Best Answer

Call the tax authority that administers the tax and ask. However, if you have been concealing taxable income or activities and/or have not filed a tax return, they may not know about your undisclosed back taxes.

If you're talking about federal (IRS) taxes, simply call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 and ask.

You would not be able to get this information online from the IRS. You may be able to find out by contacting your local IRS in person and asking some at the local office if they can assist you with finding out if you owe the IRS any back taxes.

Is the buyer of a foreclosure home responsible for any back taxes still owed?

As a technical legal rule, the answer is that the buyer of a foreclosure home is not personally liable for back taxes that remain owed. However, the back taxes may well still serve as a lien on the property that can be foreclosed by the taxing authority. In other words, the government cannot make you pay the taxes, but they can take the property from you if the taxes are not paid. As a result, the real world answer is that the buyer of a foreclosed home is responsible for any back taxes still owed. Before you purchase foreclosed property, it is always a good idea to check the tax records to see if any back taxes are still owed. If they are, plan on paying them off as soon as possible. Unfortunately the new owner will still be responsible for the taxes. My friend got what she thought was a great deal on a split level until she got a bill for six thousand dollars back taxes. She was unable to pay so she lost the house.
