FREE Webinar: Cleared for Takeoff: Resolving Passport Certifications
Tax debt doesn’t just trigger IRS collection action—it can also ground international travel. The IRS frequently certifies certain seriously delinquent tax debts to the Department of State, leading to passport denial, non-renewal, or even revocation.
This program will explain what qualifies as “seriously delinquent tax debt,” highlight statutory and discretionary exclusions from certification, and review the mechanics of IRS and Department of State procedures. Attendees will learn practical strategies for resolving certifications and submitting expedited requests for taxpayers with urgent travel needs.
