jmallard Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Hi Everyone, I have a client who is married to a fellow who is in prison for life. She has not divorced him because he is a retired Marine and as long as she stays married, she still gets medical and other benefits. BTW - she is diabetic, so the medical care is important. My question is, can she still file as Married Filing Jointly ? She has full power of attorney from the husband and can sign his name (I guess). Of course, he has no income. If possible, can someone explain how I do this? Thanks Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAXBILLY Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 "Of course he has no income" How can you be so sure? To answer your question, however, she can file MFJ but you would need to know more info to see if MFS would be better. taxbilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
