tax transcript and tax extension

[Nubby 0]

hi all, i have a question, now that im gathering up my tax stuff, i have this issue:

Me and my USC spouse got married in March 2009. USC submitted his taxes (for 2008) in Feb 2009 - and he was "head of household"

Then in 2010, me and USC submitted taxes (for 2009) as "married but seperate" - USC had previous taxes owing so we did it seperate so my refund wasnt going to be affected by USC's debt.

Then for this year 2011, I have submitted my taxes (for 2010) as "married but seperate" - again for the same reason as above. BUT..... now my USC Spouse has NOT submitted his taxes yet this year, instead he has applied for an "extension" on his taxes, which is confirmed and he wont be submitting his taxes till the end of the year when we actually have some money to pay for all the previous debts.

i will submit to USCIS the following as evidence:

USC 2008 transcript "head of household"

Mine and USC 2009 transcript "married but seperate"

My 2010 transcript "married but seperate"

USC copy of the extension form we submitted and the confirmation of "extension" being approved.

is this going to be a problem? do i need to explain this on the cover letter?? should i leave something out?? will this raise questions or an RFE?

thanks for everyones help!

It sounds like these materials would be good enough, even without additional explanations. other may want to chime in since i am no expert on taxes and never done any extensions

Why didn't you do joint tax for last year and 2009 as he would have got a lot more back and any owing on previous taxes the IRS would have taken it from last return.

Hi! well we didnt submit together because USC spouse owes thousands of $$ going back to before we got married... years before! and we really needed as much $$ refunded to us at the time, so we thought it best to submit married but seperate so at least my monies will come back and also because my USC spouse didnt want me to owe for his debt. really good idea at the time, but im kinda thinking we should have done the married together filing option.

Oh I understand my hubbie USC owed IRS too but we did joint and they have taken a part of to pay for 2008 which was when he was single also. But I know what you mean, we just wanted to get rid of the debt . SO it's not hanging over our heads now. We owe IRS zip lol
