sheriff sale with tax lien

[Bruce Runn]

I'm interested in buying a property at a sheriff's auction.  The property does have a big tax lien from the IRS but I've read they almost never pursue this.  My title company said as long as the attorney's representing the bank sent the IRS a letter letting them know about the foreclosure and it will essentially go away after the redemption period.  Does anyone have any experience with this?  or thoughts?
