A first
This was the first year that we filed our taxes together. I've always filed separately because H had problems with the IRS. Last year I took him to my accountant and got everything straightened out. This year I told him to sit quiet and let me do everything. Surprisingly he did. This year I had a few charitable donations to deduct and a few other things that normally I would have done on my own taxes. H was sure that we would have to pay taxes so imagine his surprise when after she finished ( my accountant is a woman) we get back almost 8000.00. He has it spent already in his head. He was so excited about getting anything back he doesn't realize that she used my direct deposit information. We have separate accounts at different banks. So now I have to decide what to do. I'm tempted to give him only what he would have gotten back on his own and keep the difference. After all if it weren't for my deductions and great accountant he wouldn't have gotten back but a quarter of this amount. What should I do???
Normally I would say
it is ya'lls money and so take some for each of you and then use the rest for something for ya'll. However in your case the way you are treated in your home give him his share and you do what you want with yours!
Well
If he is already thinking of what he is going to spend it on, then just deposit his portion from his taxes, and keep the rest in your account.
We just did ours and I received a deduction from my 2 bio kids. He does not get anything from his son, my ss
Well I m gettin back 5,800 and he is getting back 1600.
We are behind on our mortgage but so that will help, I would love to put some away for the kids, but already he is walking around screaming, thats not your money we need to pay bills.
I aqree with that, but dame why does every last cent have to be spent. If it wasnt for my kids we wouldnt even have that money.
If its fair or not I dont know,
I feel the same pill in my throat...
H has been on me about the
H has been on me about the money and I said after I buy another car and redo the bathroom maybe we'll talk about it. I don't think it's right that he wants to spend it on sd when we have other more important things to use it for. If he keeps up with the nagging I might go on a cruise instead. I'd love to go somewhere warm right now. Here it's 15 outside and 5 with the wind chill. I HATE cold weather!!!!!
seperate it!!!!!!!!!
No way would i go for that. It sounds like mostly its your money. My Dh and I file seperate. He gets the deducts for skids and spends his money as he wants. I do the same..although i usually owe cus i do alot of side work. But i feel it should be seperate.
