What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WA
Hi there,
We are in a really strange situation. I got married in 2009, my spouse has been living with me for over 10 months now and is not employed. no income. My spouse is unable to work due to memory problems and other issues but is not under any medical care or anything. The marriage was essentially needed to save him. I don't want my kids to know we are married for lots of reasons. I have to provide tax return copies for my kid's college financial stuff. How can I do this? Can I just check "Head of household" and claim my spouse under dependents? Would it matter if I provided a different tax return copy for college? with my spouse name removed or stating I'm not married? I imagine they only care about if the numbers match for college financial aid and not if I'm married or not? I'm in a difficult position and any help regarding this would be really helpful.
Thank you
