My father inherited land, which he sold in 2017 but did not pay the tax at the time of sale. The IRS charged these taxes in 2018, which my parents were paying at $200/month. There is still over $3,000 owing. My father died in April 2019. Is my mother still responsible for paying this tax?
answered on Apr 24, 2020
It's going to depend based on filing status,potential innocent spouse defense, and possibly other factors.
Short answer is it depends. You should retain counsel to review the matter and deal with the IRS directly to challenge the tax assessed or work out a plan to resolve the amounts owed.

You will need to speak to the attorney that is doing the closing to see how the deed is being drafted. That attorney will be in the best position to advise you and your mother on that situation.
