Most taxpayers do not think that unpaid tax debt can lead to either revocation or cancellation of their Passport. The IRS has authority to certify, any seriously delinquent tax debt, to the State Department which in turn can either cancel or revoke an individual taxpayer's passport. Seriously delinquent tax debt is an individual's unpaid, legally enforceable federal tax debt (including interest and penalties) for which a:


  • Notice of federal tax lien has been filed and all administrative remedies under the law have lapsed or have been exhausted, or

  • Levy has been issued.


The IRS will send Notice CP508C notifying the taxpayer that 1) taxpayer is in serious tax delinquency and 2) the tax debt has been certified. Upon receiving tax debt certification, the State Department may cancel or revoke the taxpayer's passport. There are multiple ways to handle Notice CP508C including filing a suit before the United States Tax Court or the United States District Court.
