I got married 12/31/06. I haven't gotten a new social security card yet though. My husband seems to think there were changes and we would have a problem filing jointly without it being changed. I can't find anything mentioning that though.
Will there be a problem or should we be fine? Thanks for any help!!! =o)

No problem, since you and your spouse fill in your social security numbers on the return.

You won't have a problem, but use the same name on your return as is on your social security card. If you try to use your new name on your return, but haven't changed it with social security, then an efile will reject and a paper filing could be questioned. But as long as you use your old name on the return, you can file jointly and not have a problem.

The only thing is that you need to file the name under which SS has your most current file. So, use your before you married name, but still indicate MFJ (hopefully).
MFJ is the best way to file.
Sometimes married couples don't file together because of old Student Loans, Child Support, etc. You can still file together only the Innocent Spouse would file the Innocent or Injured Spouse form along with Return to keep the innocent from being affected by the others tax debt.
good luck & happy marriage

If Social Security has updated your name in their files, you will be fine. If they have not, your return MAY be delayed. If you file a paper return. Attached a copy of your marriage license showing the name change to your return. That will save much of the time the IRS would spend investigating the discrepancy between your new name and the Social Security records.

No problem. The number is the same. Maybe add a note on your return. Do get the new card though.

It will not be a problem. Your number did not change just your last name.
