I am divorcing my husband, and long story short I don't feel safe with him knowing where I live. I was going to file as Married Filing Separately despite the lower deductible because of this and not wanting to be in contact with him. However, we live in TX which is a community property state, and so from what I have just learned and understand from him we each need to still include the other's tax information including W-2s. He says he needs mine, and I need his, but my W-2 has my address on it, and it kind of defeats the purpose of filing separately. Is there a way we can complete our taxes separately without him finding out where I live? Regardless I'll have to be in contact with him, should I just try and file jointly anyway?

He’s lying. File Married filing Separately. Ignore him, only communicate through your attorney.
Give him a copy of your w2 with the address removed, if that’s your concern
Can you get a legal separation, pending the divorce? If you are legally separated, you file as single.
If you’ve lived apart for last 6 months of year and you support yourself you can file as HOH if you have a dependent. Otherwise you need to hire a pro to help you. File an extension and then find a pro.
