Are you responsible for back taxes if you marry someone who owes back taxes?

Technically, no. If you filed your own returns for those years and your returns were fine, it's your spouse's balance. It only becomes your balance if you were married and filing jointly on the year with a balance.
However, your spouses ability to pay his/her tax debt is based on HOUSEHOLD income and expenses. This means that although getting married won't affect you, getting married will affect your spouse. More directly, the IRS will expect more money from him/her quicker.
Hope that helps!

Is the buyer of a foreclosure home responsible for any back taxes still owed?
As a technical legal rule, the answer is that the buyer of a foreclosure home is not personally liable for back taxes that remain owed. However, the back taxes may well still serve as a lien on the property that can be foreclosed by the taxing authority. In other words, the government cannot make you pay the taxes, but they can take the property from you if the taxes are not paid. As a result, the real world answer is that the buyer of a foreclosed home is responsible for any back taxes still owed. Before you purchase foreclosed property, it is always a good idea to check the tax records to see if any back taxes are still owed. If they are, plan on paying them off as soon as possible. Unfortunately the new owner will still be responsible for the taxes. My friend got what she thought was a great deal on a split level until she got a bill for six thousand dollars back taxes. She was unable to pay so she lost the house.

If someone has a fiance visa but chooses not to marry her fiance what is the possibility for her to marry someone else before the 90 days are up and can she marry with the current visa?
You took an oath that you are free and that you will marry him/her. It is a conditional visa. You brake the law if you do and really is fraud. Go back, do not get married and wait for your new love to call you back....
Who is responsible for back taxes on a quitclaim deed?
It is the responsibility of the land owner to pay the property taxes. If a land owner is selling property for which back taxes are owed the payment of the taxes can be part of the negotiations for the sale of the land. However, the issue must be addressed prior to the sale.It is up to the purchaser of property to make certain the property taxes have been paid by the seller at the time of the purchase. If the buyer doesn't demand proof the taxes have been paid BEFORE the sale, the land will be acquired SUBJECT TO any back taxes owed. If land is purchased for which back taxes are owed the new owner will be responsible for paying the back taxes or the town will take possession of the property.The purchase of real property should always be supervised by an attorney. One of the first items on the land purchase check list is to obtain a certificate from the town that states the taxes are paid.
