Having “seriously delinquent tax debt” could put your passport at risk (unless an exception applies). This generally means that the assessed tax debt is at least $55,000 in 2022, a lien has been filed and other remedies have been exhausted. If such conditions exist, the U.S. State Dept. can deny, revoke or limit a passport. One man, who owed about $250,000 in federal tax, interest and penalties, argued in a U.S. District Court that revoking his passport violated his constitutional right to travel abroad. That court and a U.S. Appeals Court upheld the revocation, finding that the action supported the legitimate interest of the government. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case.
