We live in Colorado, and my lawyer told us to file a bankruptcy together since common law applies. We never got married and filed for a marriage certificate but Colorado has common law marriage. So my question is, would I have to file as married since I filed a joint bankruptcy and my lawyer treated us as married due to common law in Colorado?
If you are presenting yourselves as married in the common law state of Colorado then you file your federal and state tax returns as Married.
