Bad Stock advice - lost all investments - could not pay $20,000 in taxes (now closer to 30)-year 2001
Lien on our home & rental home. Renter wants to buy. We hope we can sell with enough to make acceptable offer to IRS after paying off mortgage but don't know how to go about it. Do we notify IRS of intent to sell?
I know they don't care we are elderly/disabled citizens. We don't want to mess up with the result being they foreclose on our home...HELP!

The lien will be paid when the house is sold -- the escrow company will pay the IRS before paying you. The IRS is not likely to 'settle' when they can get the full amount.
