Re: federal income tax
No, a wife's independently owned and acquired property cannot be attached by a Federal Tax Lien. Please note, if the property is in JOINT names or was transferred from the Husband, the IRS can seek to impose a lien or transferre liability.
You should talk to your tax lawyer about this.
I hope this helps!
