TP needs to file a return. Spouse went missing and a missing report was filed. Some 45 days later unable to find missing spouse.(80 years old). TP holds a GENERAL POA that does have the wording to sign "any deed, contract, court order, pleading, tax return, disability, or retirement election, or any other paper". Has a sizeable refund in it due to a carry over credit of estimated tax paid from a joint return. Would TP be better off to file a MFS return and ask for the refund? The tax year in question is a 2017 return about to die. Any ideas as time is very short.

Sounds like you have everything in hand to file a joint tax return. Besides, the carryover may only apply to a joint tax return so MFS could present a problem.This post is for discussion purposes only and should be verified with other sources before actual use.
