In the process of a divorce, tax controversies can arise compounded by spouses’ lack of cooperation and poor communication. Tax issues in a divorce can seem overwhelming, especially when one spouse may have hidden assets, may have failed to file taxes, or may have ignored tax audits without informing the innocent spouse.
