Are you responsible for back taxes if you marry someone who owes back taxes?
Technically, no. If you filed your own returns for those years and your returns were fine, it's your spouse's balance. It only becomes your balance if you were married and filing jointly on the year with a balance. However, your spouses ability to pay his/her tax debt is based on HOUSEHOLD income and expenses. This means that although getting married won't affect you, getting married will affect your spouse. More directly, the IRS will expect more money from him/her quicker. Hope that helps!

Is the buyer of a foreclosure home responsible for any back taxes still owed?
As a technical legal rule, the answer is that the buyer of a foreclosure home is not personally liable for back taxes that remain owed. However, the back taxes may well still serve as a lien on the property that can be foreclosed by the taxing authority. In other words, the government cannot make you pay the taxes, but they can take the property from you if the taxes are not paid. As a result, the real world answer is that the buyer of a foreclosed home is responsible for any back taxes still owed. Before you purchase foreclosed property, it is always a good idea to check the tax records to see if any back taxes are still owed. If they are, plan on paying them off as soon as possible. Unfortunately the new owner will still be responsible for the taxes. My friend got what she thought was a great deal on a split level until she got a bill for six thousand dollars back taxes. She was unable to pay so she lost the house.

How will your back taxes effect a new spouse?
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.
