Married, filing separately unless your divorce is final by Dec. 31 of course. I'm getting tax help this year...my taxes will be a MESS with NO settlement yet but a huge tax bill because of capital gains tax since the farm was sold. I'll be filing for an extension most likely...lovely.

We are married filing jointly and worked out the division of the return we each receive with the mediator. No finalized agreement yet either but since we wont have filed this year it's what the mediator recommended.

You can file jointly or separately. Since you are not yet divorced the government recognizes you as a couple.

We're going to file jointly, but that's to her benefit, and then she wants part of MY refund. My accountant says it's MY refund, I pay HER tax shortfall.

He said if we were to file separately we'd have a -10K swing with our current situation.

My divorce will be final in 2008 but my lawyer says we may be able to file jointly for 2008, I'm assuming then that would be it.

Until your divorced your still married and you have to file as such, filing jionly will net the most money for you guys but if you feel that your stbx won't be fair (50/50) either have the check delivered to you or file married but seperately.

ashew - If you put the profit of the farm into another property with in a period of time (don't remeber what that was off hand) you can aviod the gains taxes all together (at least houses are like that).

    When nobody is interested, aloneness is the only path available. Online if you don't look like, or are, a celebrity or model, forget it. Time passes but nothing changes.
