You have two options:
1) Married - Filing Jointly
2) Married - Filing Separately
Single is no longer an option for you.
Also, Married - Filing Separate returns do not qualify for EIC.

If you're married as of the end of the year, you can't file as single - your choices are filing jointly, or married filing separately. And if you file separately, you aren't eligible for EIC.

Technically, you file whatever you were at the end of the year. You can file married filing jointly or married filing seperate. if you file married filing seperate, you cannot get the earned income credit. at least this is how it was when i went to tax school.

NO!
That's Cheating. You will be breaking the law. If you ever do qualify for EIC in the future and you are caught cheating, the IRS can disallow EIC for 10 years as a penalty!
