It can be better to stay single. That way, you benefit from lower rates of tax. Two full-time wages can push you into a higher tax bracket. The Standard Deduction for a married couple filing jointly is exactly twice that of a single person, so no savings there.
Having said that, there really is only one reason to get married. Yes, I'm an incurable romantic, and proud of it. |

That question can't be answered without knowing ALL of your financial details - income, assets, expenses, etc.
Sorry, get a copy of TurboTax and run the numbers both ways and find out. It was a wash for my husband and I, so we filed Joint. |

Like everyone else has already said, there's not nearly enough info in your question to really answer it. There are way too many variables.
Download the forms and figure your taxes both ways, then decide whether to set the date for December or January.
Good luck. |

It can depend on many things. For the most part, I believe the "marriage penalty" has been phased out. But, if one of you has kids, and qualifies as head of household, you might lose a bit.
Could depend on what each of your incomes actually are, if you own houses, etc...
Best to consult a CPA or other tax advisor. Far too many variables in play |

um, don't
Marriages made for THAT kind of reason end up costing quite a bit - to more than just you two. Do a cost-benefit analysis. See the numbers for yourself. |
