Just a word of caution on the taxes I received from a friend of mine who is a CPA: If she filed first by any means and claimed any of the dependents as hers, the IRS will bounce your return and investigate.
I have no choice but to file and claim mine tomorrow so that I amy move out of the house ASAP. So I'm going to run the gammet in my situation, I have the upper hand of the court order awarding me primary caretaker, so even if my W did file already, and I'm highly confident she did, they will bounce her return and fine her up the wazzoo. I feel bad for doing it, but hey, she wanted to be single and I've been telling her how bad my checks will be effected once I have to start claiming single on my w-4 forms. NOT looking forward to that.
Anyway, 2 solid weeks of "sole custody" and all is well, just hanging with my boys and skating through life day by day. Not much else to update.
really starting to sound as if maybe, just maybe your W is starting to come around a bit, tread carefully my friend, remember it takees but a half second for 'evil W' to pop up out of no-where if she hasn't been fully shuned out by 'good w'.
