Paperwork nightmares

I’ve been trying to get a separation agreement in place for about FOUR years now. My taxes are now a mess because the government doesn’t BELIEVE that I’m separated (without an official agreement) and has now taxed me at a much higher rate based on dual income. There are of course OH SO MANY items to split. The kids (one an adult now) have been with me this whole time so I’m owed a great deal of child support now too. I’m going to make a commitment right now ON THIS PAGE to get this done by tomorrow. I seriously can’t enter another tax year in this mess. Check back with you all tomorrow. Wish me luck! UPDATE! Made VERY good progress today. In other words gathered as much paperwork as I could. Lawyer will have to trace some items from my ex and from property assessment. Deliver to lawyer in morning. Thanks everyone for pulling for me with your positive feedback!

You can do it!

And yeah, I struggle with official paperwork as well.

Good luck! I have been in paperwork hell for three years. My mom has dementia, so I’ve taken over everything for her. My brother is developmentally disabled, and my mom never got him on SSDI or state social services, so that fell on me, too. So.much.paperwork.

I left every application and form ‘til the last minute, and I’m three years behind on mom’s taxes, but life is still moving forward somehow. Everyone is where they need to be and the authorities have not hauled me away. You can do this, OP!!

Do as much chunking with little breaks or rewards as possible. If filling out one field on a page = biscuit, then it becomes a bit more bearable, albeit a bit unhealthy.

Are you in the states? Is there a legal aid society you can contact to help you figure out what forms you need to file and such?
