Did you and your husband stay at the same time for even a unmarried day after June 30, 2012? in case you probably did, you won't be able to document as Head of spouse and little ones. That leaves you with in person-friendly words 2 ideas: Married filing at the same time and Married filing one at a time. The tax preparer is about as enormous an fool as your husband is. getting waiting a knowingly fraudulent go back is a criminal act. Tax preparers are prosecuted for this each 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. many which at the instantaneous are not prosecuted are stripped of their proper to practice tax returns for everybody yet themselves, regardless of out repayment. even as this blows up, and it is going to, your husband will be held to blame for the taxes due, plus any consequences and pastime. If I were on your shoes, i'd call for a complete refund of all monies that you paid this fool tax preparer. Then flow locate an honest one to unwind the mess and practice the amended returns. oftentimes i'd allow you to be conscious of to flow again to the man who made the blunders and performance them suitable it, yet this individual is both grossly incompetent or is devious at a root aspect so could no longer be relied on to get it proper the 2d time round.

Nothing. You will just have to pay taxes based on being single. Your wife will have to file as a single also.
To get an in depth answer why don't you ask the person who handles the tax forms at your place of employment or call the IRS.

It would be illegal to do that, so if you do it and get caught, you'd end up paying any extra tax due, plus interest, plus penalties for breaking the law.
