He can not file as joint without telling you, given the fact that you must sign the return - therfore he can't file as joint without your consent. Did he forge your signature on the return? Also, have you filed your own tax return? What filing status did you use? If you filed on your own the IRS will catch the problem and investigate. No need for you to sue your husband.

JudyKayTee agrees: Great advice - no grounds for a lawsuit. OP simply files her return, IRS realizes the discrepancy, someone forged her signature, IRS takes over.

I notice this is posted in corporate law - are you asking about a corporate tax return?

So no problem - no harm, no foul. Your husband filed as Married Filing Jointly, which means he saved some money compared to if he filed as Married Filing Separate. There's still the issue of his filing MFJ without your consent, but honestly - what do you care? It seems to me that you have not been harmed here at all.

Then I don't know why you asked the question - of course, it would appear he forged your signature on the Return and THAT is a criminal act.

If he isn't paying child support take him back into the Court that issued the support order and force him to pay.

Causing problems for him in other areas of his life is not going to get child support for you.

This "Corporate Law" sub-forum is full of posts that have very little to do with corporate law. 90% are about employment law, HPPA, etc. I suspect that most people who use this forum wouldn't know a corporation if it bit them in the nose.
