False if you are talking about things before you were married. But if you file a joint return after you are married and have a refund coming, you'll have to file a special form called an injured spouse form to keep your share of the refund from being taken for the other person's back taxes.
After you are married, if you file a joint return with them, then you are equally responsible for anything they don't report properly. If you live in a community property state, special rules apply to taxes after you are married.

Sometimes sort of TRUE. The debt is still separate, but if you file jointly, the refund isn't.
If a couple files jointly in California, the IRS can attach the ENTIRE refund to apply it to the premarital IRS debt. The injured spouse will not change this.
If a couple files jointly in Texas, the IRS will look to see who had income. Some fo the refund of the injured spouse will be applied to the other spouse's premarital debt even if the injured spouse form is filed.

You must pay for the spouse's tax liability if you are filing jointly.
If you file separately then the IRS will look for the spouse not paying taxes.
