2) IF a divorce is not final, how do i file? single? married filing seperate?

3) if a child is involved, during that tax year he spent majority of his time in your care (9 of 12months) who claims him on taxes? She took my son on September 15th and never brought him back. does that make her sole provider? does she get to claim him? do we both claim him as dependent?
1. You can go to the person or agency that filed your taxes last year. If you went somewhere like Jackson-Hewitt, they should have records of your filing to be able to give you.

2. I think you're able to file either way.

3. I'm not clear on this, but from what I've been through, you're able to take turns claiming the child. But I do believe the court sides with the custodial parent. If she files for him, you can not. And vice versa.

Later, QD.
