The statutes of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and the common law and rules made in their regard can and do specify and define where the laws of a community property State apply to its effect.

Is Kentucky considered a community property state?
Kansas is not a community property state. There's a list of community property states on the About.com Web site. There's also a discussion of community property and how it relates to reporting income from the IRS in Publication 555.

Can a spouse in Texas have his or hers wages garnished by the IRS for a tax lien that the spouse incured before the marriage?
Yes. Texas is a community property state, and all income earned by both spouses is property of the community. Because of this, technically your wages are also his wages and the IRS can go after them.
If you have a tax lien on your home can the IRS take your husbands retirement check?

In Georgia if I marry a man that owes the IRS money can I be liable?
No. Georgia is not a community property state, therefore you cannot be held liable. However, any assets that you hold jointly with your husband may be subject to IRS enforcement actions.
If you marry a man with previous IRS debt are you also responsible; can the IRS or any other debtor of his put a lien on your property in your name only?
No, his tax problems belong to him alone, nor can any property belonging solely to you can be seized/attached by any of his creditors. An exception would be if you live in a Community Property State - AZ, CA, ID, LA, NV, NM, TX, WA, and WI. Under community property rules, the IRS typically will not be able to pursue any assets that are under your name only and were acquired before the marriage. However, they may have a claim to your income because income is property of the marital community. The exact rules vary greatly from state to state, and I would recommend seeking legal advice for your particular situation to make sure.
If the deceased owed the IRS can the IRS garnish the surviving widow SS survivor benefits?
Generaly not unless there is a jointly filed return. There are special circumstances ie. community property states and transfers of estate property to the surviving spouse.

Does the IRS claim property you have inherited when they have frozen a bank account?
When you inherit property, it becomes your property. The IRS will attach liens or garnishments on such property, including inheritances.
The mortgage is in your wifes name can the IRS take it?
What's more important is who the real estate is deeded to. If you are neither on the mortgage nor the deed, then the IRS would have a tough time taking it. An exception to this is if you live in a community property state, in which case you would automatically own half of the house regardless. Also, I am assuming that your wife is not liable for the taxes.
Can IRS levy your personal bank account for previous taxes owed in California by new husband?
That California is a community property state, so if the account in question is anything other than very specifically maintained as "sole & seperate" property...it's essentially all his and yours by law, you've got a problem.
