Divorced is not a filing status on a tax return. The software asks if you are married or divorced, etc. but that is only to navigate you to certain questions regarding alimony, etc. If you are not supporting/custodial parent of dependent children then your filing status is Single.

No difference. Divorced is not a filing status. You are Single.
