Legal Question in Tax Law in California

The truck may be subject to a Federal Tax Lien if your name is on the title. Based on the limited facts provided, the transfer to your mother does not, on the surface, appear to be an arm's length transaction and may still be subject to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) collection enforcement. Even if it were an arm's length transaction, the lien rights likely were already vested before the transfer. Working to amicably resolve the debt is the best approach to avoiding enforced collection actions by the IRS.

There are several collection alternatives available to taxpayers who are unable to pay their IRS tax debt. Each case is unique. Many additional facts are needed to accurately answer your question and determine what option is best for your individual circumstances. An experienced tax relief attorney should be able to review your options with you, often through a free consultation.
