Re: Getting Married, Fiancee has debt.
You are not liable for the debt of your finance' when you get married. Nevertheless, if you file a joint Income Tax Return, the IRS will keep any refund even the part that should be yours. You would then have to file to try to get the money back.
The smart thing to do is for you and your fiance' to discuss this with your tax attorney right away.
I hope this helps!
