@djsabres That's an interesting twist on your situation. You say you want to claim the children on your return, but the reason your spouse does not want to file a joint return is that she does not want to share the child-related credits? You and your spouse have more than a tax issue. You will have to work out which one of you claims the children. They cannot be claimed on both of your separate returns.
