Can my mom and stepdad file an injured spouse for taxes?
In 1998,1999,2000,2001,2002,2003,2004, the State of California took "back taxes owed" from my parents taxes because my real dad claimed A LOT more than he should have in 1982(before I was born), without my mother's knowledge. They cant go after my real dad for the money because he claims SSD. My step dad is the only one working (he makes enough for my mom to stay home) and they took the money from HIS income tax earnings. When they went to file taxes this year, their tax professional said they might be able to file for an injured spouse and get back the money that they took from him. I was just wondering if anyone knows if this is possible?

- Yes and maybe even for past years. Sorry it had to be with your mothers knowledge because she had to have signed the forms.
