Does anyone know if an IRA (Individual Retirement Account) is protected from deficiency judgments?

Absolutely yes it is protected. An IRA is a qualified plan. It is not subject to forfeiture in judgements nor is in an asset available to a trustee in bankruptcy.

I have not heard of a lender forcing a seller to pay from any retirement funds. However if you have a sale that may have tax implications & your seller is trying to prove insolvency by IRS standards in order to avoid the taxes they do use retirement funds to calculate that.
