Can the IRS get my passport revoked if my Wyoming LLC owes back tax?
I'm a Mexican citizen with a Wyoming LLC. The LLC has unpaid Form 5472 penalties from 2023 and 2024 totaling around $50,000. I just renewed my Mexican passport and I'm planning to visit the U.S. for a trade show next year. A friend mentioned the IRS can flag people for passport revocation. Does that apply to me as a non-U.S. citizen, and what should I do?
