U.S. Passport Holders: Make Sure Your Taxes Are In Order!

The United States government is serious about collecting tax debts and U.S. passport holders traveling internationally may be at risk if your taxes are not in compliance with federal law. New Internal Revenue Service Code § 7345 was added with the passing of the “FAST Act”.  The “FAST  (Fixing America’s Surface Transportation) Act” is five-year legislation to improve the nation’s surface transportation infrastructure; however, on page 1,113 of this mammoth act are new tax collection provisions which allow the U.S. State Department to revoke, deny or suspend a U.S. passport for anyone the IRS certifies as having a seriously delinquent tax debt.
