If a spouse forged your name on tax papers & filed my W2 in a joint status without my permission what can i do?

We live in separate households although married. Have been separated a couple years.If a spouse forged your name on tax papers %26amp; filed my W2 in a joint status without my permission what can i do?
File your own return, as married filing separately. When the IRS asks what you're doing filing two returns, tell them this is the only one you filed. He'll be busted.





How did he get your W-2?If a spouse forged your name on tax papers %26amp; filed my W2 in a joint status without my permission what can i do?
As Judy indicated, file your own return. You should get a computer-generated ';nasty-gram'; saying that your SSN has already been used on a return and rejecting your filing. Then respond to this letter that the return you filed is the only one you authorized and signed. Your response will be assigned to a real, live person and an investigation will be opened.





Once you prove who you are and that you didn't file the first return then you ';ex'; will get a separate nasty-gram saying that his filing status has been rejected and he owes the back taxes PLUS penalties PLUS interest. If the amount of tax is sufficient, then it might also warrant an investigation by the Criminal Investigation Division at the IRS.

How did he get your W2 if you live in separate households?


Didn't you file your own return? Was your return rejected? You submit your return as paper return with your W2 and cover letter to IRS. I am Mary Doe, living at 123 Janner Drive, Town, State, Zip, and have lived there since X date, separate and apart from my spouse. Although we remain legally married, we do not cohabit, do not commingle our funds and do not file joint tax returns and I have given my spouse NO authorization to file jointly, nor have I signed any joint return.


You MUST file MFS or MFJ unless you have children and qualify to file HOH. IRS is used to resolving disputes and if you give them enough info to establish yourself, should be fine.


You need to get divorced and separate yourself legally from him.
You must file a return yourself, whether you want to or not. An attempt to file electronically will be unsuccessful. You will need to file a paper (hardcopy) return.





Additionally, you may or may not wish to:


a. Divorce and/or


b. Report your spouse to the IRS and/or the police for forging your signature.
