A tax lien has been filed, and a payment plan has been set up. Payments are being made, but the lien is stopping the loan process for company expansion. How can the lien be removed once the payment plan starts? Are there any hardship causes that could lead to the lien being removed? What are the steps to achieve this?

My husband's mother passed away in April and left investments to his brother and him. The amounts are 6,042.90 (no tax taken), 2,016.76 (no tax taken), 28,943.76 (4,341.65 tax taken), 2,578.17 (257.82 tax taken), and 17,168.81 (2,575.36 tax taken). These are from different investments, including a small life insurance policy. We live in Florida, and she lived in New York. We gave some of this to our sons to pay bills and kept the rest. We want to know how this affects our potential tax liability and what steps we should take before April.

I have a rental property that I've owned since 2000. I refinanced it in 2002, increasing the loan from 84k to 130k, but didn't add the 46k difference to my tax return. Can I add this now? Additionally, I sold the property in 2014 for 128k, including all closing costs and net assets. Is there anything else I can deduct to lower my taxes?
