How do you find out if a spouse has filed a tax return?

The obvious answer is to ask your spouse. If that is not an option, have your divorce attorney ask your spouse's attorney. You can call the IRS and ask them if by any chance a joint return has been filed with your name on it, but they won't tell you if your spouse filed a separate return. If none of that works, file a separate return (married filing separately, not single). If civil relations are ever restored with your spouse, you can talk about matters and file an amended return later.


Can a spouse of a veteran be buried in Jefferson National Cemetery for free?

If a veteran chooses to be buried in a veterans cemetery, her or his spouse may be buried next to that veteran, with tombstone engraving and perpetual care provided, all at no cost to the family. Note, however, that the burial of a veteran's spouse MUST be next to the veteran. If a veteran chooses not to be buried in a veterans cemetery (the choice my father made, for example), then the spouse (in this case, my mother, who was never in the military) can not seek burial in a veterans cemetery, and certainly not for free.
