basically no.....
but in different names yes.....
As long as you were married on December 31, 2014, you will file your taxes as a married person. Being married in October of 2014 qualifies you to file taxes as married.
Your wife is not a dependent, however, you can file a joint return (meaning that you and your wife file a single tax return for both of you) which will effectively give you a tax benefit for supporting your wife (assuming that you do support her).
It depends on how the wife is categorized and what assets are in her name, solely or jointly. Let's say there is a house in both of the names then yes, the wife has to file in a joint return with the husband. If the wife is a student then she will have to file and the husband may be able to claim her as a dependent. To be safe it is always better to file either a zero return solely or as the spouse on a joint return.
“husband and wife live together but file separately. both are itemizing deductions. husband pays mortgage and r/e taxes. house in both names. does the mortgage interest and r/e taxes have to be split if all paid by husband or is husband entitled to take full deduction.”
Joint filers are both responsible for the entire tax bill. If the unpaid taxes are from a year that the couple filed jointly, the wife is fully responsible for any unpaid taxes unless she can meet the qualifications for innocent spouse relief. After the filing deadline, a joint return cannot be amended to separate returns. If there are unpaid taxes from 2008, the wife can still file a separate return for 2008. If a joint return has been filed for 2008, they have until April 15, 2009 to amend.
Entirely up to you whether you file your Federal Taxes jointly or seperately. And you will also have to file MI state taxes. I don't believe TX has a state income tax, but that may have changed. This might be a case where a good tax accountant can help you out.
File seperatley, not jointly..both Fed & State
Yes, if you file a joint return. However, there is a provision called, "Inujured Spouse Allocation" which your Wife may file with the IRS to recoup her portion of the refund check. Next year, file joint.
Yes, if your wife works for you there will be no taxes or payroll or federal taxes or state withholding that you will have to worry about as a small business.

He could, but she could file an injunction ordering their return.
You file in the state that you currently reside in
For 2010 I was separated from my wife. For the 2010 year she was on SSI. How should I file my taxes? I had to pay her doctor bills and other maintenance expences also. Can I file "head of household" with her as a dependent? or, should I file single?
The issue is not whether your ex-wife can file charges- she can't. She could report you. You need to check to see if your second marriage is valid.
Any wife can file for divorce in any state, any time - in accordance with that state's laws regarding "reason" for wanting the divorce. I think a spouse in prison is a good reason. With "no fault" divorce common in most states, you don't need a reason, just the money to pay the attorney!
