My fiance and I are getting married in the beginning of November and I heard if we're married before December 31, then we would be considered married the whole year.

That is correct. As long as a couple is married by December 31st, they are considered married for the entire year for tax purposes.

Consent, or loss of consent, isn't the genuine difficulty. Joint submitting, regardless of consent, is precisely prohibited after divorce. She would desire to record tax returns herself, with status "unmarried" (or "head of enjoyed ones", if she qualifies) if she has no longer remarried, or maybe though status is real if she has remarried, for each 300 and sixty 5 days after the 300 and sixty 5 days of the divorce. The IRS would be conscious that 2 returns have been filed, and inspect extra. After the IRS learns that they have got been now no longer married, it is going to comprehend that the "joint" returns have been unlawful, and could have been unlawful whether he had consent. Making any attempt to show the undertaking of "consent" is counterproductive.

So true!!! You get to make an 11,000 deduction on your return, and it will help you guys out quite a bit depending on when your parents last claimed

whatever your status is on Dec 31st is your status for the year
