Our divorce papers say to file separately......but if we WANT to file together can we?

No, since your divorce is final you cannot file jointly. Your only choices are single or head of household if you have children living in your home for over six months in 2006.

No....filing status is established on the last day of the tax year, December 31. If your divorce was final on December 31 or any time before that, then you are considered single for the entire year.

You must file as single (or head of household if that applies). You may not file married, either jointly or separately. Your marital status on the last day of the tax year determines how you file.

As long as you and him were residing in the same home for 6 months out of the year yes you can, I think when the divorce papers said to file separately they said it so that neither of you can screw the other one when your refund comes back, if i were you i would just make sure that your and his name both were stated on any refund that is given, but it is not tax fraud or against the law if you file together.

No you wont return on college funds. you're able to basically be to blame for any cost appreciation on the valuables from while she lived there. If it fairly is nicely well worth the comparable as once you have been married then she shouldn't get something. yet alimony, newborn help.

You can filed either together or separately.

You need to check your state law. You can for your Federal return but your state can vary.
