At the end of the year you were married. I''d file married, with your new married name.
And, Congratulations!![]()
Very interesting. We were thinking of filing separately since I''m in school.Date: 1/23/2009 5:39:16 PM

We went through this last year and our accountant told us that we could still file as single since we were not married the entire previous year. Apparently you don''t have to file married (filing jointly or separately) until you''ve been married the whole year. We were going to file as single if it made the most financial sense, but for us it didn''t and filing married (joint) was easiest. The accountant also told us that filing married but separate was the least advantageous financially (I don''t remember why).
