My wife and I will soon be divorced, and we have always filed jointly. We are both retired and have minimal savings and rental income. We are confused about the benefits of filing jointly or individually, especially regarding Obamacare subsidies and income thresholds. If we are divorced by October 1, 2019, how will our filing status affect our tax situation and Obamacare eligibility? Specifically, how will the sale of a rental property and potential capital gains impact our individual incomes and subsidy eligibility?

Regarding 1099-MISC tax filings, we have several issues: 1) We filed $7,500 in rents in a 2016 1099-MISC form for an individual, but $1,000 was actually for 2015. Should we correct the 2016 form or file a new one for 2015? 2) We filed a 2016 1099-MISC for a second individual, but a $50 rent check was written in 2015 and cashed in 2016. Should it be reported in 2016? 3) When using the cash method, do we count expenses when the check is written or when it's cashed? 4) Can we count rent expenses that occurred before the LLC was formed as startup expenses on the 1099-MISC form? 5) If we need to resubmit corrected 1099-MISC forms, is there a deadline and are there penalties? 6) How do we refile corrected 1099-MISC forms? 7) If we refile two corrected 1099-MISC forms, what should we put in boxes 3 and 5 of the 1096 form?
