Apply For VA Benefits

My mother just passed away. My father made $49,930 in 2010.

Should he apply for the three months of VA benefits he's entitled to ($4,680) or would that negatively affect his taxes?

I need to decide this soon and his tax preparer is not available. Thank you so much.

Army Husband

My husband is in the army, and he just got deployed, now he is telling me he wants a divorce. I dont want him to claim our kids so is there any way I can file for income tax even though I was a housewife. Many wives have told me they have but I'm not sure how they did it.

ax Filing as a Military Spouse

Yes, even if you were a housewife, you may still be eligible to file for income tax. You can file as either "Married Filing Separately" or, if certain conditions are met, as "Head of Household." In the case of a divorce or separation, the custodial parent (the one who had the children for the greater part of the year) typically claims the children as dependents for tax purposes.

Darn VA

As a dependent in High school, I was awarded Live Apportionment Benefits and was able to receive a monthly income as long as I attended school/ college. I received the benefits for 5 years while enrolled in college until I was a Junior in college and then they stopped and I received a letter of debit from the VA because THEY (VA) realized that THEY (VA) awarded my father to much money, which I had no control of or dealings with at any time!

Have tried to fix my hole adult life to and explain that I never asked for the benefits nor ever filled out paperwork to receive them in the first place and every year they would garnish my taxes. Now that I have been married for 7 months, will they garnish my taxes if she and I were to fill joint income? Thank you for the help!

Given your situation, it's advisable to consult with a tax professional to explore potential solutions. If the IRS has been garnishing your taxes due to past issues with the VA, understanding your current status and options is crucial. A tax professional can provide personalized advice based on your specific circumstances.
