Did you know that the IRS can revoke your passport if you owe the Internal Revenue Service $62,000 or more? That’s right; the IRS can revoke the passports of any taxpayer owing $62,000 or more, including penalties and interest.
Notably, if you’re currently paying off the debt or are contesting a tax bill in court, you should not be affected. However, anyone under an IRS tax lien could find their ability to travel hampered.
