I am planning to go through a divorce. My wife promised that it would be an amicable one. Will see. The situation is is this. We will be divorced sometime in 2007. Since I make most of the income, it makes sense for me to declare her as a dependent and file a married/joint return for 2007 and pass some of the tax savings on to her. What's the IRS rule for this. Do I have to be married for any part of 2007, more than half, etc. to be able to do this? Do I need to wait until AFTER 6/30 TO MAKE DIVORCE FINAL? Is it prorated for the number of months married? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
