I leased property to a friend for 2 years verbally he paid both years up front says he purchased land deed still in my name and I pay taxes on land how do I get him off land?

You evict him as you would any tenant, according to the laws of your state.
If you need help finding them, tell us the state.
As for his claim of a land deed, without documents he is blowing smoke.

He is just lying to you, there is no "land deed" or any land purchase without written contract or wirtten sales agreement.

Make sure he has not forged your name to documents at the court house, Beyond that, explain to him, if he continues these lies, you will be forced to evict him

Any question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area.

So he paid for 2 years. Was there anything in your agreement for what happens when the 2 years expired?

Generally, you send him written notification to vacate the property. How much time you give him to vacate depends on the answer to the above question and your locale.

If he doesn't vacate by the deadline, you go to court for an eviction notice. This will then involve a hearing. If he wants to claim that you sold him the property, he will have to prove it.

Well, one could sign a deed without a contract, but OP says it didn't happen in this case.
