The answer will depend on the community property laws of your state. I suggest contacting your local IRS office for guidance in this situation. You can locate the nearest office by following this link. https://www.irs.gov/help-resources/contact-your-local-irs-office

I also recommend reviewing IRS Pub 555 for more information. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p555.pdf
