Since a large part of your income will be going to pay your back taxes, you will not be able to shoulder your fair share of the family responsibilities and your spouse will have to pick up the slack. Your spouse will need to pay more than their fair share of food, rent, car payments, and other bills and will live a poorer lifestyle. This can eventually lead to tension and resentment in the marriage. Financial problems are a leading cause of failed marriages.

Of course, any joint tax refunds will be confiscated to reduce unpaid taxes. Your spouse can go through the pain of filing an injured spouse relief request each year or pay a lot more taxes by filing separately in order to avoid this. A smart spouse in this situation would reduce his/her withholding at work so that they would not be owed a refund at the end of the year.
