You are not liable for previous taxes owed by your husband. You may file jointly and

include the form called Injured Spouse Allocation Form 8379 to avoid paying any taxes

owed by him. Or, you can file separately but your taxes of you and your husband

may be greater than filing a joint return. Check the IRS website for form 8379 or

discuss it with your tax preparer.
