But in the end she had a responsibility to make sure that her taxes were paid. While I will concede that it is possible, I find it difficult to believe that she did not know they were not paying their SS taxes. | |
| Jan 6, 2012 at 16:24 | comment | added | JohnFx♦ | I think the OP was implying that the mother's spouse was doing the shenanigans by evading taxes, possibly without her knowledge. It isn't that uncommon for a non-working spouse to leave the finances up to the working spouse. If that is the case I'm at least somewhat sympathetic. | |
