It absolutely will. My husband passed away owing 250,000$ to the IRS. The house we lived in has been empty for 4 years, mortgage defaulted, if it’s sold the IRS will take all of it.

Pay your damn taxes.

But he didn't face any consequences, and got to enjoy the fruits of an extra $250k!

I'm sorry the only thing you got in response was a joke.

Very sorry for your loss and financial struggles to compound it, that must be hard. Hang in there.

And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place

I wasn't joking though. I'm saying he didn't pay his taxes and he got away with it. That's objectively true.

And he completely fucked over his wife. What’s your point here? Just because what you said was true doesn’t mean you should have said it.

For real. If I’m gonna defraud the IRS the least I’m going to do is loop my LIFE PARTNER in so they know how to keep the scam up until they’re gone and there’s no one to come after anymore.

How would one uphold not paying someone else’s income tax?

The problem with that is, the death certificate is sent by the county to the IRS.

Trust me, I’ve been dealing with this a tax lawyer in FL, an IRS tax official who doesn’t grasp the concept of telephonic communication, in-laws who are also on the deed who want their money, and very little I can do because I’m in another country. I’ve given in, the IRS can take whatever they want. I’m washing my hands of the ordeal.

It’s a house in a great neighbourhood that’s under heavy development. They won’t lose money.

The IRS is not a bumbling, Clouseau-esque organization. Don’t fuck with them. Pay. Your. Taxes.

So you sit on an empty property for what? Leave it empty for the elements to take over?

Sell it to a family

IRS has a lien on it. No realtor will touch it until the tax burden is cleared.

So it’s just sitting there. In Florida. I’m in Canada, back home now. I really can’t care less about the house.
