Dear Associates:
Please be advised that effective November 5, 1990, the Statute of Limitations for a Federal Tax Lien is changed from six (6) years to ten (10) years. This new limitations period will apply to taxes assessed after the date of the enactment of the act and taxes assessed on or before the effective date if the six (6) year limitation period had not expired as of November 5, 1990. Presently, it is the Internal Revenue Service's position that they shall re-file all current notices of Federal Tax Liens as a matter of Public Record in order to continue the effect of the filed notice. Each notice of lien should be re-filed by the date as shown on the face of such notice. If any notice is not re-filed by that date, the notice is considered released. It is the Internal Revenue Service's position, presently, that should they desire to re-establish the notice of lien they would have to revoke the release and file a new Notice of Lien in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 6325(f)(2).
