Feeling so anxious this morning. H has been working on our taxes and I've been waiting for the results to do D17 college financing. So he texted me the numbers last night and I suspect something isn't right. A deduction is missing, something. Our combined income was 3k lower than last year, but adjusted income is 5k higher? It just goes back to all my hyper controlling tendencies and the dynamic of our relationship for me to have to point that out. But what am supposed to do? File incorrect taxes? So I texted back 'Thank you for doing that. I still need to get the exact car registration numbers for you. Do you want to review together before filing? Last year taxable income was 5k lower. Just not as much interest on house I guess?' I don't know how he'll read it, but it feels like 'what the hell did you screw up this time' and I really don't mean it that way! Is there any other way I could have handled this?
