How do I check to see if I have any tax liens?

To determine if a debt is owed (other than federal tax), and whether an offset will occur, contact BFS' TOP call center at 800-304-3107 (for TTY/TDD help, call 866-297-0517).

The Department of Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service (BFS), which issues IRS tax refunds, has been authorized by Congress to conduct the Treasury Offset Program (TOP). Through this program, your refund or overpayment may be reduced by BFS and offset to pay:

  • Past-due child support;
  • Federal agency non-tax debts;
  • State income tax obligations; or
  • Certain unemployment compensation debts owed to a state. (Generally, these are debts for (1) compensation that was paid due to fraud, or (2) for contributions owing to a state fund that were not paid due to fraud).

Go to this IRS website for your tax account - https://www.irs.gov/payments/view-your-tax-account

 

See this IRS Tax Topic for refund offsets - https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc203

To check for tax liens follow @bluedeb 's answer above.

 

To see if you owe the IRS, check your IRS account here:  https://www.irs.gov/payments/view-your-tax-account

 

Note that the IRS web reference will show only your federal, not your state, tax account.
