How long until wife responds? (1 Viewer)

[bweiser]

Emailed my wife today (separated for more than a year) to ask for her SS# since I am filing under 'Married, filing separately) for taxes.

We've exchanged 8 emails. Still no number.

O/U on how long this takes before I finally get it?

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Don't you have old tax returns saved?

 

[JHuber77]

A real FBG would memorize her SSN that way she can never leave

 

[Soulfly3]

she's on the female equivalent of this forum. Their advice?

"Start hiding SS#'s"

 

[Despyzer]

I guess it depends on why you're separated, but don't tell me because I'm not that interested.

 

[bweiser]

no. she has them.

 

[shadyridr]

Shouldnt really send ss# via email anyway

 

[belljr]

i assumed spouse knew each others ss#

 

[Fennis]

wow you are filing taxes early

FYI, married filing jointly is technically an ELECTION. You have every right to file separately on your own. No need to wait for a response unless you feel you have something to gain by waiting.

ETA: And if any screaming brats live with either of you, the custodial parent(s) should remember that head of household is an option while still married... so long as living apart the last 6 months of the year.

Yes, it asks for it... should be able to get it off prior year's tax returns if you have them.

Makes sense if you're sure you'll get a refund.

Does this filing benefit you or her? If it goes to court, it could be part of the judgment, so you both should be fair about your tax filing.

Why are you seperated?

 

[JaxBill]

Why are you seperated?

Because he's got a bad memory.

 

[CurlyNight]

Why not call H&R Block or some other like agency with your question. I'm sure this isn't uncommon with separated couples.

I know. I have somewhat complicated taxes, but we don't even have all our W-2s. I couldn't even file a 1040EZ form.

 

[Johnny Rock]

Well I'll throw out an O/U date of March 1, 2014.

I'll take the over. I'm thinking Friday, April 11, 2014. Either that or you won't get it at all.

 

[DSP]

The SS# is on the marriage license isnt it?

 

[Long Ball Larry]

could probably pay a hacker like 5 bucks and he could find it.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

seriously, married for like 20 years or something and no idea and no documents with SS# on it?

 

[Grace Under Pressure]

What are her responses in the 8 email exchange? You must have left her for being passive aggressive, she responds four times but doesn't answer the question?

 

[Wrigley]

"Start hiding SS#'s"

This sounds like a good hypothetical thread

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Why do you still refer to her as your wife?

 

[Mr. Pickles]

she's on the female equivalent of this forum.

Curly Board? zzzmanz is a regular over there.

You're never going to get it, leave it blank.

 

[FUBAR]

I think you can't file electronically unless you have the SSN for every person listed on your return.

If you can file individually, do so.

1040.com (not authoritative but I'm not doing more research) states "You can only file as single if you are unmarried or considered unmarried for the entire year. If you claim dependents as an exemption, you may be able to file as head of household, which usually results in a lower tax liability than filing as single."

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Look around. I bet you could find it on some old paperwork or something.
