Divorce: Husband's IRS Tax lien on property
What is the name of your state? Florida.
Lets say my name is Maria and I am in the process of getting divorce from my husband. The problem situation is as follow:
My husband and I own a house and as part of the divorce settlement I plan to keep the house. However, my husband owes taxes to the IRS and hence the IRS put a lien on all properties own by my husband. Therefore, I would like to know if the IRS has any claims on the house once we get divorced and I keep the house for myself only. Please note the following:
a) My husband owed the taxes prior to the date we bought the house.
b) By Florida law, since we were married at the time we bought the house, the house has to be in my name and his name. When we bought the house, my intention was to buy it only on my name but I could not do it because of Florida law. Also, the house represents our primary residence since we bouhgt it.
c) As determined by the court, I am not responsible for any of the taxes owe by my husband to the IRS and the IRS does not have any claims against me.
d) The amount of money my husband owes to the IRS is 6 time larger than the current equity on the house and 6 time larger than his current salary so he can not pay. Supposely, the IRS will cancel the total debt in the year 2004 (ten year rule) if by then my husband still unable to pay it.
Hence, I would like to know the following:
1) If you are a Florida resident, can the IRS put a lien on your primary residence?
2) Since I will be the only owner and the house will be my primary residence after the divorce, can the IRS put a lien on the house after the divorce?
3) Would I owe any money to the IRS by getting the house as part of the divorce settlement?
I would appreciate your answer to these questions.
