I need opinions and advice on an issue - knowing H's (self-imposed) stress about money, we have the issues of taxes that needs to be dealt with pronto. I gave H my w-2 the first week of February and he said he was doing taxes again as he usually does. But I don't think he's worked on it... He finally asked for girls ss#s only about a week ago. He did say that he had started his taxes as married filing separate but had to pay over 5k... adding to the $ stress I'm sure. So I was guessing he would go with traditional married filing joint. Taxes are an issue for us this year because D17's college's are waiting for a completed fasfa.
SO, when H was home, I paid bills all year long and he did taxes. It was our arrangement. I haven't asked him once about his progress on taxes, because that's my 180 - I normally would have been in harassing mode. But now that we're in this time crunch I need to ask - any advice on how to do that the least non-threatening way? Or I thought since he's expressed how busy he is this month, if I should ask for all the papers back (he didn't give me his w2 this year anyways) and I'll get them done myself. Which I don't mind doing. But then it seems like I'd be taking control again or suggesting that he isn't capable.
Meanwhile I'm meeting with the financial office at college on Monday and can't make any decisions until we know how we're filing taxes...
