Very sorry for your loss. You need help that is far beyond the scope of the income tax return and tax software help we can provide in this user forum. You must seek the help of an attorney who can advise you about what to do regarding the house. You say you consulted an attorney when you "drew up papers" so you might want to start with that attorney. If that attorney is not well-versed in tax laws you will need to ask him to refer you to someone who is. You say there was an IRS lien on the house --you need legal help. We cannot provide legal advice.
" I did not file joint with him. In fact we were not even together yet. "
We do not know what you mean by we were not together. You are referring to your husband at the beginning of your post--were you legally married?
