The tacit consent rule can bind you to a joint return that you did not sign if you have a history of filing with your spouse and you did not file separate returns on your own. Your signature is authorized by implication, that is, there is âtacit consentâ to it by the history of consenting to joint returns in the past.
George Washington, our nation's first President 1789-1797, served as a Virginia Militia officer 1753-1758 and rose to the rank of Colonel.
