You can file a married filing joint return, or a married filing seperate return, but you no longer qualify to file as if you were single. The IRS rules state that if you were married on the last day of a given year, you are considered to be married for that entire year (same goes if you have children - even if they're born on New Year's Eve, you get them for the whole year).

Whether your wife worked or not is not an issue. She'll show on the return as your wife, and you will get the higher standard deduction for married folks. Please please talk to someone about this. I know my answer is correct, but I see lots of different answers out there, and would hate for you to get in trouble because you listened to the wrong person. A simple call to H&R Block can have this question answered in no time. I say Block because I don't know what other tax services are open this time of year, but they should give you the same answer.

There are lots of tax topics that can change when you marry and start that part of your life. Let me know if you have other questions - I'd be happy to help.

As long as you are married before midnight on Dec 31, 2005 you can file married for the entire year


holden
Yes


sommiegenne
yes you can even if she had worked

Your tax status is determined by your marital status on the last day of the year. Since you were married in 2005, you can file married filing joint or married filing separately, NOT single or head of household. Joint filing usually results in lower taxes than separate.

Yes you can file Married Filing Joint. Whatever you Status is on December 31 of that tax year is what you are obligated to file. Same goes with your resident state if you have moved.

You can file either single, or married. But I don't believe you can file "like married".

If your wife did not work that year you would file your taxes as married, and as head of household.
