Is a spouse protected from criminal charges for stealing spouse's identity?

Yes. Your spouse is protected under law depending on the state you live in. I know all no fault states have Spouse protection from criminal charges if your spouse misuse your identity. If your spouse stole your identity during legal seperation or during a divorce case, then yes you can file a police report and file criminal charges against your ex-spouse since you both are legally separated and not living together during the time the identity theft happened. If it happened during the time you two were together and also living together then no you can't file criminal charges against him since he is protected under the Spouse Protection Law. I suggest you hire a lawyer to clean this mess up and also figure out your rights. Source: I was not allowed to block stolen credit accounts on my credit report because my spouse was living with me at the time it happened and was responsible for the debt. Please remember to monitor your credit reports at all costs to make sure your spouse is not stealing your identity or money from you.

How can a spouse stop another spouse from using one's identity?

I would contact the credit bureaus and file a fraud alert to each of spouse credit report. (IF you file fraud alert with experian or equifax etc, they will add the alerts to all 3 credit reports). The only thing you can't do is file a police report since your spouse is protected from being criminally charged since you are legally married to your spouse and you are required to monitor your identity if your spouse steals it. Certain states do allow spouses to file criminal charges so please contact your Attorney General about possibility of filing criminal charges. 95% of the time the AG will not bother filing charges since you are legally married to your spouse and you are obligated to prevent him from using your identity to establish credit without your consent. Source: I Filed for divorce and tried to file criminal charges against my wife for using my identity to get credit cards but she obtained the credit cards while being married and not being separated which I end up taking the loss for it. You guys need to study Spouse Protection and how it works if your spouse steals your identity. This is why you want to monitor your credit reports no matter how much you trust your spouse. If the identity theft took place during a legal separation or after filing for divorce then you can file a police report and block the inquiries and credit accounts on your credit report and also being able to press criminal charges against your spouse. Reminder: Please put that fraud alert on all credit reports ASAP to stop the damage of your spouse is going to do to your credit if your spouse is living with you at this moment.


Can a spouse forge the other spouse signature on income tax returns?

The IRS uses tacit consent to determine if a taxpayer should remain on the tax return or not. Tacit consent is when you approve of something, but don't say so out loud. The IRS will use past actions to determine if you gave tacit consent for the tax return. For example for the last 10 years you have filed jointly with your spouse, in year eleven, the return was filed jointly and it is audited and there is a balance due. You protest the return and state that you never consented to the return. The fact that you filed the previous years, and there was no issue until there was an audit means you have your tacit consent for the return.
