Change of tax class in case of divorce
Hello,
In September 2010, I took on a second residence because there were problems in my marriage. Since we have a daughter together and wanted to give it another try, I was frequently at my family's place, where my main residence is still registered.
Now (25.02.2011), my wife and I have decided to proceed with a final separation.
1.) Since I will only be able to change my tax class from 3 to 1 by 01.01.2012, will I have to pay back taxes for this year if we have been living separately since this weekend?
2.) Is it correct that 2011 is the last year for joint taxation?
3.) Do I need to watch out for any pitfalls at the tax office that are not mentioned here?
Thank you.
