If you do not satisfy your full tax liability or negotiate an installment payment agreement, or if an offer in compromise is under review, withdrawn, or rejected, New York State may use any or all of the following activities to collect your tax liability.
Tax warrant
A tax warrant may be filed against you. A warrant is the equivalent of a legal judgment against you and creates a lien against your real and personal property when filed. The warrant is a public record, on file at your County Clerk’s office and with the Secretary of State. It publicly acknowledges that you owe New York State taxes and may adversely affect your credit rating. It may make it difficult for you to get a loan or buy or sell real property. A warrant remains on file with the County Clerk and the Secretary of State until the tax liability is satisfied or the warrant expires.
