I filed jointly for the tax year of 2019 while in the midst of a divorce. My STBX owns a partnership interest in several businesses, and we used the same accountant who filed our taxes for the past 15-20 years. The accountant informed us that we both need to agree to ask for a refund of the overpayment in taxes, but my STBX refused. As a result, I ended up filing jointly and paid over $30k in taxes due to his business income. Am I entitled to receive the money I paid for his companies' taxes back as part of a divorce settlement?
