This is from IRS publication no. 17:
"You are considered married for the whole year if on the last day of your tax year you and your spouse meet any one of the following tests.

1. You are married and living together as husband and wife.
2. You are living together in a common law marriage that is recognized in the state where you now live or in the state where the common law marriage began.
3. You are married and living apart, but not legally separated under a decree of divorce or separate maintenance.
4. You are separated under an interlocutory (not final) decree of divorce. For purposes of filing a joint return, you are not considered divorced."

The marital status you disclose on your return should be your marital status at 12/31 of any year, even if get married on 12/31. You can either file "married filing jointly" or "married filing separately". If you file "married filing separately", some of your deductions may be limited. Barring some unforeseen reason as to why you'd want to file separately, I'd recommend filing "married filing joint".

Yes.

By the law, even if you were married the last 4 minutes of 2007, you would file as Married, either Jointly or Separately. Jointly is usually better.

Yes, you have to file married jointly or married separately in 2007. That being said, married separately is a red flag for audit purposes and will result in more taxes paid.

It's a shame that there are still marriage penalties. If you could both file single, then you two would pay less taxes as a whole.

Yes! You have to file married even if you get married on December 31st at 11:59 pm. You could file married filing jointly but this will not help your taxes. I suggest filling your tax forms out both ways, one with married jointly and married not jointly and then you can see the difference.

Good luck!

If you are married the last four MINUTES of the year, you'd have to file as married. Your filing status depends on your marital status as of the end of the year.

Yes you do. You can file jointly or seprately. But you have to say you are married.

Yes, but why would you want to file separately? You would lose many deductions if filed married filing separately.

Yes, unless you and your spouse have the same gender, then you have to say that you are single. One day is sufficient.
