More details to this question:
For more than 10 years I have filed taxes separate from my husband. He now owes the IRS money, and even though he has individual bank accounts and assets, the IRS placed a lien on our joint bank account. Is that legal? If it isn't, what recourse do I have?
1 ANSWER
Yes, it is legal for them to do that. You should not have any joint accounts with your husband for as long as he has this ongoing problem.
