I'm trying to help my son going through a divorce in Iowa. His wife's (soon to be ex) friend's father did their income tax this year and last year. He did them electronically. This spring, my son kept saying to his wife that they should be getting their tax refund soon -- and also their tax incentive. She just kept saying yes, they should. Finally, one day when he asked about it, she said they already got them, and she spent them. They went directly into her account.
My son said that he never signed any tax forms. Or, anything that would allow it to go into her account. I saw a copy of his tax form (that they got from the person who filed them electronically for them) and there were no signatures on them. I realize these are just copies of what was submitted electronically.
My son filed for divorce in April (after much lying and deception!). The divorce should be final by the end of October, or before, if they can come to a settlement. They have only been married for a year and a half. Is there any way that he can get part of that tax refund and incentive.
Thank you for any advice!
