New York Business Loan With an IRS Tax Lien — Federal Tax Lien Financing

By Sarah Mitchell, CPA | Reviewed by: James Okafor, EA | Updated May 2026

A federal tax lien is the IRS’s public claim against all of a New York business’s assets — current and future. Once filed, the Notice of Federal Tax Lien is publicly recorded, appears on credit reports, disqualifies the business from most bank financing, and can trigger default clauses in existing loans. Tax lien subordination financing is the primary solution.

IRS Tax Lien Financing in New York: What You Need to Know

The IRS files a Notice of Federal Tax Lien (NFTL) automatically after a tax assessment goes unpaid for 10 days following the Final Notice of Intent to Levy (Letter 1058). In New York, federal tax liens are filed in the New York county where the business has its principal place of business. The lien attaches to all current and future assets — equipment, receivables, bank accounts, real property, and even future tax refunds.
