The IRS can put a lien on your home for past due child support and they will even charge interest.
Levy is by a county or municipality for taxes owed. A lien is for money owed on a home or money borrowed against the home. If you owe back taxes, then IRS or State taxing authorities may file a notice of lien and a notice of levy, but they are totally different. Tax levy is much more serious and usually a levy is the last tool that the IRS will use to collect the tax debt. When IRS puts a lien on your home, they are doing this to assure they will get paid if you sell it. Having a tax lien will affluence your credit rating; you may not get a new credit card or sign a new lease because liens are public record. If you get a levy on your home, it means the IRS is taking action to collect the debt.
An IRS tax lien means the IRS is placing a lien against your hours or other personal property. This is usually due to you owing the IRS an amount of money. If you cannot pay it within a certain amount of time, they could put a lien on your property, seize it, and sell it in order to make the money they are owed.

No. Only the IRS and/or state tax agencies can place a lien against real property of the person who has tax arrearages. Also, only the IRS or States can get a lien filed without going to court.
There are different types of tax liens (IRS, county, state). I'll assume you have an IRS lien. A lien against your residence will prevent you from refinancing the existing home unless you get the IRS to approve a subordination. This means they agree to allow a mortgage company to take a priority position on the title of the home, in front of the tax lien. If you do not own a home, or are referring to a purchase, and the tax lien is against all your personal property, the lender will likely require that it be paid or otherwise satisfied. Before the credit and housing crash it was difficult to obtain financing with a lien against your property (think about a mortgage company considering loaning on a home that they have reason to know may have a lien placed against it by the IRS once you own it) but now it would be far more difficult with the pull back in underwriting requirements.
An IRS Lien attaches to all property that you own, and it also attaches to "after-acquired" property (property that you acquired after the filing of the lien).Even though the house was quit-claimed to you after the filing of the lien, the lien has now properly attached to it. This means that the IRS could, technically, seize the home. It should be noted that if this house is your primary residence, the IRS cannot seize a primary residence without the order of the courts (which almost never happens).If you are in contact with the IRS and make a plan for resolution of the debt, the IRS will generally not seize property. The only time that IRS seizes real estate these days is in cases of blatant evasion or fraud. Your best course is to get in contact with them and work with them to take care of the taxes.
They can, but they will likely put a lien on something of value before they do that, a car or a home. (Even if your car has a lien their is a spot for a second lien holder)
To sell your home, you put a FOR SALE sign out front. If the value of the lien is less than what you will get out of the house, then when you sell the house and pay off the lien, you get the rest of the money. If the lien is for more than the house is worth and you are ready to move elsewhere, you hand the keys to the IRS and say. "Here, have fun. It is all yours." At that point you owe more on the house than the house is worth.
The IRS has the right to put a lien on any property/assets where a taxpayer has liability (owes the IRS). Its a safe bet to say that if you owe the IRS, you have a lien placed on your property, but not in all cases. If you are placed in a resolution called Currently Not Collectible, the IRS will automatically file a lien. So to answer you question, the IRS can both place a lien on the house and issue a levy simultanously. No the IRS will not take into consideration the age of the individual owing the tax debt.
The IRS can garnish a retirement pension if you owe overdue back taxes. This type of garnishment is called a levy.
A tax lien is typically something that is issued by the IRS on people's taxes. The definition of a tax lien is basically is a law used in order to secure property to pay taxes.
