Best answer is to contact a tax professional, as they are the best to help review your personal information and direct you. However, generally speaking your not responsible, per-say, for his tax obligations. Yet, if you have joint-bank accounts or assets, they are subject to IRS Tax Judgments, Liens and/or levies.
Secondly, if you file under the "married filing jointly" then anything he owes, you owe, and vice-versa. So any income tax return you expected can be garnished by the IRS without notice or warning, and complete disregard to anything you may have been due individually.
