my wife refuse to jointly file tax with me

[Ebunoluwa 6,136]

There is no problem filing married but separate in regards to your status, you will not be affected.

Filing married jointly gets a bigger refund than filing separately so tell us the reason why she does not want to do so.

No, you did not get a 2 year GC because of the age gap. If you truly should have had a 10 year GC based on years of marriage

then you need to make an infopass and clarify what is going on.

If your wife is confused about how to file taxes then she needs to consult an accountant.

My wife refuse to jointly file tax with me and am holding a temporary 2yrs Gc.i will appreciate if someone can help me with the step to take in filling the tax which may not affect me in removing my conditions only me.

Not everyone benefits from filing tax jointly...though most average Americans couples would.

Did you work in 2014?

Did she work in 2014?

What is the reason she doesn't want to file the tax together?

Perhaps she doesn't understand the tax benefit?

I suspect there is more wrong with the relationship than how to file taxes

Wow...just wow.... Of course there are two sides to every relationship, and what works for one couple does not work for another, and it's not really anyone's place to criticize another person's relationship. But......now I guess I'm wondering...does she work? Do you have any idea what savings there are that would be put on the tax return?

What is the reason you put up with this abusive woman ? Have you done anything to drive her to over react like that ?

There are often 2 sides to every story.

Many people seek love overseas because they know that a US person is very aware of the rights of each person in a relationship and would bolt rather than endure such stupidity. People from other countries are usually not as aware of such and can be bullied into positions they wouldn't accept on their native soils and may not stand up for being treated like a human let alone a partner. Leave this mess.
