I suspect you mean if one of you didn't have withholding? It is an option to file jointly or seperately. Any estimated payments, whether done quarterly by the self employed /not employer withheld party, or by the others withholding...any made by either, is applicable to the joint return. Any penalties and interest for underpayment of estimated tax is applicable the same way.
No, just because you get married does not mean you have to file jointly. You can always file separately. Hope this helped.
the answer is yes, Yes mother and daughter can file bankruptcy jointly and also you and your husband will file bankruptcy jointly is still accepted as long as its not same sex marriage.
There is no time limit. If you are married during the tax year, you can file jointly.
Yes
no you can file seperately.
My soon to be ex has changed his legal address for his W-2 form, now he wants to file jointly with me. Can we file jointly if we have different legal addresses? The Separation Agreement was filed November 26, 2010.
You can file your federal taxes jointly if you are married. Even if your spouse is unemployed, filing jointly means he or she is still responsible for any outstanding taxes due should you not pay.
I don't think you can file jointly with a non spouse, however if one of you is not working, can be a dependent of the other.
No you do not have to file unless someone is claiming you as a dependent. Then file jointly with them.
No. Filing jointly is an election. It may, or may not, be beneficial. If you question the accuracy of what he is reporting, or if he is...as you are required to file your own return no matter what, it is better to do so separately. If you are in a same-sex marriage, then you can file jointly on your federal taxes, but you can only file jointly on your state taxes if your state has legalized same-sex marriage.
no
If you are married
