When the NFTL is filed it to alerts creditors you owe the government.
The NFTL secures the government’s claim to your current and future property and assets until the balance is paid in full.
While NFTLs no longer appear on credit reports, they may still affect your ability to get credit if a potential creditor uses other resources, such as public records, to discover the NFTL.
