Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

If I got married last year and my spouse has not filed taxes in the last few years, can we file or do we have to wait until his back taxes are filed and processed?

If I got married last year and my spouse has not filed taxes in the last few years, can we file or do we have to wait until his back taxes are filed and processed?

Yes, you can file without waiting for his back taxes to be processed. If you anticipate he will owe back taxes and do not want IRS to take out from your total joint refund, you should file as an injured spouse.
