Find the best financial services for you at: SMARTFINANCESOLUTIONS.NET - Bankruptcy and Spouse? - Hi, <br /> I got married last summer, and I am planning to file for bankruptcy in 6 months. my wife and I don't have any joint accounts. so I would file just for myself so that she duos not have to pay for my mistakes. <br /> my question is this, if we file a joint tax return this tax season (which would help us allot with our taxes) <br /> would that be seen in court as if she needs to file too? would it seem like she is also accountable for the money that I need to pay back, since we are filing a joint tax return? <br /> or should we just pay more in taxes and be safe? -
