Those are the transcripts from that year. And I didn’t work in 2017   I didn’t start work for 1 or 2 yrs after he passed away. I am remarried now does that make a difference with anything. I was only married to him 1 month in 2016.  I don’t think I should have been reliable for any of this.   


You signed a joint return.  Under the law, you are jointly responsible for (liable) for everything on that return, and everything not on the return (whether innocent error, deliberate fraud, or something in between.)

 

You had 2 years from the notice to file the innocent spouse relief form, that would be September 2021.  I don't know if there is anything you can do about it now, but you can try.
