Income Tax

[RitaM]

I live in California and this is my first tax season since I re-married. My new husband has some unpaid tax issues from his previous marriage. If we file a joint tax return this year, will it make me a party of his previous issues?

To file "married filing separately" is quite a financial burden on me.

You have no problem. The joint return this year will have no effect on liablity for past returns.
