Being separated for tax purposes is different than being legally separated. If you meet the criteria for being separated for tax purposes in any given tax year, you would then file your tax return for that year as “separated”. This means CRA will assess your taxes based on your new marital status.
If you formally finalize your divorce in any given tax year, you will file your tax return for that year as “divorced.”
If have just been formally granted a divorce decree, you must notify CRA by the end of the month following the month that your divorce was finalized.
