I'm not a tax lawyer but I do know that two people cannot between them compromise the rights of a creditor. You may be dragged into this mess whether you like it or not. In this case I do not think you could cut off the rights of the service to back taxes in this way. But I could be wrong. I'd contact a tax attorney and find out what your rights and responsibilities are.
