Divorce Tax Filing Dispute

Summary

If your ex-spouse is uncooperative in filing joint taxes post-divorce, you can contact the IRS directly or fill IRS Form 4506 to request a copy of your tax return. Consider involving a mediator or attorney, and if your divorce decree required him to share tax information, you can file a complaint with the court.
