If you are married and one spouse files taxes as saying married filing separately and the other person files as single is this tax fraud? What if one party lets his/her parents claim them while the other files married filing separately?Is failure to report a marriage considered tax fraud?
In your first example, the spouse who filed as single has filed an illegal return. And they'll get caught, too.
If parents meet the rules to claim one of the married pair, they can as long as the couple doesn't file a joint return. The other spouse would file MFS, and so would the person claimed by their parents if he or she has reason to file a return at all. This situation is legal.Is failure to report a marriage considered tax fraud?
yes this is fraud. If you are married your only two options are married filing separately or married filing joint
if yoou are legally married then yes it is fraud
Yes.
