I thought I'd try doing our taxes this year asked DH for his W-2 and he handed me a stack from 2000 - 2006 and told me the last time he filed was 1999! Looking the W-2's over noticed one year had $0 Fed tax withholding and the rest were only a little over $1000.00 in Fed withholdings. He makes between $30 - $46 a year. He then tells me he prefiled with his employer to go tax exempt for one year and the rest of the years as having 8 dependents when there's only DH, my son and I.
#1, DH says to do nothing until we can get a tax attorney.
I want to get these things filed ASAP and see where we stand.
Which would be best?
#2, I don't work DH wants to file Married filing jointly to try and get the most to offset his owed amount. My understanding is if we file jointly I become responsible for this as well. After years of this kind of crap, divorce is afloat and I don't want to be stuck with his idiots debt. Any advice?

Should I file these ASAP or wait to get a tax attorney?
After years of being in the hole I was given control of our finances in June 2006 and just got us paid up on all our debts. Now this. Can I claim the first $12,000.00 of DH's life insurance as a tax free gift? I am only joking....... ha ha yeah ha
