After you file

If the IRS filed a federal tax lien against your property they would have sent you a Notice of Federal Tax Lien Filing. You can find out if there is a federal tax lien against your property by calling the IRS Centralized Lien Operation at 800-913-6050.


A federal tax lien is not just an amount that you owe. It's a legal claim against your property that the IRS files if they have billed you for tax that you owe and you did not pay by the deadline that the IRS set. You would have to have ignored several IRS notices before they would impose a lien.
