My husband and I split up after he filed our taxes. He had the marriage nullified due to a technicality. He went back and had our taxes amended to single and filing separately.
He told me that he did this because his lawyer said we had to — and that I would be getting a refund as would he — but he wanted me to hand over my portion of my refund because he said HE paid our initial tax bill (HE paid it with OUR money).
I just rolled my eyes. We ended up staying together, but not married. He told me that he filed the amendment on my behalf and sent it to the IRS with a certified copy of the annulment. He said he put HIS personal checking account on the filing so the return went directly to him.
I said that wasn’t fair and he said too bad. I never saw the amendment. He kept asking me where the refund went and accused me of circumventing it and taking the cash.
I never even saw it or got money! Come to find out — the IRS rejected it. He sent it AGAIN (on my behalf) and left the account number as his.
The IRS ended up giving HIM his amended refund but not me. He accused me of taking the money (again).
I called the IRS and they said they closed the case and the amendment would need to be resubmitted. So he got HIS refund and is mad that I haven’t gotten mine and given him the money.
I got a new accountant and told her what happened. She said that she wanted to talk to HIS (my old accountant) and find out what was up.
She did. She found out that it’s true. He filed the amendment on my behalf — and put his own bank account on there.
She is suggesting this is a crime. Is that true? If so — would you contact anyone? I’m concerned because my name is associated to this and I did NOT file the amendment…
