Hi,
I live in Florida and my husband has lived in Arizona for over a year. There are no signed papers, so we are still legally married.
He pays my major bills (rent, utilities, cable); otherwise, I am living on my Social Security (I am 64 years old). Do I have to claim the money he pays my bills with as income?
Thanks, Duped in Florida

My common law partner and I separtated on April 1, 2010 and then started living together again as a couple on October 1, 2010. How does this affect our tax situation? During the separation, her child tax credits were increased by a significant amount.
Since texas does not have a legal seperation process and I have been seperated from my husband and do not communicate with him, Can I use the legal seperation option when filing my taxes since I was only married for a short time and does not know or have his information.
