This comes up often in divorce cases. If you were legally married during the time in which the tax is owed then more than likely both parties are equally responsible for the tax in question. You can file and "Injured Spouse Form" on your behalf and the IRs will determine who is responsible for the taxes. Most likely this will only protect your currents spouse's (if remarried) share of your current return but you can try.

Are federal tax refunds less in 2010?

Even though this was a small sample size in the last few weeks, I notice my clients in San Jose have a higher tax refund than last year. Note: The size of a federal tax refund can be affected from a number of things. Most importantly it is due to the amount of income made and amount withheld.


Do I file a tax return if I only made 8000 gross income and I'm single and 21 years old?

You're not required to file a return for your Single filing status if your 2008 income is less than $8,950 (or less than $9,350 for 2009). Even though you're not required to file, you should file if income tax was withheld from your earnings in order to receive a refund of that tax. Also, if you're eligible for certain credits (such as earned income), you should file even when not required


Can you file income taxes if you are a student?

"Can you?" or "Must you?"The answer to "can you?": Many people will file an income tax return even though the income on the return was below the filing requirement.Even if you do not have to file a return, you should file one to get a refund of any Federal Income Tax withheld.The answer to "must you": This depends upon how much income you had during the tax year (both from a job and/or from investments) and whether or not your parents claim you as a dependent. Online tax software can help you determine whether or not you are required to file a tax return.See "Sources and Related Links" below for links to additional information about two online options for filing income taxes.


Who can keep your tax refund?

If you owe back taxes, the IRS can apply the refund to prior year's taxes owed. I think if someone is in default on a student loan, then tax refund may be withheld to pay that (not positive though). The IRS dot GOV website may have more information.


If you owe the IRS can you still get a rapid refund?

I don't understand your question. A refund (rapid or otherwise) occurs when you have overpaid your taxes and the IRS owes you money. If you owe the IRS money, you will not be getting any kind of refund. If you are talking about the situation where this year's tax return shows a refund, but you still owe unpaid taxes from last year, do NOT apply for a rapid refund. The IRS will keep your refund to pay your back taxes and the rapid refund company will still charge you a fee for processing the rapid refund even though you won't be getting any refund. You've waited this long to get a refund. Even if the IRS wasn't getting your refund, is it really worth paying $100 or $200 in fees just to get your refund one week earlier? well that answer is not totally true if you owe the IRS does not mean will not get any refund back because they could have still owed it from the year before and the IRS will deduct what is owed and send out the difference

Yes, a college student who is claimed as a dependent on their parents' tax return can still receive a refund if they have earned income and file their own tax return.

However, the dependent status affects their eligibility for certain tax credits.
