Legal Question in Tax Law in California

Re: State lien Release

CA does not recognize a statute of limitations for collecting unpaid taxes. The 10 year statute of limitations discussed by the credit agency is likely the federal statute of limitations.

There are two issues here - the first is whether or not the liens may be included on your credit report; the second is whether or not the liens exist.

I have not researched the issue but I believe that credit reporting agencies are required to remove derogatory entries that are older than 7 years old.

However, if you want to get rid of the liens in CA, you will need to negotiate with the CA tax agency involved, or hire someone else to do that for you.

Re: State lien Release

Your CA tax liens do not have a limitations period.
