I would file separately. Just to be on the safe side. Lords knows if he owes back taxes. Sounds like your ex has something to hide if he’s always penalized all the time. This way he can’t take a credit on you.

We filed jointly because of the added value and we can still talk, I hate her but we need the money. If there is enough trust left and joint is a better option do it. as long as you are still legally married you wont get into any trouble.

Simple answer to save alot of grief down the road. File married filing separately. Otherwise you could get stuck with paying his penalty fees.

well in my opinion you should file separately because he is being stubborn and for the most part difficult.

married filing separately is the best financial gain for you personally – however – keep in mind that in most states you could have to split up the refund as well as the tax debt. It all really depends on what the divorce judgement says. If your attorney says you wont be liable then filing the married/separate will be best for you.
