For federal tax purposes, a marriage means only a legal union between a man and a woman as husband and wife. Further,a person does not meet this test if at any time during the year the relationship between you and that person violates local law. If you get married this year as a woman and a man as wife and husband, you will most probably have a lower income tax liability if you and your spouse file Married Filing Jointly. A huge dis-advantage to filing Married Filing Separately is that one is eligible for NONE of the credits, including the adoption credit and earned income credit. Only for one-half of the Child Tax Credit.

If one of you made a large income and the other a small income, you should input in to the software Married Filing Separately as well as Married Filing Jointly. You should do it both ways to see which is better for your family. You could put a large amount of the itemized deductions or education, residential energy credits, tuition and fees deduction, etc, on the side of the spouse with the large income. There is the possibility that you would have a lower Federal income tax liability this way. It would flow to the State and you may have a lower income tax liability with the State as well. This doesn't happen often, but it does occur. You would not be trapped in to filing Married Filing Separately in subsequent years. You have the option every tax year. Fortunately, with the advent of software, all you have to do is click on the filing status and the software will calculate it.
Since BOTH spouses must itemize when filing "married, filing separately", it is advantageous to file this status a low percentage of the time.

Yes you can file as married filing separately, but it will almost certainly cost you more than filing as married filing jointly.

You won't be able to file as single though.


Lindaaa Louuu
you never have to file joint, you can be married and file seperately forever


JK Harris
If you are married at the end of 2008, then that is how you must file. You do have the option of filing married filing jointly or married filing separately.


Beach Girl
You can file "Married Filing Separately"....my husband and I did that this year....he likes to file his taxes after April 15 (with an extension) and I am a stickler for getting mine in asap. It works for us!


Leon D
You can *always* file separately.

You can file either way. Contact your tax advisor to calculate which way would be most beneficial to your situation.

You can file a married filing seperate however you will loose some benifite if you have children it could reduce your return . you would loose the earned incone credit and child tax credit


Corran
I think you can always file separately if you want to.


Mercedes R
You may file jointly if you live in a common law state. Otherwise, it sounds like you're still single for tax purposes.
