Tax Apportionmentfairly allocated between spouses

Joint returns, estimated payments, refunds, and balances due do not stop at separation. Deciding who owes what, who already paid, and who is entitled to a benefit can be unexpectedly complicated for even the savviest taxpayer or the most experienced counsel.

We analyze the tax picture to allocate liabilities, payments, and benefits appropriately between the parties, on the basis of the underlying returns and records.

The goal is a defined, supportable result that attorneys can use in negotiation and that both parties can understand, whether the issue is a past-year return, a current-year estimate, or an open balance.
