In case you missed it, back in 2015 the FAST Act was signed into law. This month, the IRS will begin enforcing the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act’s provisions by requiring anyone with a serious tax debt to either pay up, payment up or potentially give up their passports or their rights to one.

According to the irs.gov article published January 16, 2018, “Taxpayers affected by this law are those with a seriously delinquent tax debt.  A taxpayer with a seriously delinquent tax debt is generally someone who owes the IRS more than $51,000 in back taxes, penalties and interest for which the IRS has filed a Notice of Federal Tax Lien and the period to challenge it has expired or the IRS has issued a levy.”

If you or someone you know is in this situation, read the rest of the article here to find out how to become compliant or to see if you qualify for an exemption to the FAST Act.
