<prompt> Human: My girlfriend has the IRS and the state tax division Georgia trying to collect from her. I want to add her to a bank account set up in my name and social security number. If I do that, could either the IRS or the state put a lien or levy on my account? Is there any other way this stands to hurt me?  <response>: If you add her as a joint account holder, whatever money that is in there will be subject to any legal claims.
