Can a wife as her tax transcipts independently from her previously receive joint file

Asked onMonday, June 19, 2023 by Abdolrahim

I need assistance with a tax-related question. In a scenario involving a husband and wife, they have jointly filed their 2022 tax return. The wife has been requested by a federal office to provide her tax transcript. However, the husband is uncooperative and unwilling to submit a joint transcript. I would like to know if the wife has the option to independently request a copy of her own federal tax transcript from the IRS, which she can then submit to the federal office while maintaining confidentiality.

Payments and Penalties

Audited, claiming kids

Asked onSaturday, June 17, 2023 by Gage

I've claimed all 3 of my children since they were born, the eldest being 6. I complied with the requests for extra documentation and waited. They're now saying I can't claim them or the earned income credit and owe 1,000 + with interest, even though they're just now saying I owe something. I have been waiting since I filed in February and do not understand how they can claim that these children are suddenly not mine.

Are annual, unpaid interest payments compounded with principal if promissory note language excludes compounding clause?

Asked onFriday, June 16, 2023 by Alan

Interest rates and payments are specified in a promissory note secured by a deed of trust. However, no interest or principal payments have been made and the property is about to be sold. The promissory note lacks a clause that specifies that unpaid interest shall accumulate to principal and compound year-by-year, so need to know if unpaid interest due should be compounded annually or not.
