Americans could lose passports if ‘seriously delinquent’ on taxes | Fox News

Americans who are behind on their taxes could be denied a passport, or even have theirs revoked, unless they enter into a payment agreement — a radical step that forms part of a crackdown on delinquent tax debt legislated by Congress.

The IRS announced last month that it is beginning implementation of procedures aimed at cracking down on those with seriously delinquent tax debts.

It defines that as someone owing more than $51,000 in back taxes, penalties and interest, for which the agency has issued a levy or filed a notice and the period to challenge has expired.

Gadzooks! I don’t like the sound of this. This sounds a lot like a deprivation of liberty without due process of law.
