Dumb Tax question
Ok, I know this is a dumb question, and I think the answer is yes but I'm asking anyway.
Hy hubby is a permanent resident and he worked a short term job where the total income was under $100 (revolving door job, but that's another story).
All income is claimed in taxes, no matter how small right? Can I still use the joint filing form? Just want to confirm the best route based on this.
Thank ya

He's saying he only earned less than $100, eh? I say he kept the rest of the pay for himself....
I think you should have a serious discussion with your hubby...
