If one spouse owes taxes but the other spouse doesn't, they may still be held jointly responsible for the debt. This is because the IRS can pursue both spouses for the full amount owed, regardless of who earned the income. It's important for both spouses to communicate and work together to address the tax debt to avoid any potential penalties or consequences.

What does Injured Spouse mean?

An Injured Spouse is a term used in tax law to refer to a taxpayer who is filing a joint tax return and has had their refund withheld due to the tax liabilities of their spouse. This can happen if the spouse owes back taxes, child support, or other debts. The Injured Spouse can file Form 8379 to request their portion of the tax refund, protecting it from being applied to their spouse's debts. This designation helps ensure that the innocent spouse receives their rightful refund despite the other spouse's financial issues.

No. If it is not joined then it is your money, not your spouse's(e.g if she owes too much tax she will be placed in jail.(jail=time=money) it will be her time=money not yours that will suffer the consequences..., . Only joint accounts allow the IRS/State to do this though.
