Services
The IRS can revoke, deny renewal, or restrict your passport if you owe more than $62,000 in seriously delinquent tax debt (as of 2025). Our experienced tax attorneys can help lift these restrictions, negotiate with the IRS, and restore your passport quickly.
What Are IRS Passport Restrictions?
Under the FAST Act (2015), the IRS can notify the State Department to take action on your passport when you have a “seriously delinquent tax debt.” Actions include:
- Revocation of an existing passport
- Denial of a new passport or renewal
- Limitation to emergency travel only (with a limited-validity passport)
When Does the IRS Restrict Your Passport?
The IRS will act if:
- You owe more than $62,000 (adjusted annually for inflation) in unpaid federal tax debt
- The debt is “seriously delinquent” (assessed, not under appeal, and you have ignored notices)
- The IRS has issued a Notice of Intent to Levy and you have not responded
The State Department notifies you when restrictions are applied, and you may be unable to travel internationally.
