wow, new lows everyday ... i just received my tax transcripts from the IRS for our taxes (STBX and me) over the past 3 years because STBX has REFUSED to give me copies, even after calling our bootleg accountant, uh, that would be STBX's BEST FRIEND--growl!! i receive the copies anyway because write_girlie is a journalist by blood, not relation, so, uh, i know how to "dig" for information and find it despite what skank GF is advising STBX not to do or provide me with. uh, have to remember "she's smarter, more intelligent than me" (eye roll goes here).
anyhow, tax transcripts show significant refund amounts wherein only leads me to believe STBX spent alll the refund money himself on some, i'm certain, another failed project or frivilous purchase, while our family received nothing--for 2003 to the tune of more than $2,500 in refund and about the same for 2004, the year we separated (and in summer 2005, he was able to purchase his mother's home from his sister ... wonder how?? you may be asking "how could this happen" ... STBX and i did not have joint bank accounts (cause his checks bounced more than NBA basketballs, despite pulling in nearly $15K a month--such a pitiful entre-manure) AND i left alll the taxes 'n stuff up to him and best-friend accountant (i know stupid of me), but i was traveling with my job, taking care of the kids and household bills and actually believed my former spouse when he'd tell me we were not "getting a lot of money back from the returns"
i'm going to ask my attorney can i get that back, but just wondering what are y'alls thoughts; has anyone experienced this, where you got "jilted" on your "joint" returns? and did you recoop any of the dollars in the divorce settlement?

"entre-manure"! LOL I LOVE THAT! Sounds like my own STBX!
But seriously, my lawyer and I just had this discussion... this year, STBX had the tax refunds (MA, and Federal) DIRECT-DEPOSITED into the business account. He's NEVER done this before, so to me it looks kinda fishy. Although this account also has my name on it, I've never had access to the books or any info about it. Actually, earlier this year, I had the bank send me copies of this year's statements, LOL, which STBX doesn't know about! ... Anyway, I told the lawyer that I was entitled to half of the refunds (not much, but they would help), and that I want them. We will see what happens in the next few weeks... we have a pre-trail conference at the end of the month, and hopefully this can be resolved before that.

thanx Susie,
it helps knowing someone else can relate. i really checked out the tax transcripts & it looks like STBX could be facing tax evasion, just hope i'm not mixed up in that, too, since it's a "joint" return, which i seldom had anything to do with the taxes, i just turned over my W-2s and other statements and trusted that everything would be filed. but knowing how much STBX made (lot of cash transactions) and what's reported is waaay off and waaay fishy! but oh, he's soooo "happy" now in his life with skank GF, traveling, living the high life, still pulling in $15K a month, spending countless money on her while he remains disconnected from our DSs in EVERY way ... hope THIS (tax returns issue) will be the karma i've been praying for.
btw, great leg work on your end getting those bank statements (these EXs really think we're idiots don't they, knowing full well that if we can find the time, we can find ANYTHING) ...
