It sounds like you need professional tax advice. If you are married, you can file jointly. So even if he has no income, you enjoy an additional standard deduction and itemizing (if that is advanageous) is easier too. Remember, if you are living with your husband, the only two legal filing statuses are
1. Married, filing jointly and
2. married, filing separately.

In other words, claiming him as a dependent and filing Head of Household is NOT an option. Please don't let anyone tell you it can be done.

Married people are always best advised to crunch the numbers both ways and see which works best.

Are some of his benefits means-tested? Please remember that filing taxes and declaring income to the payer of the benefit are two completely different things.

If you really cannot afford an accountant, at least go to irs.gov after January 12th and click on the FreeFile icon. that link will take you to a list of online tax prep companies. Depending on your circumstances, you may get your tax prep for free. If not, my experience is that I have never paid more than $20 to file federal and state combined using that service. last year the website even had an option for you to fill in basic information about yourself and it directed you to the best company to use.

Steven F: it's the other way around. MFS can itemize. In fact if one spouse itemizes, the Standard Deduction for the other is zero, which forces both spouses to itemize whatever they can. We have one client in the office just like that. See the link below, point 11.

Only if you have another source of income (your salary, if you work, or interest earned, etc), in which case the amount he gets from the VA would not be included in your taxable income. VA pensions are not taxable, and would not affect either the amount of taxes you owe, or the refund amount due you, if any.

No, with a caveat: If all his income is disability do not file a return. If there is interest from savings, investment, etc file a return. I don't understand the exact nature of your question, so I will provide this: I am 100% from the VA, and 100% CRSC. I have investments. The CRSC is taxable along with interest earned from the investments.VA disability is never reported. I am assuming you have income which must also be reported, so file a joint return.


Bonita Applebaum
No he doesn't have to file a return. He is recieving disability benefits. Government aid is never taxed.

One clarification to skip. He said itemizing is easier on a joint return. Itemizing is not allowed if married filing separately. If you don't file a joint return, you can't itemize at all.

He wouldn't have to unless he has other income also, but if you have income, then you can still file a joint return and it wouldn't be affected by the amount of disability he receives. Filing joint would probably let you pay less in taxes.

If your taxable income, excluding his disability, is not over around $38,000, see if you can find a VITA site near you - you can get info on that from irs.gov. They'll prepare your return at no cost.

Good luck.

Well, I think it is something our government should do for a disabled vet. HE should never have to pay income tax again, that is how I feel.


specialtyribbon
From what i understand. Everyone in the United States should file a tax return whether they do or do not have a taxable income

No and if he did it wouldn't affect your return. HIs income is not taxed. However it may slow down the processing of your return if he did.
