Need some advice.....first off what is a STBX?
Anyway, i still live with my husband(for the lease) and I'm anticipating my move in June (when the lese ends) but today my issue is with filing taxes. Every year since we have gotten married, I have had to file an injured spouse form (which prevents his child support requirements from affecting MY return) this usually makes my return delayed by 8 weeks or so.
This year I would like to not file WITH him, for reasons of needing my money as a down payment on an apt and the fact that his gets eaten away every year anyway, but I believe that with the kids, I cannot file married filing separately or I won't get the child tax credit?
Has anyone gone through a similar situation? Maybe not w/ the injured but with filing sep. and recieving your max. possible?
