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.
