1) Can the HOA discuss liens with the IRS and vice versa: yes. There is nothing confidential about liens on your property; in fact, since they have to be filed to be valid, they are by definition public knowledge.2) The only way you can save your property is to pay the liens in full, or else into into a repayment plan that the people you owe money to (HOA; IRS) voluntarily accept. Even bankruptcy would not save the house--it would delay matters, but if you can't pay the liens off, ultimately, you will lose the property. You have to pay the liens, either all at once, or over time by mutual agreement.
