The address on the IRS Notice of Lien is the last known address that IRS had when the lien was filed. Maybe she is there, maybe not. Send a letter and see if it comes back. IRS files liens as a matter of routine in cases where the taxpayer owes $5,000 or more. The lien just gives a total unpaid tax balance due and establishes IRS's rights against other creditors. Any connection between filing a routine tax lien and jail is meaningless.

She probably got scared & ran, but the IRS will most definitely track her down. She should had sit down with them, & came up with a plan; or else hired an Attorney, in her defense. One just can't hide from these people, & delaying the issue only adds onto the amount & maybe Jail time too. She'll get in so deep that there will be no good way out.

How would I know if she's in jail? You're the skip tracer, you tell me!
Merely owing the IRS $20k won't get you sent to prison.

She could be in jail for some unrelated reason or for tax fraud, but not for the lien.
