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.
