Are you liable for the debt of your domestic partner to the IRS if she failed to submit it?

I would say yes. You are treated as a married couple, so if the debt occurred while you were together, you are both equally liable. To the IRS this doesn't mean that you each pay half, it means whoever has the money pays it all. If either is due a refund, they will take it to apply it to the debt.

One domestic partner is legally liable for debts incurred by the other, even if the account bears only the other partner's name. Because you are potentially liable to pay any delinquent debt, a judgment could be issued against you and that would show up on your credit report.
