starsgoblind | If I was married in September of 2006, do I have to file married? |
I was married in September of 2006, and someone told me I would not have to file married, and then someone told me that I would. I live in the state of Indiana, if that makes a difference. Does anyone know a definite answer to this? |

This is the no kidding answer:
You can file one of three ways only:
1. Married
2 Married filing separately
3 Head of houshold (if you qualify)
Filing as single is NOT an option
This is the way it is for fed and state returns |

You are considered married by the IRS for the entire 2006 tax year if you were married prior to or on December 31, 2006.
Your filing options are:
Married, filing jointly
Married, filing separately
I would recommend figuring out the taxes both ways and taking the one that gives you the biggest refund.
Head of household can only be filed by non-married taxpayers with at least one qualifying dependent. |

The IRS has so many different rules. You can file "Married, filing jointly", "Married Filing Separately. If you and your mate both have "earning" jobs, I would fill out the taxes BOTH ways. You fill with your income and Medical, travel, Your part of real estate taxes (that is if you own a house) and if you do, also your part of the interest on the mortgage payment for the year. YES, I say for the year, because, even though you got married in September, you are considered married for ALL OF 2006. Your mate, can fill in his own 'Married, filing separately" to see how much you each have to either "Pay" or "Get Back". You have to remember, too, that filing "Married, Filing Jointly" may give you a little more edge as the exemption for filing that way, may be larger than the "two" exemptions you both take by filing "Married,Filing Separately. Please do yourself a favor and either get some advice from an IRS representative, OR, go to a book store and purchase one of those LARGE 2006 Federal Income Tax books. These books have EVERYTHING in them.
It's not easy, but once you start doing your taxes, whichever way you choose, it will become easier & easier. A little hint. If you file a LONG FORM (1040) one year, and a SHORT FORM 1040 the next year, and alternate, and IF you own a home, by filling in 2 YEAR'S REAL ESTATE TAXES ON SCHEDULE A, every other year on the long form, plus contributions, interest on mortgage, etc., you're almost guaranteed to get a substantial return in the year you send in the long form, and just about break even when you file a short form the next year. Hope this has been helpful to you. Please do your READING! GOOD LUCK, MY FRIEND. |

For federal taxes, it's a federal law, so the state you live in doesn't matter. Your filing status is determined by the last day of the year, so yes, you have to file as married. |

Call a local accountant for sound advice.
My opinion is,
If you're still married and your employment pay stubs say your filing status is married, you must file as married or risk fraud. |

Your choice is either Married or Married filing separate for IRS on your federal return. You can only file Head of Household if you were married for the year and did not live with your husband for 6 months of the year and have children to claim. Even if you married on Dec 30, you still were married at the end of the year and that is what counts.
You can check out Publication 501 on the IRS website.

I think you can file separately or jointly. To be sure about this, I suggest that you call a tax preparer like H&R Block, or someone else. They would be able to give you more information about it that would help and put your mind at ease. I hope that this helps. |

For Federal, you can file separately - it's worded something like "married, but filing separate."
My ex and I did this when we separated. And I know married couples who keep financial stuff (that they brought to the marriage) separate so it's beneficial to file this way.
Congrats on the marriage! |

No, you would have to be married for 6 months or more for the year 2006 in order to file as married. |
