Marriage, Divorce & Family
“How do I file my taxes after a divorce?”
A divorce can change how a return is prepared, and the filing approach often depends on the date the marriage ended, the final court order, and which parent or former spouse is claiming dependents or household-related tax items. In many cases, the difference between filing jointly or separately, the treatment of alimony or property transfers, and how income is reported from wages, retirement accounts, or shared investments can all affect the return. Records from the divorce agreement, prior joint returns, and any updated withholding information are often central to the process. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.
In your 30-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:
- Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
- Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
- Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
