Might have expressed myself incorrectly.....

[Connie]

I posted earlier about a tp that was separated from her hustand in 2004. The 2003 return had an overpayment....carried forward....from the Federal return of $109,000.00 and $13,750.00 on the state return. The overpayment was in partly due to estimates paid because of her husband's Sub S Corporation. Shouldn't she be entitled to her 50% of the overpayments? They filed jointly in 2003. She is confident that her ex-husband did take all of the overpayments on his return, but can't get a copy from him.

Hope I made this clearer this time..... Trying too hard to get this issue resolved and the returns out of here. Especially sinse she got a notice that her return has not been filed from the IRS....

Thanks for you help!

Same Prescribed Formula

Connie, the prescribed formula from your earlier post is what the IRS would use (and honor) to determine how much of this refund belongs to your client.
