If there is a link between the names listed on the deed to your property and the lien filed by the IRS you will have to petition the IRS to discharge the property from the lien. This is a complicated process and I advise you to seek professional help. Basically you will submit an appraisal showing the fair market value of the property along with a detailed form that lists all liens encumbering the property along with your reason for seeking the discharge. If there is equity in the property than the IRS will want your husband's half interest in that money. Katie’s answer is correct regarding your liability if you are named on the lien.
