After you file

As noted above, you are generally better off filing joint, not separately.

 

Did you e-file? Did your husband's CPA e-file his return? You both can't have done that if you filed Married Joint (one return or the other would have been rejected). Or maybe you filed married separate, which usually is not to your benefit (it could be but it's not easy for the average taxpayer to know when). Or worse, maybe you each filed as Single or Head of Household when you should not have.

 

Personally, while all the advice above is accurate and true, we don't know exactly what either one of you actually did. I would take your copy of your tax return and take it to your husband's CPA and ask him/her to straighten it out. Only by comparing the two return can he/she figure it out.
