Episode 14: What to Watch Out For If You Are Divorcing a Tax Deadbeat.

In this episode, I discuss what you need to think about if you are divorcing a tax deadbeat. I am specifically referring to a soon to be ex-spouse who hasn't filed his taxes, paid his taxes or maybe fibbed just a little on his taxes. 

My intention is to keep you out of as much trouble as possible. As you find out, that is not always possible (especially if you filled a joint return with that tax scofflaw) so then the goal becomes to mitigate it as much as possible.

• What is joint and several liability?
• Should you file a joint tax return before or during divorce?
• We haven't filed our taxes for awhile, what should we do?
• Can I get out of being held jointly liable with my spouse?
• What if we both have some tax skeletons in our closet (omitted income or exaggerated deductions)?

I hope you enjoy this episode and let me know if you have any questions or show ideas.
