Navigating Taxes During High-Conflict Divorce


Listen Later

Transform your approach to managing your finances during a divorce by joining our insightful conversation with Nancy Rossner, our returning expert! Learn about the upsides and potential pitfalls of various tax filing options, such as filing jointly versus separately. Nancy shares her wisdom on balancing the benefits of joint filing, like larger deductions, against the risks of shared tax liabilities. Meanwhile, separate filing might protect you from potential debts but could mean losing out on some valuable credits. With professional guidance, especially in complex divorces, you can achieve a favorable financial outcome.

Our discussion deepens as we explore critical tax considerations related to children amidst divorce proceedings. Discover the intricacies of child-related tax credits, including the earned income tax credit, which follows the child and can't be transferred between parents. Nancy advises on strategic negotiations around dependent claims, emphasizing the importance of clear language in divorce agreements. By meticulously tracking parenting time and incorporating these tax aspects into parenting plans, you can safeguard your financial and legal clarity.

Finally, empower yourself with practical strategies to maximize tax credits and protect your finances during challenging times. Nancy shares essential tips on maintaining accurate records and resolving disputes when both parents claim the same child. We highlight resources like low-income taxpayer clinics, the IRS's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, and the Taxpayer Advocate Service. With this comprehensive toolkit, you'll be better equipped to navigate the complexities of tax filing during a divorce, reclaiming your financial power and ensuring a secure future for you and your children.
