My husband and I got married Nov. 4, 2006. Our daughter was born June 30, 2006. I am a housewife and don't bring any income into the family and he is our sole supporter. Can we file a joint return?

Since you were legally married prior to December 31, 2006 you only have two options, Married Filing Jointly (MFJ) and Married Filing Separately (MFS). The later MFS rarely is advisable because most of the credits go away of are reduced. The only exception is when one spouse has lingering tax liabilities or disproportionate medical bills. Therefore you should file MFJ and claim your daughter as a dependent and for child tax credit as if she had been there all 12 months. You may have other credits due to your daughter so you might wish to consult with a tax professional. Congratulations on your marriage and daughter!!

No, the preparer isn't to blame for any fee. The preparer is almost like a messenger; now to not blame for the message; basically places it down in black and white. There will be no preparers who would do returns if such replaced into the case as there is too a lot information that receives missed or not presented or lost or maybe if. human beings ignore that they owe toddler help or student loans or some thing which will offset a reimbursement. Or, human beings ignore about promoting stocks or bonds; or, the interest under no circumstances receives to them so as that they forget it and it isn't lined interior the go back. an excellent preparer will continually practice a go back and then ask the widely used to sleep on the problem and word in the experience that they save in options some thing they have forgotten; and that is astounding how a lot information is extra the subsequent day. I continually save in options an previous declaring, "Do it good or do it over".

Yes file jointly...You have no income... But usually the spouse who changes there last name needs be sure to check Social Security. Tax returns may require hyphen EX: Joan Smith-Jones
Also make sure you have the social security number of your new daughter. Sometimes people wait and it holds up the return.
Also if you had any moving expenses, or out of pocket cost in the delivery of your baby.Depending on your income and situation these may be some of the often overlooked deductions.

If you are married before the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve, you are considered married for the whole year, so yes, you would be elligible to file a joint return. Don't forget the deduction for your child.

You not only can file jointly, you should. You'll pay less taxes than you would if he files as married filing separately, the only other option.
