If you are married, you cannot (and should not) file single. Your choices are Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately. The only time I usually see a Married Filing Separate return is either if the spouses, as a rule, just keep all of their finances separate, or if one of them owes taxes. Remember if you owe taxes the IRS will keep your refunds to apply to that balance due, so if only one of you owes taxes you can file Married Filing Separately and the one of you that does not owe taxes can still get their refunds. Also if you are going to owe on a tax return and file that return as Married Filing Separate, and then later die, your widow will not be responsible for the taxes.

When filing taxes as married filing jointly on a W-4 form, both spouses combine their income and deductions on one tax return. This can result in lower tax rates and higher deductions. When filing as single on a W-4 form, only one person's income and deductions are considered, which may result in higher tax rates and lower deductions.
