Does my friend have to claim his soon to be ex-wife on his tax return?

The IRS says you are either married or you're not.  So for their purposes your friend was married at the end of tax year 2005.  However that doesn't mean that he MUST claim his wife, only that the option is available.  The can each file as "Married filing Separately" and each can claim themselves.  It might be better for them to agree to file jointly since they would probably pay less tax that way.  If they aren't on speaking terms this option is most likely out.

It all sounds like small claims court is the right place.  The defendant needs to show up and present her story (and it would help if the ex-boyfriend presents his.)  If anybody ha any evidence of who owns the stuff (receipts, etc.) it would help win the case.

No, but any future earning can be levied, even his income tax refund. If the matter drags on you can also levy any property they own.

There will likely be withholding on any income (or other) distributions to the foreign partner. You can read more by following the link below.

If she has no income then she's no required to file taxes. If they were to file jointly then the tax deduction would've higher but it's certainly not required (maybe they didn't know).\n\nAnyway, it sounds to me like you are tying to stick your nose into somebody else's business. I wouldn't if I were you.

If he had her sign a 8332, then there should be no trouble.\nIf the kid didn't live with him 6 month and he got the earned income credit, then he can be in big trouble. Because he can claim his son, but there are a few credits that you had to have him live with the boy for 6 month out of the year.

Believe me IRS will let you know if somone is claiming your son other than you.  If they are not entitled to, they will have to pay back the money.  I now this from experience, my husband's ex tried to claim our kids on hers and we have custody.

She can especially if she never tells them she is the ex now.  Now if they are for children you will have a hard time with that unless you have it stated in the divorce decree that you are not responsible for medical bills.  But if she is charges doctor bills of her own, you can get those change into her name (but you will probably need to show them a copy of the divorce decree).

Yes, if they file for a tax lien

Well, you can present it to the clrks's office and they will probably take it for filing.  However, the judge is not likely to consider unless you have provide a copy to your ex spouses's attorney before filing it.  Also, you must file the document within the time deadlines for this type of hearing in order for the court to consider it.

you can only claim it if you are filling a business income tax.\n\nFor personal Income you can't.

He should speak to the Citizens Advice Bureau. As far as I know, unless the house is in joint names or she can prove a significant financial contribution to the upkeep,  she is only entitled to maintenance for the child if they are not married.

No.  You are not entitled to ANY information regarding the financial activities of anyone else.  His privacy is protected... just like yours is.

YES.....Your friend CAN file to remove conditions alone even if married less than 2 years, if she already holds a Conditional Permanent Resident card, but will need to file a Waiver of Joint Filing citing spousal abuse. \n\nYour friend will not, however, be able to file any earlier than 90 days before the expiration date of her Conditional Permanent Resident card.

Plese be more specific.\nDid your friend obtain a ITIN from the IRS?\nIf income was earned may qualify for the EIC.\nAnd if your friend does his/her tax return back to 8 years could get a nice refund.

You can use 1040 to file jointly. Since your wife is self-employed, she can use schedule C to report her income.\nYour wife can also deduct necessary and ordinary business expenses(office supply, advertisement, auto, home office ...). The difference of income and expenses is called net income which is subjected to both self-employed tax and income tax. I suggest you seek a qualified tax professional to handle your tax reurn due to your wife's self-employed status.\n\n-Zhicheng Lai Enrolled Agent

You should receive some type of documentation stating how much you received in alimony throughout the year. Then, unfortunately, you have to claim that money as income.
