In your dreams! The seller will have to submit an Application for Discharge of Property from Federal Tax Lien. Putting the application together is no cakewalk. I recommend to my clients that it be done as soon as escrow is opened because it ordinarily takes at least a month to get approved. If you make the requests 15 days before closing it is not going to be done and the sale may fall apart. IRS generally has a backlog and everybody wants theirs done yesterday so don't ask to jump to the head of the line. UPDATE: Plan on a wait of at least 30 days from the time the application for discharge was submitted.<br><b>References : </b><br>I am an enrolled agent, licensed by the Treasury Department to represent taxpayers the same as attorneys and CPAs.
