You'll want to file the appropriate tax forms to avoid having the refund that's attributable to your income intercepted. I suggest that you discuss this with an accountant once you decide that you're getting married. She's not entitled to your part of the refund.

If you own the house as tenants in common, she needs to write a Will and leave her half to you. If you own the home as joint tenants with right of survivorship, the house will pass seamlessly to you upon her passing.
