since this is a withdrawal of tax lien (and not a release), is it safe to assume the tax was not paid? Are you trying to figure out if the title company finds the withdrawal, will it cause the mortgage company to ask questions about the underlying tax? I'm guessing the mortgage company will want to know more details about the withdrawl.
If you still owe the tax, the mortgage company may want to see an installment agreement in place which will have an effect on your DTI. If you don't, they will probably just ask for a letter of explanation as to why it was withdrawn and not released. If it was paid, then you probably will just have to show proof that it was paid which you can get from your IRS account.
Point of reference: years ago, when i was building, i had a paid judgement from years before. the original judgement and the release of the judgement for being paid in full were recorded. the underwriter couldn't get the loan through because of the wording of the release. the system was looking for specific words...even though the documents were signed by the judge, notarized and noted in public records. it took a whole week for the mortgage company to clear up the issue, but they got it done. I'm guessing the wording on the public records documents may trigger other questions when it's run through the approval systems.
