What if a person dies in Feb 08 owing the IRS taxes for 07 but was separated from his spouse by the end of the fiscal year 07 - is the spouse liable for the IRS debt?
If the spouse inherited the estate, the spouse will pay the IRS debt. Since the two were still married, the taxes must be paid by the remaining spouse.If they were separated at the end of 2007 I assume that they did not file a joint return for the 2007 taxes. If this is the case, the husband's estate must pay the taxes. If the estate cannot pay the taxes in full, then the spouse will not be held liable for anything that is still owed. A distinction must be made between the spouse being liable and the estate being liable.The only way that the spouse is fully liable is if the return was a joint return.

If you think your spouse is evading taxes and you may be liable if you file a joint return, then you should file separately.

What if your spouse refuses to pay taxes on earned income?
I suggest not filing a joint return. Using the Married Filing Separately filing status will not allow you to claim some tax benefits and you won't have the benefits of combining your income, but it will save you if your spouse is audited. If you file jointly, you will be fully responsible for the taxes on the omitted income. Filing a joint return creates something called "joint & several liability" which means you are both responsible for the entire tax liability, even if it's later adjusted because one spouse omitted income or committed tax evasion. Read IRS Publication 971 to find out the difficulty of not being held responsible for your spouse's actions. That's why I recommend not filing a joint return with your spouse. The benefits will not be worth the cost if they are caught evading taxes.
You did not work and your spouse owes tax are you responsible?
On the married filing joint income tax return it is not the spouse that owes the tax because the spouse worked and earned the income it is we owe taxes on the joint income tax return because the spouse worked and earned the income.If this is about some past due taxes that the spouse owes then the below information would apply.Go to the Internal Revenue Service web page and use the search box for form 8379 go to page 2.Form 8379 is filed by one spouse (the injured spouse) on a jointly filed tax return when the joint overpayment was (or is expected to be) applied (offset) to a past-due obligation of the other spouse. By filing Form 8379, the injured spouse may be able to get back his or her share of the joint refund.Are You an Injured Spouse?You may be an injured spouse if you file a joint tax return and all or part of your portion of the overpayment was, or is expected to be, applied (offset) to your spouse's legally enforceable past-due federal tax, state income tax, child or spousal support, or a federal nontax debt, such as a student loan.
