married filing joint: When should you consider filing “Married Filing Separate”?
- 09/15/19 09:27 AM
I represent taxpayers in Gainesville and the state of Florida who have tax issues with the IRS and Florida Department of Revenue. Couples who file jointly, become liable for the total taxes reported and any future taxes that might be assessed by the IRS. This can be an economically dangerous position to be in for some spouses. Married Filing Separate is an option that should be considered when: One spouse is self-employed and the other has a regular job with income tax withholding One spouse has large pass-due tax liabilities or student debts. The marriage is on the skids and the spouses are no longer cohabiting (0 comments)
