Client filed 2020 1040 MFJ. He and his spouse received a Balance Due notice from the IRS dated in December 2021. One notice was addressed to him, and a different notice was addressed to her. Everything, including the amount due is the same.
Why were there separate notices? Does that fact that he is not a U.S. Citizen while she is a U.S. citizen explain it?
The month before, the IRS sent one notice addressed to both of them.
I don't deal with non-citizens much so there is a gap in my knowledge.

Citizenship has nothing to do with it. This is standard procedure for MFJ returns. IRS sends a notice to each spouse. Less likely for one spouse to hide a tax problem from the other spouse.
