After divorce do you need to reinstate your previously filed joint tax returns?

Hi,

I have 2 questions:

1. If my husband and I are separating, but we won`t be able to finalize everything this year. So, we still need to file as Married this year. Last few years we filed a joint tax returned. Can we file as married filed separately this year?

2. When you are divorced, do you need to reinstate prior-year tax returns that were filed jointly? If in the future I am asked to show my tax returns for the last 3 years, but I don`t have an individual tax return since I filed jointly how is it going to work?

 

Thank you in advance!
