QUESTION ABOUT FILING INCOME TAX?

Ok, My fiance owes alot of income in tyro loans and in the state of Tennessee(it might be all over the US)they have been receiving his income taxation earnings until it is paid for. So my subject is if we were to get tied together how could I keep mine? We will additionally be carrying the initial kid in Feb will which start it too? Thanks Alot for any assistance or advice!!
I’m wakeful about not removing a kid taxation credit until it is innate but I’m only observant if we were tied together and have a kid can we record seperately
I theory I’m unequivocally asking can we record seperately and I still get the income which I routinely would.

The two of you would have to file separately for you to keep the tax dollars that are rightfully yours. Usually this is not a good idea since couples who file jointly get a better overall return, but yours is a special case. As for your child, you’re not going to get any tax credit until the child is born, so it won’t affect the tax return you file next year.

You should check the box that says married but filing separate returns.

No way around it, you’ll have to file separate returns. I’d put the child on your return.

Why doens’t he just do the right thing and start making payments on his own?

You could file a joint return to get all the benefits of that status, but file an Injured Spouse Claim form with your return.

The IRS will split any joint deductions and credits based on who earned the income, deductions and exemptions and calculate how much of the joint refund is due to you and how much will go to pay the back student loans.

The form is 8379

Mark’s answer is right on, but in your “add-onns” you ask if you’ll still get the money that you normally would”.

It depends on what you mean by “normally”. If normal to you includes EIC, no, you will not get that on an MFS return. Also, if you live in a community property state, you will get a portion of the refund, but IRS will figure that and it’s hard to predict without actual figures.
