Actually, if you were together for more than six months of the year, legally he has the right to claim you (if in fact you were his dependant at that time).
Of course, when you go to file, they will tell you if he claimed you.

HERES THE RIGHT ANSWER: If you lived together for any portion of this year, or your income could've been combined for any portion of this year you may be claimed on his taxes. Generally, he has not claimed you, because after you file for divorce you usually claim one less. If he is filing married still than that is okay until the divorce is final, that isn't including you. If he is claiming married one, that could mean he is claiming himself as a dependent, If he is claiming married two and you have no children, he is claiming you. This can be adjusted at the time the taxes are filed, and he can make up the difference then. What you should be more worried about, and ask him about is fiscal year 2008, if you are divorced at that time, then he should not claim you. If he is too busy to be worrying about w-4's at this time he can make it up when he files. But best to check with him and make sure he has made the change. Are you claiming him? And are you going to file jointly or seperately? Theres more than meets the eye with this question.

It's October. You file taxes in April for last year's income. So when you say you want to know if he claimed, past tense, I have to assume you mean that you filed together for tax year 2005, and you want to know what he filed for tax year 2006. Since you did not sign the form this year, for the 2006 tax year, then I'll assume you either had a temporary court order that told you to file separately, or you don't have a job where income taxes are due.
So, call the IRS and ask them to search based on your social security number and tell you if anyone claimed you for 2006.

He won't "claim you" at all. If on 12/31 you're divorced you'll each file single or head of household (depending on if there are children and how long during the year you lived apart, and where they lived). If your divorce is NOT final then you'll each file Married Filing Separately or you can file jointly. Now you can even split the direct deposit of a refund (or have it sent to one of your attorney's offices)
If you are referring to what he has withheld from his wages, that is his problem.
Edit: (Pet Peeve Alert!) With spouses one doesn't CLAIM the other as a dependent. They either file jointly and claim 2 personal exemptions or each person files their own return (if necessary based on income) and has their own personal exemption. You "claim" dependents - children, etc. Not spouses. I apologize it sounds so picky but there is really, actually, and legally a difference. Thanks for indulging me!

First call the IRS (number in phone book) and ask them how are you legally suppose to file. You can also look in front of the tax booklet and see how you should file. If he can claim you than he will need your signature on the return and need you to sign any refund checks. Also this all should of been put in your divorce papers. Good Luck

If he has no longer paid taxes in years, that exhibits to me that he's not fiscally to blame. in case you enable him carry onto the vehicle, the probable outcome is that he will pay you again for neither the organization nor the vehicle. on condition that there are significant sources in touch, I recommend you get a lawyer. except outright forgiving him each and every of the debt, this may be the most painless direction for you, and certain the most inexpensive. I foresee a lengthy, psychologically draining warfare to get him to do some thing after the divorce. once you're in a community property state, he would own 0.5 the vehicle, besides. you fairly go with a courtroom to divide up each and everything. a attainable answer is that the vehicle in simple terms receives offered, and the proceeds are divided between you. Or each and every of the proceeds ought to bypass to him, in replace for his fairness contained in the organization. Or if the organization has detrimental fairness, then perchance each and every of the proceeds ought to bypass to you, in delight of his percentage of the debt.

You file as single or a head of household (whatever applies to you) and whatever he files, it's his own problem because if he lies and gets caught, he will pay the fine.
If at the end of the year you are already divorced, then you don't file as married filing seperately.

You talk to him in a civil manner and ask what his preference is reminding him that you get better tax breaks if you file one more year jointly. Do the figuring both ways and see how you come out better.
Good Luck

Did you live with him? He can't claim you this yr. He might have claimed you in 06. When you go to do your taxes it will be married file separate. You will claim your self. If he claims you that's between him and the IRS.

If you didn't live with him during the year he can't claim you, but I would check with your tax preparer before you take my advice. If he did claim you when he wasn't suppose to he could get in trouble for it.
