Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Hey there. Marital status is determined as of 12/31. If you are still married, you can either file Jointly (one tax return) and add your spouse's W2 to the return or Married Filing Separately (MFS) where each spouse files a separate tax return. If you file MFS, each person would add their separate income (W2, 1099, etc.) and deductions to their tax returns. A lot of folks getting divorced prefer MFS even if the overall tax liability is higher as it severs liability from the spouse. Hope this helps.
