What is “Seriously Delinquent Tax Burden”?

“Seriously delinquent tax burden” is an unpaid, legally enforceable federal tax burden totaling more than $52,000. If you meet these criteria, the IRS now has the authorization to take action, working with the State Department, to deny or delay your passport application. If you already have a valid passport, it may be revoked. And if you are already overseas, your passport may be limited to only allowing a direct return to the United States. For many Americans working overseas that rely on a passport for a job or for travel mobility, this could be a huge problem.
