Course Overview

Divorce, a major life event, can significantly impact tax planning, catching many taxpayers off guard. Navigating the tax changes after filing independently due to a divorce, especially when there's a property division involved, requires preparation. 

This CE Tax webinar is designed to empower tax professionals, providing them with essential insights to guide clients through the tax complexities arising from divorce. The course covers strategies for taxpayers to navigate these changes while safeguarding their interests and avoiding conflicts of interest. Key topics include the impact of divorce on the taxpayer's tax bracket, filing status, and the intricacies of claiming children according to IRS rules, not just the divorce decree. Practical advice will be shared on minimizing tax liabilities when dealing with QDROs, ensuring tax professionals are well-equipped to handle this aspect of divorce-related tax matters.

Key topics covered in this course:

  • What qualifies as a marriage and divorce to the IRS?
  • Conflict of interest when a couple divorces.
  • Qualified domestic relations orders.
  • Carryforward allocations.
  • Claiming children after a divorce. 
  • Back taxes after divorce

Join this online CE Course, and we will delve into Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDRO), shedding light on its implications for both the receiving and giving spouses.
