Also, yes I did prepare two tax returns but because his is a basic tax return since he doesn’t claim the kids or anything, his return was free for both federal and state. The first full year we lived apart and weren’t together, I tried to do our return together and it gave us less than $5000. Separately it gave me. with head of house hold, over $10,000 and that’s just federal. And yes I was legally married and still am.
