Injured Spouse During Divorce I can file as an injured spouse after my soon to be ex wife's student loans took every bit of our tax returns. The issue is, in order to cash the check when it comes, she is going to have to sign it as well from what I understand. She did not work at all last year, and without getting personal, she didn't work around the house at all either. I don't feel she is entitled to half of the return, but I know if I mention this to her that is exactly what she will demand if she is going to sign the check so it can be cashed.
My questions are 1) how long do I have after filing a return to amend it with the injured spouse form? 2) If I wait until after my divorce is final to send in the form will that make a difference? ( I noticed there is a check box I can select if we are legally divorced or separated )
Thank You in advance for your assistance. |
