Can you electronically file your taxes if you are married filing separately in Texas?
no way totally wrong
What tax form do you need if married filing separately with claiming dependents?
You can use a 1040 or a 1040A if you are filing Married Filing Separately.
Is better filing jointly with a spouse or separately?
If you are married, you can legally on file in two ways, Married Filing Joint and Married Filing Separate. Married Filing Separate excluded you from getting any tax credits and you only get half of the Standard Exemption. I have never seen a case where Married Filing Separately was better. Married Filing Separately also requires you to include your spouses social security number on your return. If you are married but legally separated for at least the last six months of the calendar year you can file as if you are not married. This means you can file as Single, Married Filing Separately, or Head of Household.
Can you claim your wife as a dependent on your taxes if you file separately?
No. If you are Married Filing Separately, then you only can claim your personal exemption. Your wife's personal exemption only can be claimed by her if you're Married Filing Separately. Your spouse, whether filing jointly or separately, can't be considered your dependent.

If you were married as of December 31, you file as either 'married filing separately' or 'married filing joint' for that year.
In Pennsylvania can you file federal taxes married filing jointly and can you file the state and local as married filing separately?
yes.
What is the difference between filing Head of Household and filing married filing separately?
Married Filing Separately is somewhat penalized as you get the single Standard Deduction and you are disqualified from getting any most tax credits like Earned Income Credit and the Child Tax Credit. However, if you are married on December 31st of the tax year, you are required to file either Married Filing Joint or Married Filing Separately. The only exception to this is if you are legally separated by a Court Judge and have been for the last half of the tax year or more.
Can you file your taxes jointly if you are not married?
The available filing statuses for federal income tax returns are: Single Married Filing Jointly Head of Household Married Filing Separately Qualifying Widow or Widower No, there is no filing status for Single Filing Jointly.
You and your wife are separated can you file single?
Not as long as you are still legally married on the last day of the year. Married filing jointly or Married filing separately. NOT as a single taxpayer.
Is it better to file separate tax returns if you are on disablity but your husband still works?
IF you are married, the only legal way to file is Married Filing Joint, and Married Filing Separately. Depending your two incomes, most of the time it is much better for you to file Married Filing Joint. Married Filing Separately disallows any tax credits that you may be eligible to take and doesn't really benefit you in any way.
How do I file my tax return while I am waiting for my divorce?
Your filing status is determined by the last day of the tax year. If you're not divorced under a final decree by the last day of the year, then you're considered still married. Your choice is either be Married Filing Jointly or be Married Filing Separately. Married Filing Separately generally has a higher tax rate than Married Filing Jointly. If you have any dependents, you might be able to file as Head of Household.
