Passport Revocation & Travel Bans: Protecting Clients with Serious Tax Debt

Protecting clients with seriously delinquent tax debt. When a client owes the IRS more than the 2026 threshold of $66,000, their passport can be at risk, but certification is not automatic and it is not the same as revocation. This session covers what counts as seriously delinquent tax debt, how IRS certification to the State Department works and the exclusions that prevent it, the resolution methods that reverse a certification, and the timeframes to expect, from the 90-day hold on a passport application to expedited decertification for clients with travel booked.
