trying to get a house and credit report shows i still owe for state taxes since 1991 & 1997. I thought they were suppose to place a lien if they didn't receive it in time. Also my ex husband is on my 1991 state taxes. How was he able to purchase a house and why am i left to pay the amount owed?

If the 'public record' section of your credit report shows you owe taxes, that may mean there is a lien against you. Without details I don't recommend posting, its hard to be sure. You should start by contacting the state to find out the status of the taxes. I you do owe, they will come looking for you eventually. The sooner you deal with it the easier, and cheaper, it will be. If you don't owe, the only way to remove the taxes from your credit report is if the state corrects you report. As for your husband being on the 1991 return, as long as your filed a joint return, the state can hold either or both of you responsible for the full amount.

Be cool and keep it quiet, you start talking and they will seize everything you got.
