Spouses are NOT dependents. You file jointly with them if they qualify (SSAN or ITIN).
Children, parents, parents-in-law, and other nonspouse family members can be dependents. Never ever a spouse.

YES you can if filing jointly and you provided more than 50% of their support.
**And to the person giving bad ratings to people answering this question with yes, why don't you look it up on the internet or call you tax person. As long as the person meets the 5 tests you CAN claim them.
Here's a link ....one of these FAQ's tells you.

I dont think so... i believe she has to be disabled, blind for you to claim her as a dependent... you can use her in your standard deduction ...... married filing jointly deduction. Dependents are those under 17 or those who are dependent upon you.

If she's your dependent you can! Clarification: if no one else is claiming her as a dependent and she is not filing seperately and claiming herself. Check with a tax person though when it comes down to it.

No, but you can file a joint return with her even if she had no income. You will get the standard deduction (unless you itemize) as well as the personal exemptions for both of you.

You sure can. So long as you have been married at least one day for the year of 2006.
