I am married but would like to file separately. Would I just tell my CPA when I fill taxes for 2022?


You have to tell your spouse, too, before you file. Even when you file separately there has to be a certain amount of cooperation and exchange of information between the spouses. What one spouse does can affect the other spouse's tax return. Your CPA will advise you about the pros and cons (mostly cons) of filing separately, and about coordinating with your spouse.
