Filing Taxes During a Divorce in Arizona

2024-03-20 21:17:59

Once a divorce is finalized, each individual is considered unmarried for the entire tax year if the divorce is completed by December 31. The individuals must then file as "Single" or, if they qualify, "Head of Household." Filing as "Head of Household" offers several benefits over the "Single" status, such as lower tax rates and a higher standard deduction. To qualify for "Head of Household" status, you must have paid more than half of the household expenses for the year and have a qualifying dependent live with you for more than half the year.
