Taxpayers separated at beginning of 2008 and brought their tax info separately to me to file MFJ. Now, being taxpayers are receiving a refund, however, wife wants me to put her attorney's address as the address that refund should be sent. Husband, of course, wants refund sent to his address; advised me that his attorney would be calling me on Monday. What is the best course of action??????

If I were filing
this type of return, I would not care what the lawyers wanted. Of course they each want what is best for their situation. I would require that I be provided with a letter indicating an address that the two of them have agreed upon and the letter signed by each of them. I really don't see how you can be protected otherwise.
LTOnly in government or politics is a "cut in spending" really an increase. It's just not as much of an increase as they wanted it to be, therefore a "cut".

Agree
I would make them agree upon an address or NO return. I would also do as the other person suggested and make them both sign that they agree upon that address, or NO return.
I have gone thru a huge problem this year with MFS or "Judge Ordered Married Filing Joint" and lawyers and different returns, etc.
Make them agree or give them their tax forms back and tell them to hit the road.
