| Question: |
|
My husband and I have been married 2 yrs. He is considering filing for bankrupcy for debts incurred prior to our marriage, including back taxes. Will a bankrupcy filed this year cover back taxes dating to 1999-2002? Will I be responsible for any of the debts as they predate our marriage? Can he file for bankrupcy alone?

Tax debt for all years prior to the bankruptcy are covered. You are not responsible for any of your spouse's debts unless you co-signed for them. He can file for bankruptcy on his own.
