Husband dies leaves unpaid income taxes filing jointly is wife responsible if there is no estate in Indiana?
Joint filers are both responsible for the entire tax bill. If the unpaid taxes are from a year that the couple filed jointly, the wife is fully responsible for any unpaid taxes unless she can meet the qualifications for innocent spouse relief. After the filing deadline, a joint return cannot be amended to separate returns. If there are unpaid taxes from 2008, the wife can still file a separate return for 2008. If a joint return has been filed for 2008, they have until April 15, 2009 to amend.

Can an employee garnish your check if your wife owes taxes?
It depends on how your taxes were filed when your wife accrued the tax debt. If you filed them jointly, then you are equally accountable for the debt meaning that your paycheck can be garnished, and future refunds can be offset. In other words: If you and your wife filed jointly in 2009 and the end result was a payment of $5000.00 to the IRS and that sum still has not been paid, then you can be held accountable for the debt. If you both filed individually and only she accrued an unpaid debt, then you will not be held accountable so long as the two of you continue to file individually. The easiest way to avoid all of this is to speak with a representative from the IRS and set up a payment plan. While on a payment/rehabilitation plan, your paychecks will NEVER be garnished and future refunds will NEVER be offset.
