Unpaid Taxes May Result In Passport Revocation Or Denied Renewal

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will issue a CP508C notice to individuals whose tax debt has reached a specific threshold. The CP508C notice certifies a person’s tax account as “seriously delinquent” and prompts the State Department to act by impeding the U.S. passport renewal process.

After receiving certification from the IRS, the State Department has the authority to deny a passport application, revoke an existing passport and/or place limitation on how a debtor’s passport may be used for travel.
