I left the US Citizen I married after only 3 months. He treated me so badly that I ended up in Intensive Care - say no more. I could not return to England for quite some time as I was literally stranded. Some friends in England sent me money to survive on and I ended up in a Motel. I actually made some genuine friends there. I married him in March 2005, left him in June 2005 and came home in March 2006. We are not divorced or even legally separated - I do not have the money to pay for divorce. I did not have a green card and no SSN so obviously I could not work whilst in the US. I need to know the following if anyone could please help:-
1. Can he claim me as a dependant on his taxes.
2. Am I liable in any way for any tax he may owe, either in his personal taxes or his business taxes (he is President of an incorporated company)
I was under the impression that once someone marries in the US, then both become liable for any monies owed but perhaps I am wrong.
Thank you for any help you can give. I don't know if I posted this in the correct section.
