I can't offer help regarding whether you can wholesale a house with back taxes owed... That is where i would start to research.

No one can tell you if this is a deal without a LOT more info. Basically you are selling your contract for $99,000 ($85k + $4k + $10k). The ARV you have guessed at $155k. How much work is needed, $10k, $20k, $50k? What kind of closing costs do you pay in your area? What kind of holding costs, taxes, etc? These are things you need to know before you lock down a property that isn't a deal and you can't sell. I would also make certain someone not paying their taxes is paying their utilities, because that could also add up if they aren't.
