You have a better tax rate filing married. You can file married even if only one of you has an income.

Assuming that you have lived together at any time since the end of June your only options are Married Filing Jointly and Married Filing Separately.
Married Filing Jointly would be better than HoH anyway, so why would you possibly want to file that way??

You can only file HOH if you are considered unmarried at the end of the year AND you have a "qualifying" child. Just file a married return with your wife, its much better anyway.

you'll be single for HOH. you may document Married submitting Joint. Your earnings is subject to diminish tax expenditures, and you nonetheless get the EIC to your stepdaughter. you are able to marry as much as the final day of the three hundred and sixty 5 days, and as long because of the fact the date includes the three hundred and sixty 5 days "2006" in it, you're eligible to document Married submitting Joint.

No.... (assuming that you live together)
Married people have two options: Married-Filing Jointly or Married-Filing Separately. Jointly is usually better.
