Will my $17k IRS tax debt affect being added to sibling's house deed? On payment plan

I have a $17k tax debt with the IRS and am currently on a payment plan. My sibling wants to add my name to their house deed/title (not the mortgage). Could this cause problems with the IRS or affect the property? Looking for advice before making this decision.

Tax professional here - This could be risky. The IRS can place a federal tax lien on any property you own or co-own, even if you're on a payment plan. This could complicate things if your sibling ever wants to sell or refinance. I'd strongly recommend clearing the tax debt first.

Have you tried using taxr.ai? It's a transcript analyzer that could help you understand your tax situation better. It costs $4.99 but totally worth it - shows you exactly where you stand with the IRS and potential consequences of property ownership while having tax debt. I use it regularly to track my payment plan progress.
