The IRS estimates that about 235,000 taxpayers will be affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s seriously delinquent tax debt?<\/strong> U.S. passport holders who owe more than $51,000 in back taxes and aren\u2019t in good standing with the IRS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What does \u201cgood standing\u201d mean?<\/strong> Not being in good standing means you haven\u2019t made any arrangements to pay the IRS (like payment plans or other options).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What does it mean to be certified?<\/strong> Basically, once you\u2019re certified as having seriously delinquent tax debt, the U.S. State Department can start restricting your passport until you pay or make arrangements to pay with the IRS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-will-happen-if-you-fall-under-this-program\">What will happen if you fall under this program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-expect-a-letter-from-the-irs\">1. Expect a letter from the IRS.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The IRS says it started sending <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/tax-center\/irs\/audits-and-tax-notices\/irs-notice-cp508c-notice-certification-seriously-delinquent-federal-tax-debt-state-department\/\">IRS Letter CP508C<\/a> in January 2018. This letter will put you on notice that you need to take immediate action to resolve your back taxes with the IRS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In January 2018, the IRS said that you will have 90 days after the certification notice before the State Department can restrict your passport. But the IRS warns that if you have upcoming international travel plans, you need to act quickly to get your situation resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The faster you act, the more time the IRS has to notify the State Department before it can restrict your passport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-you-ll-need-to-pay-all-your-back-taxes-or-make-arrangements-to-pay\">2. You\u2019ll need to pay all your back taxes or make arrangements to pay.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are your options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Set up a monthly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/tax-center\/irs\/audits-and-tax-notices\/which-irs-payment-plan-is-best\/\">IRS payment plan<\/a> (called an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/tax-center\/irs\/audits-and-tax-notices\/tax-dictionary-installment-agreement\/\">installment agreement<\/a>) on your back taxes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>File a valid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/tax-center\/irs\/audits-and-tax-notices\/tax-dictionary-offer-compromise\/\">offer in compromise<\/a> to settle back taxes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you\u2019re in a financial hardship situation, establish a deferred payment agreement with the IRS (called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/tax-center\/irs\/audits-and-tax-notices\/tax-dictionary-currently-not-collectible\/\">currently not collectible status<\/a>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Request <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/tax-center\/irs\/audits-and-tax-notices\/tax-dictionary-innocent-spouse\/\">innocent spouse relief<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Paying your balance to under $51,000 won\u2019t get you out of trouble. You\u2019ll need to make arrangements to pay all your back taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, the list above isn\u2019t all-inclusive. The IRS can always add more categories of people who aren\u2019t subject to passport restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-you-ll-have-to-wait-until-the-irs-decertifies-your-tax-debt-status-before-you-can-travel\">3. You\u2019ll have to wait until the IRS \u201cdecertifies\u201d your tax debt status before you can travel.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The law says the IRS should decertify you within 30 days after you\u2019re back in good standing. But, two issues may cause delays for some people:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Delay 1: You also have back tax returns to file.<\/strong> If you want to set up a payment plan or other agreement with the IRS, you\u2019ll have to be \u201cfiling compliant.\u201d That means you\u2019ve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/tax-center\/irs\/audits-and-tax-notices\/unfiled-tax-return\/\">filed all your required returns<\/a>, typically for at least the past six years. For people with back tax returns and back taxes, fixing this situation could take months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Delay 2: You need an alternative payment arrangement. IRS payment agreements that aren\u2019t \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/tax-center\/irs\/audits-and-tax-notices\/tax-dictionary-streamlined-installment-agreement\/\">streamlined<\/a>\u201d can take some legwork, especially if you:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Owe more than $100,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Need to work out payment terms with the IRS based on your finances<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need payment terms with the IRS, you\u2019ll have to disclose the details of your financial situation (usually with IRS Forms 433). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/tax-center\/irs\/audits-and-tax-notices\/which-irs-payment-plan-is-best\/\">Learn about payment arrangements.<\/a> This kind of arrangement can take months for the IRS to approve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taxpayers who find themselves with passport restrictions and need to travel won\u2019t have a fast track to remove these restrictions. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to act as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-passport-restrictions-are-here-to-stay\">Passport restrictions are here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Passport restrictions are law, and the IRS has now put procedures in place to continuously enforce the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that if you find yourself with seriously delinquent tax debt in the future, you can expect the IRS to start the process with the State Department to restrict your passport. This new IRS enforcement tool to collect back taxes is here unless Congress changes the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-time-to-get-in-good-standing\">Time to get in good standing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>People who receive IRS Letter CP508C, or anyone who owes the IRS, should get into good standing with the IRS as soon as possible. The faster you act, the faster your issue is resolved at the IRS \u2014 and the less you\u2019ll owe in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/tax-center\/irs\/audits-and-tax-notices\/irs-penalties\/\">penalties<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/tax-center\/irs\/audits-and-tax-notices\/three-ways-remove-irs-interest-tax-bill\/\">interest<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-take-these-five-steps\">Take these five steps:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start by filing all your returns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure the taxes you owe are correct. This may mean contesting tax assessments that the IRS made in an audit, or addressing penalties the IRS says you owe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get into a payment agreement or other collection alternative with the IRS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm that you aren\u2019t a certified seriously delinquent tax debtor, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enjoy your travel.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>An experienced tax professional can help you get into filing and payment compliance with the IRS. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/tax-offices\/extended-tax-services\/tax-audit\/audit-support.html\">Learn about H&amp;R Block\u2019s Tax Audit &amp; Notice Services.<\/a> Or make an appointment for a free consultation with a local tax professional by calling <strong>855-536-6504<\/strong> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/tax-offices\/local-offices\/#!\/en\/office-locator\/\">finding a local tax pro<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This boils down to basic math: Lots of unresolved back taxes + international travel plans = no more passport.
