If on the last day of the year, your divorce was not final yet, your choices are:
1) married filing jointly
2) married filing separately
3) head of household (if you did not live with your spouse AT ALL during the last six months of the year and you meet all of the other qualifications for head of household).
Filing as single is not an option.
What else can I help you with?
Who claims the children in the taxes after a divorce is final?
That issue is usually addressed in the divorce decree.
Is financial difficulty such as the marriage tax penalty a valid reason for getting a divorce?
No, that's just an excuse that is covering up the true reason for considering divorce. I thought married people got a break on taxes.
How is congress supposed to be funded?
Taxes.
I got married in October of 2014 but my wife is not a citizen Will I still be able to file my taxes as married?
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.
Do you have to file joint taxes if married?
No, married couples have the option to file their taxes jointly or separately.
Do you have to file your taxes together if married?
No, married couples have the option to file their taxes jointly or separately.
How much of the year do you have to be single to file as single on taxes?
If you are considered single for tax purpose when the year ends, you can file as single. Even if you get your final divorce decree at 11:59 pm on December 31, you can file as single. And, even if you are married, you don't HAVE to file jointly...you may use the "married filing separately status" (which is different than the "single" status)...and change it every year, at your election.
When you get remarried do you have to show proof of your prior divorce certificates?
I believe all [corporate] STATES require you to show divorce papers before they will issue you another certificate to get re-married. If they didn't require it, then people could be running around married to multiple wives/husbands, which would really mess the IRS up on how they would impose taxes on you.
Can I file as single on my taxes if I am married?
No, you cannot file as single on your taxes if you are married. You must file as either married filing jointly or married filing separately.
Can you move to Taxes and file for Divorce after one month?
Typically living in a state for a month does not establish the requisite residency that would allow you to file for divorce as opposed to filing in the state you got married. Times vary between 6 months and a year in order to be considered a resident.
Can I file my taxes separately if married?
Yes, married individuals have the option to file their taxes separately if they choose to do so.
Is it possible for me to file my taxes as married but separately?
Yes, it is possible for married individuals to file their taxes separately as "Married Filing Separately" instead of jointly.
