If you got married after Jan 1, then you were still single for last year and have to still file single.

If you were married sometime last year, you can file married, or you can file married filing single. Normally you will get a better tax refund and deductions filing married.

Fr Chuck:

Actually, it's Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately.

Other than that, good post.
