Taxes can be complicated, but divorce adds a new layer of complexity. The implications of divorce affect more than just the taxpayer’s filing status and tax brackets. This course will cover those things as well as the impact on taxpayer assets and debts that have to be split. Specifically, how NOL carryovers, QDROs, estimated tax payments, and back taxes are handled after divorce. We’ll also cover how practitioners can handle the conflict of interest that arises after the divorce. Participants will leave this presentation with the confidence to know what things to consider when their clients get divorced.
