Can I get a government contracted job overseas if I owe the IRS money?

Question

I owe the IRS about $2,500 and I want to get an overseas job, but I was told that if you owe the IRS over $3,000 you cannot get a government contracted job. Is this true

Answer 1

Not true. They may attempt to garnish your wages, but doesn't in anyway interfere with your ability to contract with them
