 When I have problems, I just went through where I was in the hospital, and he had to take care of my bills, but I had to sign all the checks. So I want him to do it. He is telling me that he is having some issues coming down the road with the IRS. Will the IRS go after me if I put him on my account? No, two things. Number one, you're handling a right by having him as a signatory, not as an owner.
