You CAN but you may lose some deductions. I would definately check with a CPA - they can advise you as to what works best for YOU.

Yes you can, but I would consult a tax preparer. You cannot use the "single" status on your return if you are married on December 31. You can use the "Married filing separately", but this is the HIGHEST tax rate you would pay.

File as married filing separately - yes, you can, but it might cost you extra taxes compared to filing jointly.
File as single or head of household - no.

Filing separately still does not remove the "marriage penalty." It ended up not being worth it for me and my wife.

Caution if you are in a community property state. You have to report half of his and he has to report half of yours.
