I have just been wondering if you guys have filed your taxes with your husband's. This year I filed married jointly and they witheld my refund for some debt owed by my husband. i have filled out the appropriate form to get it back which they said could take up to 6 months. I was just curious on what others are going through.

Nah, this year I didnt because his taxes from 2 years ago were messed up and are still being worked on. I didnt want mine to get messed up this year and me not get anything back cause of it. So I figured next year when everything is wroked out with his then I will. Hopefully everything works out okay, good luck...

i filed with him because he was home six months out of the year I hope everything work out. Paula

You can file with him regardless of where he is...I did

If he owes back child support or student loans...DON'T file with him and DON'T claim him as a dependant!!! But, if you're going to file "jointly", do it under the "innocent spouse" act.

that sucks im sorry to hear that..... make sure you know the story before you file

you can be excused from his debts with a form and then you file it with your other forms...go to irs.gov to get it. I think it is number 857..called Innocent Spouse...I have to look it up, I forget where I put my info...I have debt and wondered about this for my husband...

Yeah i have actually filed that form. its the injured spouse form. but they say its going to take up to 6 months. i am sure i'll get my refund back, its just that i have to wait for it. I have several copies of his credit report but this stuff wasnt up there. I called to get information about it, but of course they wont tell me nothing about it.
