What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Please anyone share your knowledge and help me to educate to do right thing.
I left house June/2009 and filed divorce on same day. Divorce has not finalized yet. We have 2 minor children and own a house together. (stbx lives that house and pay mortgage and property tax) I am a custodial parent.
We filed tax for 2009 Married Filing Joint last year and he gave me 25% of the refund at last. He insisted filing separately and claim both of children this year, too. (tax for 2010) But now he wants to file married joint.
My question is : Do I have right to get some refund for my portion, if he file
married joint ?
If so, what % is reasonable to ask ?
* If I file separately and claim both of children on my tax, my refund willl be about $ 550 according Turbo Tax and H&R Block.
Any answer will be helpful, thank you very much for your time.
