I am doing a tax return for the wife (new client for me). The couple separated in 2022, and got divorced in early 2023.
She gave me all of her information and their 2021 joint tax return. The 2021 tax return shows that the ex husband has a very big W-2, investments and rental properties. She has no access to this information for 2022 year.
How do I go about their joint rental income and investments (if there are any)?
Should I get in writing from him that he won't be splitting half of his income and allocating it to her? Her tax return is simple, I can e-file it today. But I am afraid that he will file later this year and half of his income will be allocated to her.
Thank you.
