Your reference of "IRS Lien" is unclear. Are you saying your refunds in past years were garnished to pay an unpaid debt, such as an unpaid student loan? Please be specific so we can better provide you useful guidance on this stuff. If a lender put a lien on your tax refund, yet you paid off the debt directly to the lender, it's perfectly possible the lender did not report the payoff to the IRS. Therefore the IRS is still garnishing your refunds to pay the debt which the IRS does not know you already paid off.
