2009 Tax Returns

[Standalone 0]

I filed for divorce and moved to a new place all between Dec 30 2009 and Jan 4th of this year. I have a conditional green card and I am wondering how do I handle tax returns for 2009. Do we file separately or jointly? We are still in very good terms. When my divorce is final I am going to file I-751 wavier. How does filing jointly or separately affect the evidence I am submitting with the form?

Thank you

If you were still married on Dec. 31, 2009, you can file separately or jointly. Whatever status you were on Dec. 31, that is how you file. If you were single then, you file as single. Try both ways separately and jointly and go with the one that helps you the most.
