My husband has used turbo tax since 1999 and no problems

He gets SSDI and pays about $700-800 in federal taxes a year on that and VA disability is tax free.

I work and have for 13 years. He’s always done the taxes when the w-2 came in. This year he was behaving odd about it. And it took me awhile but I was able to get the 1040 history for the last few years on IRS . And noticed his income was fine but what he put for mine didn’t match any of my w-2 income none for any year I just got these 3 weeks ago. I never saw any refunds because he kept them and he has them deposited in a hidden account i had no access to. I don’t know a PIN number for turbo tax IRS nothing but i am livid

Tbis was no oversight but meant to screw me over and thinking I’d be paying for it while he took the refunds and filed fraudulently

Two weeks ago a letter arrived from the IRS saying we owe $3500 and apparently that wasn’t the first notice

He has let it go for over a year

He has the money heck he makes $6500 a month compadres to my $2000 a month. And was made because he felt entitled to my money

How Turbo Tax allowed his file to go through i don’t know

I refuse to pay anything that he did

I’m tired of people saying get a lawyer bc I feel like my divorce lawyer is trying to screw me too

What a sad story. Sorry you are dealing with this. TurboTax is just a program which accepts the user’s input and sends the return to the IRS. There is no human involvement. Your openly recourse, unfortunately, is a legal one.

Turbotax has no way of knowing that a tax return has inaccurate info. perhaps your spouse filed by mail to avoid the IRS computers from quickly catching the w-2 misstatements. Innocent spouse relief may be available but you need a tax pro to review your situation. If you do nothing, the IRS can go after your bank accounts, put liens on your assets, garnish your wages, etc. They can do the same to your spouse or both.

see IRS PUB 971 for info on this relief
