That is not comingling.  Just leave it out.  You live together.  That's PLENTY of relationship evidence.

Agree 100%..😃

okay and final question whats this w7 jeanne was talking about? i was planning on filing married but filing seperate because i thought since he's not a citizen, national , or resident that i wouldn't be able to file his income? i looked it up im not really understanding what the w7 is for exactly and if it applies to me ( and if i have to do it because it'll benefit my case). Thanks so much guys for your help. This really is a confusing journey.

As in I have an allowance since I was going to school full time and didn't have a job he gives me money to pay for things that I want and need. But I wanna show that he gives me money as an allowance to show comingling of finances. 

This makes no sense, and it could work against you on the public charge issue.

If it was me, I would skip the W7 and just file on paper.  Married filing separately, cannot be filed online when the spouse has no SSN.

Okay so just to make sure the w7 not required at all to file my taxes? And it won't benefit us at all?

I didn't say that, but the W7 is not required to file MFS.
