    Default Is a New Spouse Liable for Old Tax Debts

    I owe taxes on money I won over 15yrs ago. If I got married would my new wife now be on the hook as well for my tax debt?

    No. However, she could be impacted by any liens or levies the IRS might have in place, therefore she should not jointly own any assets or hold any financial accounts with you.
