The judge recently signed off on a bifurcation of marriage and granted a status only divorce; the debts and assets have yet to be finalized. During the separation, I found out from the IRS that my former spouse withheld income (W2's) and an early withdrawal from a retirement account when we filed taxes together. The IRS is now coming after me since we filed jointly although I had no knowledge of her withheld info. Can I now file an amendment for that tax year changing my tax status from "Married, filing jointly" to "Married, filing separate"?
Thank you!!
