You can't claim your spouse as Dependent.
But you can file as Married Filing Jointly. Then you get one extra exemption deduction of $3,400 and one extra standard deduction of $5,350.
Thus your total deductions (if you don't itemize) will be $17,500. |

You can't claim him as a dependent but you still can file a joint return with him. The only qualifier for a joint return is that you be married on the last day of the year. You can always file a joint return even if only one of you has income.
The first 3 answers are simply wrong. You cannot file as Head of Household if you are living with your spouse. PERIOD. And you never claim a spouse as a dependent. And "dental assistant" should stick to cleaning teeth as she doesn't know the difference between a deduction and an exemption. |

Your terminology ("claim") shows just how confusing tax law is.
First, since you are married you will want to file a joint return, giving you a higher standard deduction and higher bracket break points.
Next, by filing MFJ you automatically get to deduct 2 "personal" exemptions of $3400 each. He is not your dependent for tax purposes. |

You can always take a personal exemption for your spouse if you file a married filing joint return.
You can take a personal exemption for your spouse when filing as married filing separately, as long as your spouse had no income, is not filing a tax return, and cannot be claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return.
There are many nonworking spouses on tax returns, it is not required that a spouse have income in order to be an exemption on a tax return.
However, if you file as married filing separately, your tax rates are higher and you will not be able to take certain credits or deductions. |

You can file a joint return with him even though he didn't have income. You'll get an exemption for each of you on the joint return. |

Since you only had one income for the year, you will have two deductions. More if you have children |

You can only if you meet certain criteria read the following-
a Dependent — There are two types of dependents, a qualifying child and a qualifying relative. The five dependency tests — relationship, gross income, support, joint return and citizenship/residency — continue to apply to a qualifying relative. A child who is not a qualifying child might still be a dependent as a qualifying relative. If you are a dependent of another person, you cannot claim any dependents on your own return. .
In your husbands case I assume he didnt have any income at all or would be under the limit of around $2000.00. I would check with a tax professional but I think your husband would easily qualify for a qualifying relative. In that case it meets the standards for what I believe is called the Family Tax relief act |

You can't claim him as a dependent if you're married filing jointly. You could file as head of household, but that results in a higher tax bill, all else being equal. |
