well on most forms, do whatever you like, but if you have kids, make sure on your tax forms you claim head of household if you can (makes a huge financial difference)

If you want blank forms go to www.irs.gov and go to forms section

Find an attorney.\n\nIf it's a simple divorce with no division of property, alimony or custody/child support issues, you can find forms on the internet and file yourself.  This option requires a lot more work on your part but it's cheaper.

You should probably change your withholding so that it is more in line with your new situation.  If done correctly, it will end up so that you get more in your paycheck each week, but a smaller refund next year.\n\nBecause you are now married, you need to either file "married filing jointly" or "married filing separately".  It is tough to tell whether your tax will go up or down without more information, it you were going from single to married, total tax between you/spouse would probably go down.  But since it's HOH->married, it might go up.\n\nTypically, couples are better off filing jointly than separately, but that must be decided based on your circumstances.  I'd try both ways, and file whichever way gets you the lowest taxes.

Sadly, you cannot.  This is one of the perks of actually being married.  If you are not married and he is not the biological or adoptive father of the kids, he cannot claim you or them on his taxes.  The link below will take you to the page on IRS' web site that explains the four tests for claiming dependents on your taxes.  You have to be able to pass all four in order to claim dependents.

Do it both ways...jointly and married filing separately and see where you come out better.  You can file either way.  But you actually FILE one way or the other, whichever is best for you. It's worth the time to do the math twice.

Yep, tax form 1040X is for this purpose.\n\nhttp://www.wwwebtax.com/general/form_1040x.htm

Check with the local social security office.  I don't think divorced people can claim each others Social Security benefits.

What i would do is got to turbotax.com and plug in all the numbers to see what filing status would work best for you all. Thats what my wife and i did because we were in doubt as to what way would be best to file: Married filing jointly or married filing seperately. You dont even really have to file through them and it will still give you a pretty accurate figure as to what you will actually get

You can file a per se divorce. You fill out all of the forms yourself. You can download them off of your county clerk's website. Once they are filled out you have your spouse sign them as no contest. You file them with the court and they will set a court date of 60 days later. Once that happens, you will be instructed before your hearing to speak with a court appointed attorney who reviews your paperwork (at no charge) before appearing before the judge. \n\nMy ex and I did this as we had no children or assets to divide. It is great if you are able to be civil and you can agree on the division of the property that you currently both possess.

The form that must be filed is a 1040X (for an individual, just add X to the end of the form number fr other entities).  Go to irs.gov, under forms and publications you can find the form and the instructions which should be helpful.  If you need more you might do a search of the sight for the words "amended return" for other publications.
