My soon to be ex-wife is a real estate agent and in good faith when we were still together I trusted her to file the taxes.We haven't been together for the past 5 years, we now do our taxes separately. My problem is that a couple of months ago i recieved a packet from the IRS informing me that my soon to be ex-wife claimed ridiculous deductions and now owes 30,000 dollars from the taxes that for she filed for us. She supposely claimed dry-cleaning,car maintence, and many other unnecesary things for her job. I requested information for the years that she filed the taxes and it say SHE filed a Schedule C and Schedule SE and it says that she is Self-Employed. Okay, so now "we" owe 30,000 to the IRS, What can I do?? I didn't claim those deductions, plus what we owe is more then what i make in ONE year alone. She makes more then eighty thousand in a year. Will I be held liable for it? Or is there a way that i can make her solely responsible for it since she claimed it?
