California. Does it matter if you file separately, and keep separate accounts? Julierg 7 months ago .

No and no. But really, why are you talking to random people on the Internet? Why are you not talking to either a lawyer or an accountant?

No. If your husband had the tax liability before you were married, you are not liable to pay the debt. The IRS, may require the financial information for your entire household.

They will use this information to determine how much your husband has to pay each month until all back taxes are paid. However, if you live in a community property state, the martial community is responsible for paying liabilities that pre-date the marriage. If you live in a community property state, (Alaska, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.) you will receive a a letter called a final notice.

Then the IRS has to wait 45 days before taking any action. To protect yourself, you can file an injured spouse claim, form 8379. This may protect you from any wage garnishment on your part.

It is not as cut and dried as just No. You need to contact an attorney to see what correct action you need to take.

Pre Martial debt is just that. In the event they should try (and they might try to tag your tax return if you file together), there is a special form that you file and they will release your return. Happened to me many years ago, I filed the form and they sent me my refund.

I would consult a lawyer though and get your spouses issues settled. It will only get worse if you let it go (fines and penalties).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
