Tax series features divorce and separation considerations

“Taxing Matters,” a series of tax seminars sponsored by the Business Tax committee, will focus on the basic short-term and long-term tax aspects of divorce and separation settlement issues, as well as how tax considerations interplay with other planning concerns of both spouses in a divorce or separation situation on Wednesday, March 14 from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m.

Speakers Andrew S. Grossman of Grossman Law Offices and Bill Ditty of Ditty Financial Advisers will present this session of particular family law practitioners.

Topics to be discussed include the tax treatment of alimony payments from the perspective of the payor spouse and the payee spouse; the tax treatment of property transfers between spouses and former spouses, including the disposition of the marital home; the tax treatment of dependency-related exemptions and credits; and considerations related to the filing status of both spouses.
