I own virtually nothing, no vehicles are registered to me, I rent I do not own any property. I have no sticks or investments etc. K definitely has more income as well as assets on the other hand since he does at the minimum own a vehicle, perhaps now two. Thank you though @Opus 17 for your advice and knowledge as you by far have been the most insightful.
Just in case anyone was wondering the reason I asked this question is because a friend of mine has filed with everyone she’s been in a relationship with as MFJ without ever being either legally/formally married and also never formally divorcing the previous ‘spouse’. She’s in the eyes of the IRS been married three separate times to three individuals, and with two of the men also claiming her dependents (while none of the men she’s filled with were the biological or adopted father of the children - one father is deceased and the other was deported). She files each year with HR Block and hasn’t had anyone say anything to her about fraudulent returns/requiring divorcing prior to filing with new partner. She’s the one who mentioned I should file as MFJ with T this year instead of single.
