Can a tax refund be put in my husbands bank account even though I'm not on it? |
My husband and I are seperated. We still filed married filing jointly. The tax refund was supposed to be sent to our home address but I found out he told the guy who prepared the taxes to have it directly deposited into his personal bank acct. Can he do this? you had to sign the tax return if you filed jointly Yes he can. And he did. The IRS will take action if notified about this. The names of both parties have to be on the account for it to be deposited therein. Form 3949A can be used to report this falsification to the IRS so they can deal with it. If you signed the form that directed that the refund be deposited to a specific account then the money goes to that account. It could have been sent to my account and the IRS could care less if both of you sign the proper form to direct it to that account. Perhaps next year you could have it sent to my account. Thanks in advance! Yes. And the paper you had to sign to file the joint return would have showed this. Probably better to take it up with the domestic relations court, if you have a separation agreement or support order. I'm wondering if the previous poster has experience with this? It's not clear there's a violation of any internal revenue law here. I'd like to hear more about anyone's experience with such matters. If proper procedures were not followed, you did not knowingly sign a document giving permission for the deposit to be made in your husband's account, or your husband or the tax preparer misled you, you may have a cause of action against them. |
