Can you file separately? That way it puts the pressure on her since she is being uncooperative in getting the needed information to you....oh the IRS nightmare my H caused me...dont wsnt ti mess with the IRS.

He was getting the mail most days before we (actually both of us) took the trip to look for the farm I wanted to buy with my inheritance money. Made the trip in April & I (only I) came back in May to close escrow on the farm I bought as I REFUSED to let him put his name on the title (paid cash for it with MY inheritance $). I stayed until Sept working on cleaning & fixing it up. Went back to our home in Sept for a couple of weeks to load up some things in a moving truck which I drove 2100 miles across country with my dog. I stayed until just after Thanksgiving & drove my truck back planning to haul my horse trailer back filled with our 13 dogs & see if the new awesome environment I found would mske any difference in him. I had already decided over those months I reslly loved living without him in my life but thought maybe tkme aeay he might have had time to figure out the issues I had been expressing to him so felt it was only fair to give him ONE LAST CHANCE & I had bought a plane ticket for my daughter to come yo my new farm thst Christmas too. First Christmas fsmily had been together in years. A 2100 mile trip riding in a truck gave LOTS of time available to talk ( one would think).

I ended up kicking him out & back to the home we owned but luckily I had all the mail forwarded to my farm & just left it that way. Good thing!!!! I got a letter from the IRS the day before my birthday in Feb saying it was SECOND NOTICE???? I never got first notice & was NEVER TOLD about any first notice. Come to fimd out he got the letter alright but he said because he couldnt figure out what the problem was & he KNEW he hadnt MADE SNY MISTAKES.....he just IGNORED the letter & didnt bother to tell me about it. I researched the problem & went over the tax filing the IRS said there was a problem with....& sure enough...over a $10,000 problem he had goofed up on with my inheritance & one small mistake that was correctable that went away. The IRS worked with me on what I needed to get the penalties waived so I took care of that. We had no money by that point to pay it with thsnks to his not telling me when he got the letter that previous March. I was so angry Iforced him to take a retirement he had been waiting to take. I made the payments because I didnt trust him with anything by that point. It took about 8 years to pay it off even eith it being really low interest. It wasnt easy working directly with the IRS to get it resolved but I knew I couldnt possibly trust him. Everything I had given him to handle in our marriage he messed up.

Dont let your wife's keeping the W-2's from yohget yoh into a mess with the IRS....its not worth it....ugh, really not.

Hope yiu were able to file an extension & at least have the taxes paid. I can truly feel for you & the hassles you are dealing with.
