What is the name of your state? FL
Hi, me and my spouse are currently separated. For the year of 2002 we agreed to file a joint Tax Return. She is an accountant so, I gave her all the documents, W2s, mortgage and etc.
Well, after our recent fight she got pissed off and now saying she will file a separate tax return and claim to be a head of household (she has a daughter from previous marriage) who live with us.
I am completely against the separate tax return (I'm in a higher tax bracket and for INS reasons).
Can she do it without my spousal agreement. Can I file as a head of household since the whole family been living together and we both were taking care of the child? What can I do to go with joint return not separate?
Her reasons are - she will get a tax refund and will have money to pay for a divorce. She needs a divorce - fine, I will even pay for it. But the return needs to be filed jointly - it's imperative.
Please give advise. Thanks.
