sections for general guidance on customer contacts:. Recording offices are also considered internal contacts for CLO relative to the methods of communication available to exchange information for the effective processing of lien documents.

Specific taxpayer account information should not be disclosed to recording offices without proper authorization. When faxing confidential information, follow fax procedures contained in IRM The ability of CLO to stop a lien document before filing depends on whether the document has been printed and sent to the recording office. Once successfully pulled, take the actions shown below. Ensure the employee processing the documents is aware of the request to remove the NFTL from the voucher.

In situations where a request is received to stop the filing of other lien documents, most commonly a release or withdrawal, similar processes as described above apply.

Instead of deleting the lien document from ALS though, the action generating the lien document must be reversed. A user with the appropriate permissions, usually a manager, can reverse a release or withdrawal on ALS.

If the release, withdrawal, or other document has been sent to the recording office, CLO can attempt to contact the recording office to see if they could reject the document before recordation, but generally the document cannot be stopped.

To expedite securing a payoff letter or release of lien, taxpayers may go to a Taxpayer Assistance Center TAC to request assistance. See IRM The following information should be included in the email:. If the payoff request is sent to the Walk-in Mailbox in error, forward the email to the correct team with a copy to the requester. The field assistor will advise the taxpayer the request has been submitted and when they can expect a response. The taxpayer will be supplied the toll-free number to CLO.

Reply to all persons on the requesting email when there are questions needing clarification or acknowledging receipt of the request. Also, reply to all with the estimated time-frame for sending the payoff to the taxpayer. In the event the taxpayer has an urgent need, the TAC manager should contact the CLO manager to determine the time frame for completion of the request. A taxpayer visiting a TAC office might request an immediate lien release to hand carry to the recording office.

In these situations, the TAC assistor will conduct initial research to determine the status of the taxpayer's account and will contact CLO, as needed. If the taxpayer is fully paying the liability by cash, certified funds, or other secured payment type described in IRM 5.

The request will include:. How the periods are being satisfied cash, certified funds, satisfied previously on IDRS , the amount of the payment, and a statement that the account is or will be in status As needed, ask for any additional information or clarifications by secure email. This should include any alerts to system down issues. It is the responsibility of TAC to ensure the accuracy of all requests for an immediate release of a lien.

If there is no recording data, use available research methods to locate the recording information. Inform the TAC employee of the delay. Input the release on ALS following standard processing procedures, with the exceptions noted below. Indicate the release has already been recorded so the release does not go onto the voucher for the next printing cycle.

If the lien has self-released, advise the TAC employee of the situation. If the taxpayer still wants a certificate of release, prepare one following the instructions in IRM 5. Print the release, scan it, and send it to the requester by secured email. Update ALS with a history about the immediate release, specifying the requesting field assistor's name and post of duty.

Notify the team responsible for processing lien documents where the release will be hand carried so the release can be removed from the voucher and print batch.

The process from receipt of the TAC email to the return of the release should be completed within one 1 hour. If it will take longer than one hour, contact the TAC employee immediately.

Per IRM Requests from Hawaii and Alaska are based on Pacific time. Upon receipt of the release, the TAC assistor will date stamp the certificate and provide it to the taxpayer. The taxpayer will be advised that when they hand carry the release to the recording office, they may be charged a fee to file the release. If the payment is made by personal check or non-certified funds, the field assistor will process the payment and update IDRS with the taxpayer's most recent address, if needed.

TAC will inform the taxpayer that the lien will be released within 30 days and a copy of the certificate of release will be mailed to their address. Three 3 business days of receipt of a non-expedited case Case Criteria , Systemic Hardship. Upon receipt, the team manager takes the following actions.

If the tax examiner working the OAR determines additional research or documentation is required on an OAR, the tax examiner contacts the assigned TAS employee within one 1 workday of the determination, or within one 1 business day of the receipt of the OAR on expedited cases. If the assigned TAS employee cannot provide the additional information within three 3 business days of the request, the tax examiner may return the OAR to TAS and the case will be closed out of inventory.

If the case cannot be completed by the requested completion date, the tax examiner must contact the TAS liaison to renegotiate a completion date. If resolution of the case cannot be completed by the negotiated completion date or there is disagreement about the negotiated completion date, the tax examiner should elevate the disagreement to the team manager.

If requested case actions cannot be completed, return the case to the TAS liaison with an explanation of why case cannot be resolved. CLO might be contacted by recording offices via the internal toll-free line or other means regarding payment or recording issues.

As much as possible, the assigned state team should attempt to provide "one-stop service" to facilitate the filing process. If the problem can be resolved independently, take the appropriate actions. Such issues may include, but are not limited to, verification of a walk-in release, fee adjustment, and missing or incorrect recording data.

If you cannot resolve the problem, place the caller on hold and contact the manager or lead TE of the team assigned the recording office's state. Otherwise, document information about the call and hand carry to the appropriate manager or lead TE.

When notified of a recording issue by means other than by telephone, attempt to resolve the issue by conducting research and, if necessary, contacting the recording office. In situations where the recording office raises a question about a payment, explain the payment process, including TOP offset. As needed, provide one of the following resources as a contact point for further information:. They will research the issue and contact the recording office, if necessary.

For all other communications from the recording offices, determine the appropriate action to take. Before a vendor i. A TOP offset occurs when another department within the same government jurisdiction as the recording office owes a federal debt. The payment designated for the lien document fees is offset to apply toward the debt of the other department. The TOP offset is usually discovered by the recording office when they receive a diminished amount for the recording of the lien documents.

When a call from a recording office about a TOP offset is received, attempt to resolve the issue by explaining the offset program. If unable to resolve the issue, immediately refer the matter to the FORT. If the FORT is unable to resolve the issue by providing additional information to the recording office, research is conducted for the specific state law that covers the filing responsibility of the particular recording office.

The FORT prepares a letter to address the situation and demand that the lien documents be filed. As needed, Counsel may be consulted to assist with the research and the wording of the letter.

If the BSV and documents were rejected by the recording office, return them with the letter serving as a transmittal. If the recording office refuses to file the lien documents after receiving the letter from the Operations Manager, refer the issue back to the FORT.

CLO is regularly contacted by taxpayers, taxpayer representatives, and other third parties including banks, title companies, and prospective purchasers. These are considered external contacts. These contacts can be by mail, fax, or on the Aspect toll free line. Disclosure rules must be followed on each and every contact. Below are only some of the disclosure rules. Before disclosing any tax information, verify that you are speaking to the taxpayer or their authorized representative.

See guidelines in IRM Exercise caution when leaving information on answering machines or voice mail. Observe requirements before faxing confidential information to taxpayers. Do not send an email with taxpayer information outside the IRS, even if authorized by the taxpayer. There are crack groups who work together in order to crack software, games, etc.
