We've noticed quite a few taxpayers receiving letters from the IRS lately, specifically a CP508. This notice is typically sent out when the IRS is certifying your tax debt, usually if you owe $50,000 or more - but in 2023, that threshold will be $59,000.
Essentially, the notice will inform you that the State Department can no longer issue or renew a passport due to your outstanding tax debt. If you have an outstanding passport, they can revoke it as well.
This is a tool that the IRS is being much more aggressive with. So if this happens to you, what you need to do is you need to get into a payment plan or submit an offer offering compromise or currently not collectible status immediately.
Doing so can help you get out of this sticky situation. Keep in mind that before you can enter into that, you need to be in compliance with the IRS, meaning you need to have your last six years of tax returns filed as well.
So if you have a trip planning out of this country and you have tax obligations, make sure that you are compliant and in some type of arrangement because otherwise your passport will be revoked.
