Responsibility of parent.
Generally, a child is responsible for filing his or her own tax return and for paying any tax on the return. But if a dependent child who must file an income tax return cannot file it for any reason, such as age, then a parent, guardian, or other legally responsible person must file it for the child. If the child cannot sign the return, the parent or guardian must sign the child's name followed by the words "By (your signature), parent for minor child."
Amounts a child earns by performing services are his or her gross income. This is true even if under local law the child's parents have the right to the earnings and may actually have received them. If the child does not pay the tax due on this income, the parent is liable for the tax.
Certain Children Under Age 19 or Full-Time Students
If a child's only income is interest and dividends (including capital gain distributions and Alaska Permanent Fund dividends), the child was under age 19 at the end of 2009 or was a full-time student under age 24 at the end of 2009, and certain other conditions are met, a parent can elect to include the child's income on the parent's return. If this election is made, the child does not have to file a return. See Parent's Election To Report Child's Interest and Dividends in chapter 31.

Are spouses responsible for tax debt?
That is a great questions and it relies on a couple key points of information. A spouse is only responsible for tax debt if they: A. filed a joint return during the year the tax event (or debt) occurred B. The spouse filed separately, but shares a bank account with an individual who has a tax lien or levy filed against them as the IRS may seize the bank account (and in doing so seize the spouses money as well). The good news is there are ways to detach a spouse from the liability via an Innocent spouse claim. Additionally, there are many ways to resolve back tax debt via IRS resolution programs aimed at assisting tax payers to resolve back tax liabilities. These include IRS settlements, income based repayment plans, and/or non collectible statuses where the tax payer's expenses exceed their income and show they have an inability to afford the tax debt. We always recommend consulting with an experienced tax practitioner who deals specifically with back tax debt and IRS & State tax resolutions.
