What is the name of your state? NC
My husband and I separated in Sept without a separation agreement of any sort. He told me back then we could file our taxes together since we lived together for over 9 months. I suppect that he has filed already using a head of household statis with his son. I have been told he should not be allowed to do that due to us still being legally married.
Is there a way for me to find out if and how he filed his taxes? If I file married filing separately will the irs catch on and pentalize him? Or me? I could really use the extra monies of us filing together but it won't make or break me....although it would get me over a hump.
Thanks for the replies
