Get your taxes done using TurboTax

"so thirty work days later I was granted the divorce"

So the divorce was final in September 2018 or Feb 2019?  I don't know if you know.

You probably should take your tax information and a copy of your divorce paperwork to a good accountant.  I don't think we can help you if we can't get a straight answer on the date that you are considered legally "unmarried" by the state of California.
