The federal government (nor any state government that I can think of) does not recognize plural marriages.
If you are legally married to a person, you cannot file jointly with a different person. You must either file jointly with your legal spouse or file as "married filing separately." If you did not live with your legal spouse at all during the last six months of the year and meet all of the other requirements for filing as Head of Household, you may do so. You may not file as single.
If you marry a person who is already married to another, for tax purposes you are a single person and cannot file jointly. Even if the other person gets a divorce, the government does not recognize your marriage unless you get married again after the divorce is final.
If any of these marriages are same-sex marriages, remember that the federal government does not recognize the existence of same-sex marriages.
