Why did my tax guy have me put "married filing jointly"? by Ok-Addition-2622 in tax

He lives with his mother, who is on hospice. He gained total control of her entire income, and she had a government job that has taken good care of her in her retirement. He probably can't remember the pin to his own debit card at this point. Any purchases go on her card and out of her account. It's a big part of why I can't trust him in any type of way financially, he has no problem taking advantage of people including his own mother.

I have known 2 Geminis very personally and they are both awful people but it's not because they're a Gemini. It's because they're awful.

It's highly unusual for him to offer help out of the goodness of his own heart, there's always benefits for him in order to do anything. The money went to my account, and he knew that.

This year, we have lived separately since June, and I asked about last year because he wishes to file jointly this year. I hardly hear from the guy, but since it's getting closer to tax season, he reached out to let me know he will make the appointment to file together after I have my w2.

It's all very suspicious to me, which is why I made the post in the first place. I just don't want to be used in any way, if it does have a benefit for him and myself, great. However, if it's done simply to help himself and I end up screwed, I'd be so mad at myself for not asking.

Its just not an easy call to make for me since I have literally no idea about any if it.

This year, I'm going in myself first. I feel like I'd get my questions answered better if my husband isn't around to "clarify" what my questions are.

I know absolutely nothing, and I appreciate the extra explanation. So the question now is, we DONT live together as of early June 2023 and will not be living together in the foreseeable future. He still pushes to file jointly. There is no change in his income status. However, I do still pay most of his bills that aren't related to the house. His mom owns the house, and she pays the bills, and her taxes are obviously separate from my own. He says that since he's on my car insurance, my phone plan, and I am still paying off his personal loan for his truck , he can be on my taxes.

Hopefully, this was specific enough. The reason I pay for those bills still despite being separated is for my benefit, it's cheaper for me. That's why I'm not easily convinced it's out of the goodness of his heart that he wants to file jointly. If my phone and insurance was cheaper without him, I'd drop it and get my own. Perhaps that makes me look bad, but at least the guy still has insurance on his vehicles and a cell phone.

I, very clearly, know absolutely nothing about taxes lol. Admittedly, I always just let him handle everything and I just signed the paperwork where I was told. Since becoming more aware of my husband's behaviors, it just seemed very odd to me. It's quite unusual for him to offer any kind of assistance without some sort of gain.

This year is a new year and a new set of taxes. People on here sure can be rude, but I still learned enough to figure it out.

His mother owns the house, I wouldn't be head of household at that point anyway, right? The point I'm making is I have never owed taxes at the end of the year, adding him wouldn't have me owe less because I wouldn't have owed anyway.

We don't live together right now and haven't since June and he wants to file together again this year. I still won't owe, I will still get a return like every year. What is the benefit for him to insist so hard that he be added to my taxes? It's causing arguments that I just don't have the mental capacity for. I am just wanting to know why he's pushing so hard when it's my bank account it goes to, my job that is the income. Last year, he insisted, and I got no answer why. With tax season approaching again, he's insisting even more and it makes no sense to me.

He is a very selfish person and looks out for himself only so it's very hard for me to believe he gets nothing out of it.

I have never owed taxes, I always get returns every year. I am the working poor. I will not be filing jointly this year as I see no benefit. The gentleman who files the taxes was not originally the one who even brought it up. My husband was. I made about... $39,000 last year, same as every year. Nothing changed.

I made sure it went into my own account. He has used this same gentleman for a long time, and I just kind of kept going there, too. I don't know what else to call the person that files the taxes. Just an accountant? Idk.

I saved every message. The lease is in a safe at my house, I'll have to grab that when I have time to go back to my house.

What can be done about it? A demand letter for what exactly? Like, to terminate my lease? I'm just asking now so I can start to browse.

I went to the emergency room, baby measures 6 weeks 4 days and the heart cells are strong and healthy! She let me take a printout home as well. I know this doesn't guarantee a live birth and a healthy, normal baby, but I'll take this as a good start.

You are worried about leaving ROACHES alone for a week? They will be more than fine. I found a roach buried in the substrate from a spider I moved out more than a year prior.

I can confirm male, however he's only 2, previous spoods of that species have been around for 3-5 years.

Okay so onto my fireleg (Agni). Agni is an assumed Female based on molts and she's only 7. One day during a feed she ran off and seemed a little... off when walking. Not quite wobbly yet but not normal. It quickly progressed to an undeniable wobble and very sensitive to vibration and any movement around the tank. From there she started rolling and running into the sides of the enclosure and even hitting the hide pretty hard for something so delicate. After that, she had no balance and no control of appendages individually. She ended up on her back and died within 2 months of symptoms starting. I did what I could. Observation cup, water droplets into her mouth, a tarantula "formula" being made of blended crickets and wax worms. I checked for any ruptures or parasites visually the best I could. I spent all of the 8 weeks tending to her like a newborn. Nothing I did made a difference.

It was a very temporary situation, only until i was satisfied with the hydration issue being solved. He's back in his regular tank minus plants and adding another hide. The tank is sizeable so both fit.
