What are some of the things that you are able to claim on your tax return?

Question

- Any other expenses, my husband doesn't work he only get's SSI because he is disbled but he owes the IRS a large amount of money should i include him as my dependent?

Answer 1

A spouse can't be a dependent. If you file joint, you'd get an exemption for each of you, but then any refund you have coming would be grabbed for his debt. You could probably get the part of the refund that's due to YOUR earnings and withholding back by filing an injured spouse form, but that could take time.

If you file as married filing separately, it's likely to cost you extra taxes.

Your best bet is to adjust your W-4 with your employer so you don't have a refund coming next year. If there's no refund, there's nothing for the IRS to grab.

I realize that doesn't help for the return for 2006. Injured spouse form could help though.

Answer 2

There are to many factors to take into account before answering your question with any degree of certainty... Get Turbo Tax or consult a tax professional. I can assure you, however, that if you file married filing jointly and your husband owes back taxes to the IRS your chances of seen any type of refund are nil to Zero. Your refund will be deflected to pay his debt... The IRS sees your refund as community property... Goes without saying: check a person's financial affairs before marring him/her...more so in a community property state. consult a tax professional for further details...

Answer 3

Have a tax professional calculate your tax the various ways to see which is best for you. And discuss the issue of owed back taxes as well. Good luck.
