I am legally separated from my wife and have full custody of the children. How do I file my taxes this year? If your wife didn't live in your household at any time during the last six months of the year, from the info in your question you'd probably be eligible to file as head of household, which would be much more favorable taxwise than married filing separately. If she did live there at any time since July 1, then your choices are married filing separately or married filing joint. Filing separately, you lose money on some things like child tax credit and any child care expenses if you have them. Filing joint might be an option if you're on reasonably good terms, but if not, could have its own problems. Good luck. Sounds like you've got your hands full. claim your kids on your tax return.. best consult with a tax expert on this one.... Married filing seperate In crayon If you are not yet legally DIVORCED, only SEPARATED, you should file as "married, filing separately". If you are legally divorced, you should file as single, with dependants (your kids). married, filing seperately, and claim the kids as deductions. (assuming you pay more than half the children's expenses.) |
