Upcoming Foreclosures

If there is a tax lien on our real property would it also apply to 2 acres of land that we own south of town?

The 2 acres is vacant and has no real address. I'm sorry I failed to mention that the tax lien is a federal tax lien.

1. No. Tax liens are specific to the property for which taxes are delinquent. However, the county could potentially sue you, gain a personal judgment against you, and then place a lien on ANY property you own. But, they won't do that, they'll either sell the tax lien certificate or foreclose on the property where taxes are delinquent, depending upon which method is used in your state. EDIT: If the IRS places a tax lien on your property, they will generally put it on everything you own including real estate, cars, bank accounts, or anything else that can have a lien placed on it.
2. A Notice of Federal Tax Lien will attach to all the taxpayer's property in that county and all personal property everywhere.
3. Federal tax liens apply to all of your property. You need to deal with this one because it won't go away and you will start accumulating interest charges and late fees. Work out a payment plan or get an enrolled agent to look things over for you and perhaps file an amended return for the year or years in question. If you filed with H & R Block and took their peace of mind product go back to them with the IRS letter. It sounds like you need a lot of help and the sooner you get started the better off you will be. This will not go away all by itself.
4. A federal tax lien attaches to all real and personal property that you own. A federal tax lien attaches to all real property owned in the county that it was filed in. The property does not need an address for the lien to attach. The address on the lien is for identification purposes only. It does not mean anything with respect to what property is being attached. It is just the address of your address of record.
