Marriage, Divorce & Family
“What do I need to know about taxes now that I'm divorced?”
Divorce can change several parts of a tax return, and the details often depend on the final divorce decree, the date the marriage legally ended, and how custody or support arrangements are written. Filing status, who claims dependents, and how alimony, property transfers, or retirement account divisions are treated can all affect the outcome in different ways. It is also common for name changes, address updates, and withholding changes to matter after the separation. In many cases, the paperwork from the divorce itself is just as important as the tax forms. Working through the specifics with a CPA is the cleanest way to land on the right move.
