Does a wife with no income have to file taxes with her husband?
It depends on how the wife is categorized and what assets are in her name, solely or jointly. Let's say there is a house in both of the names then yes, the wife has to file in a joint return with the husband. If the wife is a student then she will have to file and the husband may be able to claim her as a dependent. To be safe it is always better to file either a zero return solely or as the spouse on a joint return.

You would file a joint return with your wife--she is not a dependent. Child support arrears would likely be subtracted from your joint tax return.

You may request your portion of the refund by filing Form 8379 (PDF), Injured Spouse Allocation.You should obtain information from a licensed tax preparer.

Can the state take your wife's taxes if you pay child support?

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.
