It depends on your status at the end of the year. If you were divorced any time before midnight on Dec. 31. You cant file as married. Of if you're pronounced man and wife at 11:59:59 pm, shout Happy New Year at 12:00 and kiss, you're married for the previous year in the eyes of the IRS. Length of time doesnt matter. Its your status when the clock strikes midnight on Dec. 31.

If you were married on 12/31/06, you file married. If you were single on that date you file single.

If the 10 months included all of December 31, then yes, you have to file as married. Otherwise, you can't.
So if the 10 months you were married were Jan-Oct, then no - if the months were March-Dec, then yes.

You have to file married if you were married on Dec. 31, single if you were not. It doesn't matter how much of the year you were married, Dec. 31 is all that matters.

Brian is right. I was married on December 29th five years ago, and it would have saved us money to file as single, but we had to file as married.
