So last tax year 2018 I filed with my then girlfriend. Our tax preparer at H&R block suggested we file as married so we did. Unknowingly to us that meant we were now common law married. I am now trying to file this year and we have seperated. We have two children 8 months and 5 years old. Do to lack of funds we haven't gone to a court but have made agreements on our own. She has been unable to move out of the house I own because she has no family living close and she has no job do to a disability which she is not recieving disability for.
So..
·we are separated
·we have two children
·she still lives with me to care for children while I am working
How do I file? I don't want to be held responsible for her student loans, and I dont want to wait the 8-14 weeks for my return with the injured spouse and she refuses to file separately.
