A federal tax lien is a legal claim against property. A Notice of Federal Tax Lien makes that claim public; a levy takes property. Logan Allec, CPA, explains Letter 3172, hearing rights, and four different approaches: release, discharge, subordination and withdrawal. These remedies serve different purposes and have different requirements.
