Can a husband sign the wife name on tax return or any other documents without her permission?

Not unless you have executed a Power of Attorney naming her as your attorney in fact.
Does a wife need a power of attorney for her elderly husband?
No, not unless you executed a POA appointing your wife as your attorney in fact. Marriage does not confer all the rights conferred by a power of attorney. A POA gives your agent widespread authority to act on your behalf in most legal matters excepting your will. Your spouse can manage your joint accounts and jointly owned personal property. However, simply being your spouse does not give the authority to manage your solely owned property nor any interest you have in real property.
My spouse has been determined to be incapacitated and has no power of attorney. How do I proceed to manage the household business?
Simply go to court and file a petition for power of attorney stating your wife's incapacity and showing documentation to that effect. Otherwise consult and attorney and he/she can file for you.

Can a husband give Power of Attorney to his wife to do financial transaction and must the wife sign the POA also?
In most states a Power of Attorney is executed by the principal and does not need to be signed by the attorney-in-fact to be valid. It may need to be witnessed and notarized depending on the state. In some states the AIF is required to sign. You can check the rules in your state at the link provided below.

Who is responsible for your credit card debt after your death and your spouse has given you power of attorney due to dementia?
Your estate will be responsible. Indirectly, you wife will either have to pay it or get a smaller inheritance.
If the spouse dies does the money in the joint checking account go to the surviving spouse or to the spouse and surviving children of the decedent?
In community property states, absent a will or beneficiary designation different(and even this might not be enforceable if the wife did not sign). Everything goes to the surviving spouse. Hopefully she likes the children.I am not an attorney but I did go to a Holiday Inn Express today.
