I was approached by husband to prepare 2011 return.
I provided him with an engagement letter for a MFJ return.
Just after I gave the engagement letter to him - THEN he informs
me that while he and his wife WERE married in 2011 - they're considering
getting divorced.
The engagement letter was held up because wife had no problems with
filing jointly for 2011 or signing the engagement
letter - but refused to be responsible for paying
any part of the bill (stated on the engagement letter).
Both signed the engagement letter.
That issue got resolved - husband to pay 100%.
My question is - when giving the completed returns to them - knowing of
the pending divorce - do I provide EACH of them a copy of the returns -
or just one copy?
