Hi all,
Going back through all my tax returns, it has emerged that my husband and I were never jointly assessed, although we thought we were, and certainly filled out a form years ago to request it.
In 2004 and 05 we had some rental income and capital gains which I declared (I thought jointly) but revenue have told me I am individually assessed (forget the correct term for this).
On the one hand I don't want to create work for myself (if I bring this up with revenue I'm sure I'll have to go through every year's tax and I HATE those forms). On the other hand I wonder if we'd have paid less if we were jointly assessed? (the CGT bill was about 7K I think, if that's relevant)
Would it be intersting (financially) to follow-up on this?
