In 2005, I was married and filed a joint tax return with my then-spouse in sheboygan county, WI. This past June my spouse (now ex-spouse) was found guilty of: Theft-Business Setting >$10,000, a class G felony, Wisconsin Statutes 943.20(1)(b). Because of this he filed an ammended tax return for the 2005 tax year, but did not consult me, or get my signature on the tax form. I have recieved from the IRS a letter stating that I am jointly responsible for the past due tax amount. Since we originally filed a joint tax return for 2005, I can see that the IRS would have my information for that tax year, but we were divorced in 2006. Am I responsible for this monitary amount? Do I have to sign the "Statement by Individuals or Sole Proprieters" sent to me from the IRS?
