What i would do is got to turbotax.com and plug in all the numbers to see what filing status would work best for you all. Thats what my wife and i did because we were in doubt as to what way would be best to file: Married filing jointly or married filing seperately. You dont even really have to file through them and it will still give you a pretty accurate figure as to what you will actually get

Well, hopefully you stay married, keep each other happy and have kids. Legally it allows you to file your taxes together. If you put single on your W4 (the witholding form for your employer) it will withhold more taxes, and then when you file your taxes together, you have a good chance for a nice sized refund.

Go to court.  If your wife is healthy and able to work you have a good chance of getting the amount you pay significantly lowered.  These are different times.  As a matter of fact my ex and I have joint custody but I pay him.  Because I am capable to work.  Even when I wasn't currently employed.

He can claim you as a dpendant under the right circumstances. You can just file on your own an let the IRS do their job. That's the easiest way.

No a spouse can not be a dependant on the tx return.\nEither you have to file together or separately.

If you are going to be separated then do it legally. Get a family law attorney and do it today.

I live in Ohio. No, you don't have to be legally separated to file. I've been there, and all you have to do is get an attorney. He will file for you.(After you pay the retainer fee). Depending on whether you and your spouse agree on everything, or if there is a dispute over anything, it will be filed as a disolution or a divorce. Divorce is more expensive.

Who is claiming you on their income taxes?  Who is providing your support?  If your parents are not, and no one else is, you are already independent.

He should file now and you two start out fresh.  Keep separate accounts for now and both try to build up credit.  My husband had debt from previous marriage and it will effect you also.  Anything that shows up on his credit will affect you when you try to buy a house or both signatures are needed to make a big purchase such as a car.  Doesn't matter when it occurred.  I had to pay off my husbands utility bill from a previous marriage before the electricity could be turned on in our new place.

If your wife didn't live in your household at any time during the last six months of the year, from the info in your question you'd probably be eligible to file as head of household, which would be much more favorable taxwise than married filing separately.\n\nIf she did live there at any time since July 1, then your choices are married filing separately or married filing joint.  Filing separately, you lose money on some things like child tax credit and any child care expenses if you have them.  Filing joint might be an option if you're on reasonably good terms, but if not, could have its own problems.\n\nGood luck.  Sounds like you've got your hands full.

If you are married, you should file as married. It is not a garauntee you will get a huge return whether you file single or married. Depends on your income and how many deductions you have and /or any dependants that you claim. If you and your spouses income is not over a certain amount combined , I think the limit is $80,000, thats together, I think you should still get a good return if you file together. Hope for a big return for you. Make sure a professional does your taxes this year since you are newly married. Go over the return after the process, and next year you should be able to see what to do and what not to do, you can do them on your on if you like.

Start here...there are several rules about states and injured spouse claims.  See what the IRS says...\n\nhttp://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=141236,00.html\n\nIf you live in a community property state, the rules are different and you might be out of luck.  There are also rules about the proportion of income betwen the two spouses and what the may be able to take.\n\n\nDid you file the forms with your taxes?  If not, sometimes it takes a while for the forms to catch up with each other.  You will eventually be compensated.\n\nDo some research on the IRS site http://www.irs.gov and see what you can find.  Call the IRS and ask.  Or consult a tak professional (they've got a good bit of free time now)

You should probably change your withholding so that it is more in line with your new situation.  If done correctly, it will end up so that you get more in your paycheck each week, but a smaller refund next year.\n\nBecause you are now married, you need to either file "married filing jointly" or "married filing separately".  It is tough to tell whether your tax will go up or down without more information, it you were going from single to married, total tax between you/spouse would probably go down.  But since it's HOH->married, it might go up.\n\nTypically, couples are better off filing jointly than separately, but that must be decided based on your circumstances.  I'd try both ways, and file whichever way gets you the lowest taxes.

It should be on your W2.  Otherwise contact the SSA.

can't you explain all this to your divorce judge?  that you are on medical retirement for a reason?  because you're medically unable to work, now?  you could give up your retirement, but what if you don't get it back?  you don't want to give it up just to get more sick.  i understand child support, but alimony seems a bit of a stretch.  i would consider a part time job, perhaps, to supplement income.  surely this would be okay.

Based on your tax question earlier and this posting.... I am thinking you may need a bit more help than a tax attorney.\nYour 34 years old..(according to your last post)... It is time to grow up...
