Can I Put Spouses Check In My Name Income Tax Question

My husband is caring for my aunt and is paid from her bank account.

Can I have the checks made out to me so he doesn't spend it all at the bar?

If yes, how do we claim it on our taxes when filing?

We live in Michigan and have one child, he has another child from a previous relationship. Thank you.

Can Spouse's Taxes Be Garnished For Student Loan Default?

I am currently a stay at home mom for my 2 children from a previous marriage. I intend to continue to stay home for the next several years. I have a student loan that is in default. My boyfriend and I have been talking about marriage and we were wondering, can his taxes be garnished for my student loan default? We want him to be able to claim head of household and to claim the children as dependents but are concerned that the government can garnish the tax returns for the loan, even though I will have no income to claim since I am not working. Is there any way when we do marry, that he can claim head of household and the children as dependents without having his taxes garnished?

Deceased Tax Return
by: Stephanie

If you normally file your sisters income tax return every year and she passed away in April 2011, you will still file one last Deceased Tax Return for the 2011 tax year to be filed by April 15, 2012. Sorry about your loss.

My spouse and I have lived in Texas for many years. She passed away 4/27/11 and at that time still had a gambling tax debt of $15,000 that had not been paid off. Am I now responsible for her gambling tax debt along with my own gambling tax debt of $5,000?

Does the Alien Wife Need to File or be Included in my Return?

I have a German wife who has always been a housewife with no income. I run a one-man tiny business. I have always filed "Married filing jointly". Is it possible to just leave her out of the return as she has no income? Or must it be "Married filing Separately"?

Husbands Income Paid To Widow


(Dallas, Texas)

My husband worked for a company for 30 years. He passed away 12-25-08. He was a salesman for the company and was paid commission. The company paid him his commission on a 3 month delay. That being said, when he died in 12-08, his final 3 months of pay was divided into January, February and March and was automatically deposited into our account.

The company never sent me any paperwork ... W-2 form, etc. Last week I received an IRS statement, stating the company put his earnings on a 1099 form and filed it under my social security number. Is this correct? I know that his salary needs to be filed now, even though no forms were sent, but on MY social security number.

In checking further, I think the company also filed a W-2 form on him. Kind of seems like a double dip here. Now they are saying the 1099 is correct, and have sent in a W-2 correction, but again, no records.

Any advice.

In Texas, spousal support is tax deductable (child support is not).

Spousal Income Tax Relief

by Tom

Spousal Income Tax Relief

Spousal Income Tax Relief

I am self employed and I have always done my income taxes with Turbo Tax and filed joint returns. We were audited and the IRS denied portions related to my business.

I am divorced now and being that it was my business section that has caused the income tax debt, is it possible to get my ex wife released from the liability?

Thank you, Tomm

Innocent Spouse Income Tax Relief
by: Stephanie

Thank you for your bookkeeping inquiry regarding Spousal Income Tax Relief.

There are three types of income tax spousal relief from the liability of a joint tax return:

1) Innocent Spouse Income Tax Relief provides you relief from additional tax you owe if your current spouse or ex failed to report income, reported income improperly or claimed improper deductions or credits.

2) Separation of Liability Income Tax Relief allows for the separate allocation of additional tax owed between you and your ex when an item wasn't reported properly on a joint return as allocated by income.

3) Equitable Income Tax Relief may apply when you don't qualify for innocent spouse relief or separation of liability relief for something not reported properly on a joint return and generally attributable to your spouse. You may also qualify if the amount of tax reported is correct but the tax wasn't paid.

Note: You have no more than 2 years after the date the IRS first attempted to collect the income tax, to request innocent spouse income tax relief or separation of liability income tax relief.

It sounds like your ex would qualify for Innocent Spouse income tax Relief as long as:

A) You Filed a joint return.

B) You establish that at the time your ex signed the joint return your ex didn't know, and had no reason to know, that there was an understatement of income tax.

c) Taking into account all the facts and circumstances, it would be unfair to hold your ex liable for the understatement of income tax.
