How do I deduct state tax overpayment when going from "married filing jointly" to "single"
In 2013 I was married filing jointly. We had underpaid our state taxes by ,000 so we wrote a check to the state for ,000.
In 2014 we divorced, and are filing separately. The ,000 can be used as a deduction on our 2014 taxes.
Can we BOTH deduct the full ,000 in each of our returns?
Or do we need to split it (,000/,000 or ,000/,000 for example)?
We live in California.

Of course you cannot both deduct it.
California is a community State and the K was a community debt. So I'd say you split it 50/50. Talk to your divorce attorney, it may be that you'll get a different opinion.
