I have a IRS tax lien and would like to take out a loan to pay off my credit card debt. When I deposit the loan check,[$17, 000.00] will the IRS seize the check?

If you're really worried about this, take the check to the bank and have them convert it to a Cashier's Check payable to your credit card company.

Or ask the loan company to make the check payable to the credit card company.
