Hello everyone, I was married to an American citizen, but he has left me with a debt with the IRS, I had to apply for a program called Offer in Compromise, which I was accepted and paid the assigned amount already 1 month ago 🙏🏻, this prevented me apply for my Citizenship, My question is, After paying the amount of the offer in compromise with the IRS, when do they remove it from the records so that I do not make my application?
Thanks for your answers! 🙏🏻

Jul 15, 2020 - Paying your tax debt - in full - is the best way to get rid of a federal tax lien. The IRS releases your lien within 30 days after you have paid

 

According to IRS site

 

I would also take the notice of compromise and paid off notice to interview

You need to be "of good moral character" when applying for citizenship. Having (or have had) issues with the IRS may be viewed as not having that. It is left up to the officer as a judgement call.

Having a tax debt and taking responsibility for it does not automatically disqualify you. (Trust me I know this one for a fact). Do bring the paperwork with you to the interview.

Is that different from innocent spouse or injured spouse relief?
