Personal Taxes

Married But Filing Separately

I am recently married in June of 2022. Prior to June of 2022 I made a 401K withdrawal due to being out of work. I became employed in October 2022. I filed my taxes including married but filing separately, my 401K withdrawal, and my income from my new job. My husband has also filed married but separate with his CPA. I have provided his CPA my W2 and they have filed, but now I wonder if I should have also found the paperwork in regards to my 401K withdrawal prior to our marriage? We weren't married at the time but I live in a community income state, Arizona. Will my 401K withdrawal not being listed on his tax return be an issue even though we weren't married at the time?

Tax Filing Tips

Sales Tax filing and payment

I own a small business and currently use an app on my pos system that files and pays my sales and use tax every month. I have recently started an online store for my business but the app that I use in my physical location that pays and files will not attach to my app. I was wondering if I could continue using the app for my physical location and file a second filing for my online business each month or am I going to have to do everything by hand and only file once per month.
