No, car loan interest cannot be claimed when filing personal income taxes.

One can, however, deduct some costs of upkeep (or mileage) if the individual can demonstrate that the car was used for business and that they were not reimbursed for such usage.

If you file separate, the children you have can only be claimed by one spuse, but the children may be split between the two returns if you choose.

Not filing for income taxes?

Not filing your income taxes will have you facing a penalty by the IRS. According to legal zoom: "Well, you end up paying a penalty on the amount you owe at 5% per month (4.5 % for not filing and 0.5% for not paying). The total penalty for failure to file and pay can eventually add up to 47.5% (22.5% late filing, 25% late payment) of the tax owed. Interest, compounded daily, is also charged on any unpaid tax from the due date of the return until the date of payment" http://www.legalzoom.com/taxes/personal-taxes/what-are-penalties

File an Extension for State Taxes Too?
