"Divorced" is not a filing status; you are asked in the interview if you are married, single, divorced, etc. But your actual filing status can be single, married filing joint, married filing separately, or head of household.

If you filed a joint return last year and were divorced by Dec 31 you need to start completely over and set up a new account and new username and password and not transfer from last year. See
