I had put aside some of my Mom’s SS to pay some outstanding taxes. It is still in her bank. The nursing home has not yet gotten SS to go directly to them. Can I use what’s left in my Mom’s bank account to pay the taxes? If not, will the IRS come after the house, which Mom co-owns with my brother? Thanks.

If on Medicaid, you have spent down to 2k or below. This money can only be spent on her needs. Doctor bills incurred before Medicaid. No property taxes can be paid, utilities, or upkeep. This is now brothers responsibility. If she is private pay with Medicaid in her future, her money can only be used for her care.
