Can he get all the Tax refund

What is the name of your state? IL
I'm not employed and have two children, my husband thinks that all the money that he gets for the tax refund is his because he worked on it not me . This year it was about 6 thousand dollars just because he included the kids ( I work the whole day and night with them, to feed them and change their diappers) and I don't see any penny out of it, is there any legal advice for that, Also he doesn't let me see the return and I don't know if he filed the tax for me too (joint or head of household) because I didn't sign any paper, some told me that it 's a fraud if he entered my name without me knowing it.
please help me because he is very cheap, and I didn't see a penny from him since we got married (about 4 years)What is the name of your state?

Fortunately, the law is not so nosy as to dictate how married couples should divide their money.

He could not have filed Head of Household. His only choices were married filing separately or married filing jointly. Its highly unlikely that he could have received a 6k refund if he filed married filing separately. If he filed married filing jointly, and you didn't sign the return, then he also has a problem.

If he filed electronically and neither one signed the return, what problem does he have???

If he filed electronically he still had to file a 8453-OL with a signature verification. That is his problem. He can't just file for her without her knowledge or acceptance.

He's YOUR husband. Have you tried TALKING to him about where he planned to earmark the refund? How do you know that there is not something urgent in the household budget that the refund needs to cover? Has he always handled the money?

I know I use my refund to pay the remaining installments of my property taxes, for example. I don't spend the refund on myself, it always goes back into the house (furnace, taxes, new garage door) whatever the house needs that year.

Right on the mark nextwife. OP is paranoid and there is no legal advice for that.

Well, I'm not sure what BENEFIT the poster obtains by establishing that she can get her sole means of support convicted for fraud if he has filed for her? How would this HELP her?

Hubby and I are married twelve years. A marriage requires back and forth communication. If there is no seperation or divorce, then how much of the refund poster should "get" in her hands is a private matter between them, and not a LEGAL issue for these boards. She needs to COMMUNICATE with her hubby.

Exactly....both spouses should have equal access to the family funds and should be participating in the decision making regarding where those funds go. That certainly doesn't appear to be the case here. This appears to be the case of joint tax returns being filed without knowledge or disclosure to the other spouse....and that is a SERIOUS no-no.

Thanks nextwife, I wrote in the post that he is VERYCHEAP I'm still with him only because I couldn't find a job and finish this relationship, I love him but it's too much for me last year we had only one child and he received $4K for the tax refund, you know what he did? he had his vacation for one month and traveled by him self to Morocco. and this time when I spoke to him about the tax refund and we should share it or at least I should have a portion of it since I'm not working and nothing from him, he said no he has plans for it and I shouldn't take a penny for it and He doesn't care ( right away he went to file the tax that early ).
his plans : He is crazy about money, we rent apt for 650 we bearly have furniture he buy one pair of clothes for the kids every maybe six months or so if I didn't have my relatives who bring a lot of gifts for the kids I don't know what would happen ( he worries when relatives come for visit because I spend food on them that means he needs to spend money for grocery soon than a month or 2)
Sorry I didn't mean to tell about my story in details but just to tell you that you can't talk to him when it comes to money.
if there is a way I can get him about this tax refund I would really go for it because I've had it with him.

HELP

Something's changed. Most likely for the better.
