    Can they keep our tax return?
    Hello!
    I was married 3/16/08 and I owe the IRS $ for student loans. On top of that, I have not filed taxes for 5 or 6 years I don't think I owe much $ for taxes since I never really made more than 25,000 in any year. I do however owe about 20k in student loans that have not been paid in over 5 years. My husband and I have 2 children and rent a home. Now that we are married, should he file the same as last year... single with 2 children. I just didn't file. Now that we are married should he claim me being that I have had less than 5k of income in the past year due to having a baby and then being laid off (while on maternity leave). If he claims me will they with hold his return since I owe. If he files single w/2children can they still find out we are married and take his return?? Oohh yeah! Do you know any good tax people? I think that our situation is beyond H&R Block lol!

    He, or actually both of you, should file as Married Filing Jointly. No need to play games because you didn't file the last few years. If the IRS comes after you, they'll come after you, not him.
