My divorce was final in March of 2006. Still legally married on Dec 31, 2005, my now ex-husband took it upon himself to file without me as head of household and claimed our son on his return. The divorce nor any of the stipulations as to who can claim what or whom were not finalized at the time he filed. I ended up having to file single and had to pay in while he got a rather large refund. My question is this, shouldn't you file according to what your status is on 12/31 of the tax year you are filing? If so, then is it possible to file an ammended return for that year and maybe receive a refund? If an ammended return can or should be filed, how do I go about doing that and what info do I need to include?
