STBX and I both get calls from our tax preparer. I am getting a nice refund and she owes. On phone she's telling me how unfair that is - not taking incomes, deductions or anything else into consideration. Being very objective, she's doing better than she should be.
Anyway....she comments that "you are living in my house" - my response "you can live in it anytime you want". There was more, but no need to go into detail. Anyway, at the end of all of it, I say "it doesn't matter, because I will pay your tax bill out of my return". She seems less than grateful and has to go to get ready for work. I said "we can dicuss later".
So many men would be so much worse about this, but I am not going to start a fight over money over less than $2000. Let's see what the next covnersation about this brings.......
If her fleeing your family has caused her to have a higher tax burden, then that's one of the consequences of her decision. Why are you paying it?
BGPs.

That's not the reason she has a higher tax burden. But, also not for poor money mgmt reasons or anything. Anyway, it's only money.
How would she have fared if you two were "Married, Filing Jointly," everything else being the same?
