My mother owns a house in NJ that is paid off. She put my brother's name on the deed when she purchased it. She has paid off the house. Now my brother owes the IRS a lot of money. Can the IRS put a lien on the house even though my mother's name is also on the deed and she doesn't owe anything?

The problem is that since your brother's name is already on the deed to the house, and he already owes the IRS money, if you take his name off the deed, the IRS probably can still go after the house, claiming that he was taken off the deed just to avoid the tax lien.

not sufficient suggestion to declare. What state do you reside in? What years are the tax costs from? How did you record for those years? in case you filed MFS for all years which you wee married, customarily his tax costs are his on my own and could not connect with you. besides the undeniable fact that in case you lived in a community property state that isn't be the case considering that all costs of the marital property belong the two to the two spouses. And in 3 states, identity, CA and l. a., even costs that predated the marriage could be lined interior the marital property.

Yup they can. Better get his name off of it ASAP... Never underestimate the power of the IRS, they have far more power than the police private courts or anything like that.

Yes they can and will. If it is in his name they can attach any real property and bank accounts they can find.
