susan_112147 | My ex husband owes back taxes he got into trouble when we were married this happened almost 20 years ago? |
he has never resolved this. Since then my parents passed away and left me an inheritance in which I used for a down payment for a house. We lived in California and I've heard that the wife could be responsible for the husbands back taxes. Do you think I should worry about losing my house? I was never involved in his buisness. |

your divorced from him. I would not worry about it. Maybe check witha lawyer and asked to get a honest answer. |

You really should consult an attorney or CPA who specializes in your particular situation, but some things to consider are.
You may have some liability for the actions of your husband while you were married. How much liability you have will depend greatly on how you filed your taxes. Jointly or separately? Has the IRS taken any action (or notified you) against you in regards to your ex-husband’s tax situation?
You also say it’s been over 20 years. Likely this is your biggest benefit as the delay in taking any action (or attempting to) against you will work in your favor. If you’ve heard nothing about your responsibility to his taxes and debts in two decades, you certainly have a great defense on why you should not be connected to it.
Again, everyone can give you their best guess or opinions. Unless someone has been in your EXACT same situation and can speak from experience, I would suggest a consultation with a lawyer and/or CPA. |

there's an inocent spouse statute that may protect you if it is needed - certain IRS form number - go to www.irs.gov and look |

There is always that possibility. The tax man has a very long reach. He needs to resolve the matter with the IRS (or State of California), negotiate a settlement and start making payments. |

Are the back taxes 20 years old? There is a statue of limitations for collecting back taxes. You may consult a tax lawyer about this but I think they only have 10 years to collect. |

A wife cannot be held liable for the seperate debts of her husband in California. The couple's community property--half of which is owned by each spouse--can be held liable for the seperate debts of the other spouse. This is a subtle but confusing and significant difference.
If the tax debt is almost 20 years old, the statute of limitations for collection should have expired unless it involves a particular tax shelter that has lingered in Tax Court for years. If that is the case and you filed a joint return, it affects you too and I'm suprised you were able to finance your home purchase.

Federal taxes must be collected within 10 years of assessment. It would appear the statute of limitations for collection has already expired, unless there were circumstances which extended the statute.
I do not practice in CA, so I am not familiar with their rules if this involves state taxes.
CA is a community property state, so it is possible that half your ex-husband's income (and consequently half the tax bill) was considered to be yours. |

I'm assuming these are income tax bills, not trust accounts like payroll taxes.
According to your post, the tax debt arose during the time you were married. You do not state whether you filed a joint return or a separate return. You also do not state whether the separate return, if there was one, included half of the community income like it was supposed to.
California takes community income and property very seriously. If he owed the money while you were married, you both owed the money (this includes pre-marital debts too!)
When you have filed since the divorce, has the IRS taken your refunds?
Since you don't have the facts, neither do we. |

does he owe from personal taxes or from his business??
if its personal and you filed jointly and were married at the time then you could be in for a call.
If it was from his business and you were not a partner or co owner then they should not bother you although I agree that you should still contact a lawyer as you would not want to lose your inheritance. Also find as many documents from that time period that support your claim that you were not involved with him as it will help strengthen your case.
and yes some things have statute of limitations however I think there may be different times for personal and business so you would need to check into that as well.
also statue of limitation starts from the date the taxes were filed so if he filed several years later you still could be in this mess if he filed 20 years ago but did not pay you are most likely off the hook. |

I agree with the first answer. Contact a lawyer to answer your question. Maybe they mean Current Wife. |

Believe me, ANYTHING can happen!
I am sure that since you are a woman (honestly) you have nothing to worry about.
turn you self into the federal Irs. (go to their office)
They will turn put you in the dead beat file for 7 years. Then it is off the books.
DO NOT go to one of those legal tax attorneys. I did. It is a total rip off.
The federal government tax dept. got beat up from the American people years ago and now the are basically nice but, the state tax people never did and they will throw you in jail for a dime. |
