What is IRS Form 668-Z?

When a lien is satisfied or otherwise discharged, the taxpayer receives Form 668Z, Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien. The IRS will utilize Form 668-Z to notify you of a partial discharge of a lien that has been filed. This is a demanding task that necessitates the submission of Form 13794. 

Although there is no provision under the IRS for the granting of a partial release, the following conditions may necessitate the issuing of a partial release of the NFTL. When one individual designated on an NFTL as a co-obligor for a tax liability is released or satisfied, a certificate of release must be sent to that taxpayer. A partial release must be provided if there is a balance on the responsibility for which the other co-obligor is still accountable.

A partial release is typically provided when:

  • There is a discharge in bankruptcy, and only one of the joint liable parties petitioned the court;
  • One individual proposes a joint liability offer-in-compromise, and the provided sum is accepted; or
  • There is a determination of an innocent spouse.

What do you have to do?

Firstly. if you get a letter or notification, you must make a decision. Do you think you’ll be able to manage this problem on your own? If it’s an easy problem and you already know the solution, call or write to them. If the situation is more difficult, you should consult with a Certified Tax Resolution Specialist. The IRS or the state will take full advantage of your ignorance and lack of expertise.

After you’ve completed the first step, you should assess if the notice was delivered in mistake. Do you owe money to the government? Do you have any outstanding or unfinished tax returns?

If you are unsure how to handle the issue(s), if you have an unfiled return or unpaid amounts, or if you simply lack confidence, work with our team of Certified Tax Resolution Specialists to resolve your issue as soon as possible. Best of all, you won’t have to deal with the IRS or the state; we’ll represent you.

If you owe money or have unfiled tax returns, you should consult with a Certified Tax Resolution Specialist.

Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien (Form 668 (Z))

Section 6325(a) of the Internal Revenue Code allows us to negotiate the release of a Federal Tax Lien once a liability has been entirely paid or has become legally unenforceable. We may get this Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien that you can present to any credit bureaus, County Recorders, or lenders that still have this lien on book as being tied to you once a balance on account has effectively run its 10-Year Collection Statute.
