How to file taxes during the pendency of a divorce?

As long as you were still married through the end of a tax year, you are allowed to file your taxes as "married filing jointly", even if your divorce is pending. For many people, this can be the best way to file taxes. Make sure you discuss any tax decisions with your CPA prior to filing. Moving forward, your divorce decree is going to outline how to file taxes with regard to any minor children you may have and who is going to claim them in which years. The child tax credit in each year can be decided by the calculation of child support in your matter, or it can be agreed upon by the parties. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us directly at 480-268-9393.
