Your filing status is determined by your status at the end of the year.
The year in which your husband died is the last year you can file jointly, but only if you do not remarry in that year. For the next two years, you may be eligible to file as a Qualifying Widow with Dependent Child, which is a different status.
You can file for divorce before the court in CA and even if the judge grants you a divorce it will not be valid and if you remarry and return to the Philippines bigamy charges could be brought against. You must get an annulment of your marriage in the Philippines.
You aren't married so you cannot obtain a divorce. What you must do is file an amended tax return since you lied on the one you filed. You have committed tax fraud and you must correct it.
From the date you file, there is a 6 month law within the courts of Calif. until your divorce is final.
NO. The day that your divorce becomes final your filing status become single unless you have a qualifying dependent living with you then you could qualify for the head of household filing status.
In some countries, such as the Philipines, if you are separated for 7 years the marriage is annulled. However, in the U.S.A., you must file for divorce.
If you were married in California, you should be able to file for divorce there.
If there is no disagreement between the husband and wife you can file jointly. It would save money and time to do that. Added: Technically, there has to be a plaintiff and a defendant in all law suits. Many divorces are uncontested, however, one party or the other must be the party to actually file the divorce. In uncontested matters, this can be done pretty quickly by one party filing the paperwork, allowing the other party to sign a waiver of service, then agreeing to the terms of divorce, signing it and having one party prove the divorce up in court (I don't think all states require a court appearance for an agreed divorce, however Texas does).
No, just because you get married does not mean you have to file jointly. You can always file separately. Hope this helped.
the answer is yes, Yes mother and daughter can file bankruptcy jointly and also you and your husband will file bankruptcy jointly is still accepted as long as its not same sex marriage.
There is no time limit. If you are married during the tax year, you can file jointly.
No you can not file a joint return if you reconciled with your husband unless you remarry. Only married couples can file joint tax returns.
