Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Missouri

Re: Student loan collections

My very first response to your question was "Who are 'they'? You never tell the reader who is collecting payments, demanding tax returns and so on. Speaking very generally, you should refer to the exact terms provided in the promissory note, student loan application, or other legal documents which pertain to your husband's loan. I suspect that he may have defaulted on his repayment obligations and the lender or some assignee of the lender is now attempting to negotiate/dictate new repayment terms. Your individual income tax returns would not seem to be pertinent, unless your husband and you filed joint returns and therefore your returns are his only returns. Still, it is not clear at all from the very limited information contained in your question who is demanding the tax returns or why. I would suggest that you contact an attorney in your area in person and arrange for a consultation. Please be sure to take all pertinent documents with you so that the attorney will be able to provide some assistance. Good luck.
