No, you can do either Married Filing Seperately or Married Filing Jointly.. but not single. You pay less taxes when you file jointly.. Best Wishes! |

If you're talking about your W-4 (you don't say) you can adjust the number of exemptions or have extra withholding done each period. Just say you are married (you are) and have an addditional amount withheld from each paycheck.
But why on earth would you want to have too much money withheld from your paycheck? You're just making the government an interest-free loan. |

on the w-4 - you put whatever you want - that just determines how much tax is withheld - just be careful whatever you choose will withhold what needs to be withheld you will wind up owing tax at tax return time. Single and 0 will give you the biggest refund |

No. You must file Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Seperately. Usually you are better off filing Married Filing Jointly. You are just in a higher income bracket together now with combined incomes. But you get twice as much in credits and deductions..depending on income |

Yes. No one cares what you designate with your employer in terms of marital status or exemptions as long as you pay enough tax. I always had employer withdrawal based on single rates to cover taes on interest income. |

Fill a new W-4 out at your work place and mark married, but withhold at a single rate. It will take out more tax money now. OR you can pick a set amount of extra that you want with held per paycheck.....say $50..... and put that on your w-4 on line 6 where they ask for any additional amount that you want to withhold. You'd still leave it marked married then.
You may already know this but many people suggest not letting the IRS use your money interest free for the entire year. Instead, put that extra money in a savings account or a CD and earn interest on it. If you are worried about spending it if you see it, some businesses that do direct deposit will allow you to deposit part of your check to savings and part to checking. It's worth checking into. |

You can change your W-4 withholdings to whatever status and number of dependents you want.
Changing to Single-0 with have the most taxes withheld. It's worked out well for me to fill out the W-4 worksheet correctly, then have 2 less on the withholdings. Example - my worksheet says withhold for 6 deductions so I go with 4. When I was married it said to withhold at married and 4 so I went with married and 2 and never had to pay - always got something back.
Just don't try to claim single on your tax return :) |

Why would you want to do that?
To answer your question though, you can change your w-4 back to single or specify to have a specific amount of additional taxes withheld. |

Yes, mark your w4 as married but withhold at a higher single rate. However, when you fill out you income tax return you will have to file either married filling jointly or married filling seperately. The only way you would be able to filing single for income tax purposes, is if you lived apart from your husband for 6 1/2 months before the end of the year and your are legally seperated. |

I don't beleive it will make any difference, unless you are NOT LEGALLY married, then I guess you can. Otherwise if you are, the government already has it on file that you are married. Trying to change it might end up with an audit. better to be safe than not.
Another option is you or your husband may claim yourself as head of household, but then that has other qualifications, such as being married but not living together for at least 6 months due to business, school, etc. You may want to go to the irs website if this is what you are considering. |

The form at work is just what you claim for the deductions to be based on. You can fill the form out honestly and then choose any number that you want for your status.
Anyone who claims '0' will pay more taxes and have more taken out, and therefore get more back at the end of the year. |

No. They will offer the option to pull ADDITIONAL funds out for whatever reason. Put something in that slot and he should do the same. |
