I know that in order to qualify for IBR my husband and I need to file our taxes separately this year. However, we live in Texas - community property state - and according to the IRS, if you live in a community property state, you must report half of all community income and all of your separate income. If I list half of my husband’s income on my taxes, the whole point of filing separately for the IBR will be for naught. I thought we could do our taxes on our own this year like we always do, but now I’m not so sure. Any advice/help??
