IRS tax liens are on the rise. The agency filed more than 214,000 federal tax lien notices in fiscal year 2025, up about 9% from the prior year and 36% from 2022. This increase reflects a return to more typical collection activity after pandemic-era enforcement slowdowns. A federal tax lien is the government’s legal claim against your property, including real estate and other assets, when you don’t pay your tax debt. A tax lien can make it harder to obtain financing, such as a mortgage or a business line of credit. If you’ve received an IRS notice or have unpaid taxes, don’t wait.
