My father is separated from his wife. She wants to file MFJ. She is not an honest person. She wants his 1099 from S.S. He is suffering from early onset dementia. We ( his kids) want him to file his own taxes as we believe she has not paid hers( she's self employed)and just wants to use our dad. She will not give over HER tax information so we can decide what's best for our father. He only has S.S. income as far as we know ,unless he gets other income in his name that she keeps and we don't know about. His S.S. is only 24,000 a year. They have been separated for four months. He is 82. What do we do? We don't want him responsible for her taxes when he has not worked in over 2 years. And she will not share the refund if it's direct deposit into a bank account that might still have his name on it along with hers. HELP!!
