ljwalters Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Client filled out estimates based on last years return for the FAFSA application. Husband was going to bring final numbers to me today. (Sch C). Last night his truck burned up. (some people will do anything HaHa) Wife is up set and wants to do MFS to get a return in for the FAFSA people. They are seperted but her income is only 900 from daycare. ( he pays for every thing) Would you do the MFS (and amend later to include husbands income). Feeling pressured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack from Ohio Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 I have a sign that I put up for certain clients.... "Failure to plan on your part, does not create an emergency situation on mine." Truck burning up that just "happened to have all the tax information in it" smells funny.

jainen Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 >>he pays for every thing<< Although they live apart, they have obviously not ended the relationship. Under California community property law she still must report half of his income. But tell her not to worry--just call the school financial aid office in the morning. They can't verify the tax return with IRS until August anyway, so it isn't that big a deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
