Going to try to keep this short as possible. Say hypothetically, you're being questioned during a deposition, for a case regarding your vehicle being hit by another car at a red light. But, this being one's first time in court, one becomes very nervous and flustered, and the lawyer of the opposing party asks if your spouse makes any income, and you accidentally say yes, when they do not, and you file jointly as such. Could this cause trouble with the IRS, and if so, what do I do to prevent this, and/or correct this mistake?
