Best Answer

Yes.

ADDED: First answer is correct - in a general sense.... it is a question as to the extent and depth to which the other spouse will be affected. There are too many variables (not included in the question), to be any more specific. Have they always filed individual (as opposed to joint) returns? Do they own a business together? Do they own real estate together? Do they own assets together? Are their ENTIRE financial lives separate from one another or are they (like most couples) inter-twined? In the sense that to the extent the spouse's income tax returns will be VERY carefully scrutinized then, yes, there is a good possibility that the other could be affected also.

Who inherits in an intestate estate in South Africa?

It depends. If the deceased had a spouse (or if he was in a polygamous marriage) but if he had no descendants, the spouse (or spouses) will inherit the estate. If there are only descendants but no spouses, then it will be they who inherit the estate. In case there are both spouse(s) and descendants, the spouse will receive R125 000 and the balance will go to the children. Also, if there are neither descendants nor spouses, the parents (or one parent and the other descendants of that parent) will split the estate equally.


What do I do if I got married in Dec 2008 and filed single. My fafsa at school is asking me to amend my return to show married filing separately. Will this affect my return amount?

You need to amend...your married status at end of year means you MUST file either jointly with your spouse or married filing seperately...the effect of one or the other may well be beneficial, and depends on your spouses position too.


Are assets of non-filing spouse considered in bankruptcy?

No. When one spouse files for bankruptcy and the other spouse does not, they are only filing for their own personal debts and not those of the spouse. In general, the filing of bankruptcy by one spouse will not affect the other spouse's financial situation. A debt is created by contract between a debtor and a creditor - each debtor must sign the contract to be liable for payment. Therefore, the bankruptcy of one spouse does not cause the other to become bankrupt. Debts where spouses are joint and severally liable for payment will remain with the spouse who has not filed for bankruptcy.

Can a spouse collect anther spouses social security if they have not lived together in 30 years?

If the spouses are still legally married, then all of the regular rules apply - there is no restriction for living in the same household. If eligible, spousal benefits can be payable to one spouse based on the other spouse's record. The other spouse must have filed for benefits to enable this spousal benefit to be received. If the spouses in question are divorced (therefore ex-spouses), as long as they were married for at least 10 years and the spouse who is planning to file for benefits on the other spouse's record has not remarried, this is allowed as well. The other spouse must be at least 62 years of age (doesn't have to file), and all other restrictions apply. In both cases, if the spouse who is filing for benefits on the other spouse's record is younger than Full Retirement Age (66 for those born between 1943-1954), then you must file for your own benefit in addition to the spousal benefit at the same time, and both will be reduced due to early filing. The maximum amount of spousal benefit is equal to 50% of the other spouse's benefit amount at his or her Full Retirement Age.
