Marriage effects your tax filing status no matter where you are. If you get hitched at 11:59 on 12/31 then you're technically married for the entire year. If you're worried about it than file "married filing seperately".

As long as you are married anytime before the end of the year (12/31....23:59:59), you are entitled to filing a joint tax return, which woill almost always result in a lower combined federal income tax bill...kind of like getting a wedding present from the US government.

Your 2 choices are Married Filing Jointly and Married Filing Seperately for the tax year in which you got married. MFJ is beneficial as your standard deduction will be maximized.

Getting married anytime within a calender year allows you to file a joint return for the full year. You are taxed a a different more advantage rate.

Yep Most that get married on or before Dec 31st save a lot in taxes. Singles are penalized with the highest rate of tax every time.
