chuckdaddypapalove | My spouse is not 65 but she is disabled? |
should i file single and claim her as my dependent since she cant work? is this possible? why file jointly if she isnt working? |
|

If you are married, you can only file either married filing joint or married filing separately. You cannot file single. Also, your spouse is NEVER your dependent. If you file jointly, you get your personal exemption and hers.
Besides, with only one income, you are much better off filing jointly than filing single. The tax brackets change at higher income levels for joint than they do for singles. |

No, you can't file as single. And you wouldn't want to. The tax rates for married filing joint are less than the tax rates for a single filer. |

Married people, including your wife, can only file one of two ways. Married Jointly or Married Separate. She cannot be your dependent. |

You should file jointly because it has lower tax rates. There's no requirement that both spouses have income.
Since you're married, you can't file single. Your only choice other than joint is married filing separately.
Since she doesn't have income, there would be no tax advantage to filing separately even if one of you did have large medical bills or other itemized deductions that are limited by AGI. |

I would take the time to consider her medical expenses. If you itemize her expenses and they still are viable enough for you after the % ruling the I would file single. HOWEVER, if it is more financially beneficial for you to claim her and you meet the criteria to do so then that is a good way too. You have two extra days to file this year... this is really worth testing it out both ways then deciding. |

You have to file married, and your spouse is your dependent because she is your spouse. If disabled there may be an additional deduction. |

I am a stay-at-home mom and we wanted to see if my husband could claim me as a dependent. The tax program we used said you CANNOT claim a spouse as a dependent. Sorry.. |
|

Claim her as your dependent. You might need a letter from your doctor stating that she is disabled but if you do claim her you get more deducted and you might even get money back. Thats always good. |
