I Didn’t Know My Spouse Owed the IRS:

Even if you have always paid your taxes on time, you may still find yourself liable for back taxes if your spouse or ex-spouse has outstanding tax debt. If you have ever filed a joint tax return, even divorce cannot exempt you from liability, and you should be aware of your partners standing with the IRS. You know how serious tax problems can be, particularly once the IRS has become involved. Ignoring your spouses tax problems can put undue strain on your relationship.

Fortunately, even if your spouse or ex-spouse has unresolved tax problems, you have options. The tax attorneys at Tax Help Associates can help you determine the best steps to take. For tax and IRS help, contact Tax Help Associates to let us guide you and your spouse toward a solution.
