[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 523655, member: 84"] Well, I'm certainly an "injured spouse" because this couldn't be much of a bigger mess. Ummm, maybe it could, but to ME it couldn't be much a bigger mess. And I dunno if husband claimed Travis the last couple of years or not. I do know I remember arguing with him about it. Because he kept saying he couldn't, when I knew he could because we did it when katie and kayla were living with us (she had no income) and when Nichole and Aubrey were here (she also had no income, or not enough to matter). And I couldn't figure out why on earth he believed he couldn't. It didn't make sense when he'd done it before. Finally I threw up my hands and told him Fine, you wanna lose that portion of a possible refund, then go ahead. Because I couldn't convince him. I'm sitting her psyching myself up to call the IRS and request our tax forms for 2009 & 2010. I think I'll ask for 2008 just to make sure I have all I need. This one doesn't bother me too much.....I at least know he filed these and am pretty certain he doesn't owe them anything. Next comes the state, which according to the accountant includes both the state and school tax, to find out what he filed and when and how much is owed. There is a slim chance that if he didn't file.....(at least with the school part)......and I file it now because he was unemployed, I won't owe anything except late fees. Notice I said "slim". I'm not counting on it. This one downright scares me, I'll be honest. I am somewhat sure that our tax return went to pay for state.......no clue what amt that would be or which years. Then comes local. The city tax. I don't have a phone number for them so I may just do it while I pay my water bill. (same building) Then I could talk to someone in person and explain. Ok, guess I have a question. Writing this here made me think of it. Is contacting state and local going to do me any good if I don't have the income info that is on those tax forms for those previous years? Because without that.....I can't really give them much info as per income and such. Good grief, when did taxes get so confusing? Used to be just state and federal.......now it seems it's everyone and their uncle on top of it. I tell you, the more I dig into this disaster, the more I wonder just how long he was sick and I was too busy to have it register. These are areas he normally took care of and was anal retentive about......I wouldn't have thought to double check him really. It just amazes me he let it get into such a mess. Nor does it make sense. If I'd realized........it might have tipped me off that something was not quite right with him. So I'm sitting her psyching myself up wishing I had anxiety medications............and hoping that whatever they tell me doesn't become a jumbled mess of words (think Charlie Brown wha wha hwa ect ) and I can get it written down. If I keep myself calm I should be ok. [/QUOTE]
