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. For more information, go to www.irs.gov/formspubs for Publication 501 (Exemptions, Standard Deduction, and Filing Information).


How can i claim my husband as a dependent?

You don't claim a spouse as a dependent. If you are married you have only two option to legally file your taxes. These are Married Filing Joint and Married Filing Separately. Married Filing Jointly is where you file together and you don't file a spouse as a dependent but you still receive all benefits as if they were a dependent. You will get a higher Standard Deduction and get two exemptions plus any other dependents you may have. Married Filing Separately requires both of you to file the same way and each has to enter the other spouses social security number on their return. You can't file the spouse as a dependent this way.
