Can you file as married filing jointly and still claim your spouse as a dependant?Will I get both deductions?
                     
 




not_mikeymike
If you file married you get two standard deductions one for you and one for your wife, then one for any other dependents you have. You don't claim your wife as a dependent.


tma
your spouse is not considered to be a dependent. you would get a $3,300 exemption EACH for you, your spouse, and any dependents.


Violation Notice
If you file jointly, you can not use your spouse as a dependant.


Lori W
Ifyou file jointly, you get 2 exemptions. A dependant would be a child in most cases and you get 1 exemption per child. Each person in your family is only allowed 1 exemption unless they meet special criteria (ex: blind).


Turtle
Be careful about the advice you receive on here.

To answer your question, no you cannot file a joint return, with one of the spouses listed as a dependent. While it is generally better to file jointly, there ARE some situations where a taxpayer files Married Filing Separately, and can claim a spouse as a dependent if he/she did not work at all. This is COMPLETELY legal, and is usually used in cases where the spouses don't want to be jointly liable for each other's finances. As I said, that is only Married Filing Separately, and the dependent spouse cannot have any income. Also, it's often a better financial decision to file a joint return if both spouses are willing.


John R
Really


STEVEN F
If you EVER claim your spouse as a dependent, you did somthing wrong. If you are asking about EXEMPTIONS (people are not deductions), you get one for yourself, ONE for your spouse and one for each dependent.

No, a spouse is never a dependent, but if you file jointly you will get an exemption for each of you. An exemption subtracts $3300 from your income before figuring your tax, whether the exemption is for yourself, your spouse, or a dependent.
