Why Choose Molen & Associates to Remove Your Lien?
Expertise in Lien Options
Most people think paying the tax is the only way to remove a lien, but that isn’t true. We understand the nuances of Lien Withdrawals (removing it from your record), Discharges (removing it from specific property), and Subordinations (allowing you to refinance). We find the specific tool that solves your problem.
Focus on Your Financial Goals
Are you trying to sell your home or refinance a mortgage? A lien stops those transactions cold. We work specifically to clear the title hurdles that are blocking your real estate goals, negotiating directly with the IRS to allow the sale or loan to go through.
Transparent, Flat-Fee Pricing
Navigating IRS legalities shouldn’t come with an open-ended bill. We offer clear, flat-fee pricing for our lien resolution services. We work efficiently to clear your name without draining your wallet with hourly attorney fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers to common questions about our tax preparation services.
What is a Federal Tax Lien, and how does it differ from a levy?
A tax lien is the government’s legal claim against your property—including real estate, personal property, and financial assets—to ensure a tax debt is paid. While a lien “secures” the government’s interest in your assets, a levy is the actual act of taking those assets. Think of a lien as a “public notice” that the IRS has a stake in everything you own, which can prevent you from selling or refinancing property without addressing the debt first.
Will a tax lien show up on my credit report?
I want to sell my home, but there is a tax lien on it. What are my options?
Selling a home with a tax lien is complicated but not impossible. You may be able to apply for a “Discharge of Property,” which removes the lien from a specific piece of property so it can be sold. Usually, the IRS will require that the tax debt be paid out of the sale proceeds at closing. If there isn’t enough equity to pay the full debt, we can negotiate with the IRS to accept the net proceeds in exchange for releasing the lien on that specific home.
What is the difference between a "Lien Release" and a "Lien Withdrawal"?
Can I get a lien removed if I need to refinance my mortgage?
What should I do if I receive a "Notice of Federal Tax Lien"?
How long does a tax lien last?
Generally, a tax lien remains in place until the debt is paid in full or the “Statute of Limitations” for collection expires (usually 10 years after the tax was assessed). However, the IRS can “refile” a lien if the debt isn’t resolved. Our team reviews your IRS transcripts to determine exactly how much time is left on your “collection clock” and whether the lien was filed correctly according to IRS procedures.
