I was married for six years to my former spouse. We lived in California the entire time we were married. Our divorce was final in 1998 and since then we have both remarried. My Ex did all of the filing of our tax returns because we had three houses in three different states and he was heavily invested. After looking over old tax returns, from my former marriage, and talking with a tax preparer about deductions taken, I have found out that my ex-spouse was cheating on our taxes and based on his history he is probably still cheating on them. My questions are:
Should I inform the IRS or should I cross my fingers they don't audit him or me?
If I do inform them can I get immunity by coming forward and disclosing the descrepancies?
I know the IRS can audit tax records up to six years unfortunately for me that will be until 2003 for me with my former spouse.
Any help in this matter is appreciated.
