It sounds like your mother has an account with an "in trust for" phrase on the name of the account. She intends for you to inherit the money without that money having to go through the probate court. At least that is how it works in this particular state. Normally, the IRS does not touch that type of account. However, if you owe back taxes and the account contains any money when she dies, they will take it before you get it.
