You say you had your lawyer draw up papers. You should be talking to your lawyer. If there are back taxes on the land you have to pay them or a tax buyer will pay them and get a tax certificate and later a tax deed to the property. Go back to your lawyer and get him or her to explain this to you.... View More

When the IRS files tax liens, they contain a date on which they automatically release. If that date has now passed, then the lien is released even if the IRS has not filed an actual release on your property records. If you are unsure of the date listed on the lien, you can see a copy of it, usually... View More

She filed his tax return online with H&R Block. And she was told to have his refund directly deposited into my bank account like she did last year. But instead she had it sent to her account. And now she refuse to give it to him.

It sounds like you are stating she filed his tax return without him being present to review and approve the return or authorize its filing. This is very unusual without a specific Power of Attorney authorizing her to do so. However, since it sounds like she was authorized to do this by your son,... View More

In short, no. Based on your question, I would guess that the person likely holds either a tax certificate or a tax deed (one may demand a tax deed three years after they acquire a certificate of sale, i.e. a tax certificate).

For a person with an income tax lien filed, can the State of Alabama file a garnishment on their checking account?
answered on Apr 12, 2011
In short answer, YES! Tax debts and liens are usually the hardest to deal with because they are extremely difficult to discharge.
