“If you think your U.S. citizenship gives you the right to a U.S. passport, think again. The government has several ways to cancel or refuse to renew your passport. And now, Congress is poised to give it one more: if you owe money to the IRS. Hidden within the 2013 highway funding bill are a few paragraphs with the innocent-sounding title of the ‘Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act.’ Section 40304 of this act would revoke your passport if you have a ‘seriously delinquent tax debt.’ In other words, if you owe the IRS $50,000 or more, the Feds can revoke your passport. There’s no hearing and no opportunity to contest this decision.”
