Thank you. After 3 years the IRS cannot complain?
Thanks,

The statute of limitation is 3 years (or sometimes 6 years) from the date you file your return. If you never file a return, the statute of limitations never starts, and the IRS can come after you forever.
But that's not what happened here. You did file a joint return with your spouse. That should be indicated in your spouse's online account even if there was a mistake with your name that keeps it from showing up in your account. If the IRS ever sent you a notice of deficiency because they think you didn't file, you just have to point them to your joint return with your spouse.
