Question

i was divorced nov-07, i have no earning before or after that, my friend is supporting me so far like food and accomodation and other essentials and previously I had a joint account with x which I am not sure if its still joint or separated, as I dont use it , though I sent him a couple of thousands from my previous savings to ths same account right after my divorce , but he uses that account and there are incomes in it, am I liable to the IRS in any way for 07 or 08 taxes.

can anybody in here answer please..... i know I have to go to a professional but right now I atleast want to have a general idea.

Answer 1

In my general and unprofessional opinion - NO.

If you are filing your taxes separately (I am assuming that you are) you will only be liable for your own earnings. You may be liable for the interest acrued on your shared account - but I am guessing it is not going to be enough to make a real difference at tax time.
