We both fully maintain our own separate residences is different states (she in South Carolina, me in Florida) and we have no dependents living with either of us. I filed my taxes with Married Filing Separately status and they were accepted, while her accountant filed her taxes with a Single status and they were rejected. Her accountant is telling her I need to amend my return changing to Single status so her return will be accepted. Her accountant said even though our divorce was not finalized until this year, that the IRS will allow us to both file as Single since we did not live together all of last year. Is this correct?
