Marriage, Divorce & Family
“How do I deal with taxes now that my marriage is over?”
When a marriage ends, the tax picture often changes in ways that depend on filing status, the timing of the separation or divorce, and how income, deductions, and dependents are handled. Property division, support arrangements, and the way prior joint returns were filed can all affect the return for the current year and possibly earlier years as well. In many cases, the details in the divorce decree or separation agreement, along with who lived where during the year and who provided support, shape how the tax picture is viewed and what records matter most. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
In your 30-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:
