Notify the IRS that you have redeemed the property. Generally, the Advisor who handled the seizure processing will be your point of contact. Contact the Revenue Officer who seized your property or the Property Appraisal and Liquidation Specialist (PALS) who sold your property to obtain the Advisor’s contact information. You will need to provide the following information: Name and address of the taxpayer from whom property was seized and sold Name and address of the person who redeemed the property (if someone other than the taxpayer) Date of redemption and of the transfer of the Certificate of Sale The amount paid to redeem the property (list breakdown of sale price plus interest) Name and address of the person from whom the property was redeemed If the purchaser cannot be found in the county in which the property to be redeemed is situated, or if the purchaser is evading contact in order to prevent redemption, the payment may be made to the area director for the Internal Revenue area in which the property is situated. In this instance, the payment should be made out to the United States Treasury. Generally, the Advisor who handled the seizure processing can assist you with redeeming the property. Contact the Revenue Officer who seized your property or the Property Appraisal and Liquidation Specialist (PALS) who sold your property to obtain the Advisor’s contact information.
