We present a detailed analysis of nuclear effects in inclusive electron scattering from polarized ³He nuclei for polarization asymmetries, structure functions and their moments, both in the nucleon resonance and deep-inelastic regions. We compare the results of calculations within the weak binding approximation at finite Q² with the effective polarization ansatz often used in experimental data analyses, and explore the impact of Δ components in the nuclear wave function and nucleon off-shell corrections on extractions of the free neutron structure. Using the same framework we also make predictions for the Q² dependence of quasielastic scattering from polarized ³He, data on which can be used to constrain the spin-dependent nuclear smearing functions in ³He.
