Can my accountant (who is my GF) view my credit score or debts?

My GF is an accountant and I think it would seem weird if I didn't let her to my taxes. I'm proud of my financial situation overall (salary, assets, no mortgage on the condo I live in, etc), but I have a decent amount of credit card debt due to to a bad football gambling year, which has dragged my score below 685. Trashy, I know.

Would she be able to see/view my credit score easily from the information that she'd get (work W-2's, Roth IRA EOY statements, etc) if she was interested in doing so?

Anything else I might want to consider before letting her do this?

You use your credit card to gamble?

Unless you can see yourself marrying her, don't let her do it

A doctor shouldn't perform surgery on a family member. A lawyer shouldn't defend a family member in a criminal trial.

You could try that line of reasoning on her. Good luck.

If any of those documents had your SSN and she knew some (relatively) basic information about you, she could pull a credit report.

And they have those background checks websites but I don't know how accurate/detailed those are.

so not only did you bet on football with your credit card, but you bet on your team like a moron.

Yes, she'll have your SSN.


You need to get to work, 685 is pretty bad. (I've had worse in my time.)

If she does your taxes, FICO will mail her a copy of your credit report after she files your return.

Your accountant GF should have told you that's a bad financial decision to begin with.

Yeah all you need to see your credit score on credit karma is ss# and adress. Both of which is on your w2.

Always a smart decision. You can't beat the interest rates on those.

685 is not a bad score.
