Publication 5802: Divorce & Taxes Checklist

Internal Revenue Service

Goal:

To create a document that would assist taxpayers in understanding how divorce affects their tax obligations, and how to get ahead of any potential liabilities.

Solution:

I was brought in as a closer to this project. While the document was in decent shape when I began working on it, I added a lot more polish and a lot more plain language. My private sector experience came in handy here, as I saw ways to make this more friendly to the average reader and make it more plain language.
