Taxes Can Affect Your Passport

PassportSeriously delinquent tax debt (SDTD) could put your passport at risk (unless an exception applies). SDTD is a legally enforceable, unpaid federal tax assessment. In 2024, this debt must exceed $62,000, with a lien filed and other remedies exhausted. In 2025, the threshold will rise to $64,000. These debts include U.S. individual income taxes, trust fund recovery penalties, business taxes for which the taxpayer is personally liable and other civil penalties.

If the IRS notifies the U.S. State Dept. that you have SDTD, your passport may be denied, revoked or limited. Click here for the details, including the conditions required to reverse a certification.
