I have a short sale coming up only to find there is an IRS tax lien.  Any suggestions on how to handle that?  OR is it a deal killer before we even start?

See Karla's post. Yes, I've done it- and as Karla writes it surprisingly is more simple than the short sale itself.  The client will still owe the amount to the IRS though- it is not forgiven, only released from the house.

 You can short sale a property with a federal tax lien. You need the form,  discharge of the federal tax lien. I believe it's a form 783. Basically you have to show their lien is valueless. You'll need an appraisal, the offer, a HUD1, a payoff from the mortgage company and the short sale approval. It takes about 30-45 days. It's not nearly as hard as the short sale itself.
