he had them before they got married

When my ex and I divorced, the IRS hit me for his back taxes for 3 years. Apparently we had filed jointly the first year we were married, and he didn't bother filing again after that. So, when I filed by myself the first year after we split, the IRS went back and held me liable for his taxes for each year we were married.
Yes, if she filed jointly at any point in time, they will hold her responsible for the years that they were married. Sorry I couldn't give you a happier answer :(

If the taxes due are the result of his individual returns before they were married, she should not be liable. However, she should be sure to include a provision in the separation agreement that he is solely responsible for paying the arrearage, interest and penalties.

She knew he substitute into receiving earnings that they as a pair weren't claiming. for that reason, she is merely as in charge for the fraud as he's. She had each staggering to document 'married, submitting one after the different' if she objected, yet of course, she theory the providence substitute into appropriate. Her husband is right. as quickly as a legal professional is contacted, this counsel will substitute into accepted and the IRS will finally end up in touch. Her decision is to touch IRS rapidly and plan to pay the returned taxes. she will have the ability to then keep away from a criminal intending. keep in mind that the IRS may additionally avert her from getting welfare counsel. Sorry, i'm no longer sympathetic with tax evaders. She chosen to break the regulation as much as he did. BTW, opposite to a pair of your posters, the choose will strengthen the earnings subject concerns fairly once you get to the toddler help section. If she thinks she will have the ability to be taken to the cleaners (no longer receiving a million/2 of marital sources) or real looking toddler help, then she needs to get a legal professional and merely be honest relating to the placement.

If you signed a joint return you are attesting to the validity of the tax form, so they could get you for 7 years

That will have to be worked out in the final divorce decree. If I were her I would fight tooth and nail to leave that debt with him. Most debts are split, since that one was obtained before the marriage, it will probably be given to him after.

Probably not, but i was in that situation and I did not file jointly with him during the entire relationship to make sure that I wasn't.... That would be the glitch that would concern me.
Easy question to have answered.. try putting it the Legal forum here... (lots of lawyers there.)

If they were from before they got married I don't think so but she should call the IRS and make sure.

I think only on the returns for the years that she herself was filing a joint return with him and hence, had signed.

She shouldn't be, but I would get her a lawyer because the IRS doesn't care who pays as long as someone pays...
