You have a choice between married filing jointly and married filing separately. You can no longer file as a single individual even if you got married on December 31st and were single for most of the year.

You are allowed to file a joint return for the year you get married. You don't have to - you have the option of filing as married filing separately, but it will almost always cost you more in total taxes between you to file that way. Depending on your personal circumstances, it could be just a few dollars more, or could be quite a bit.

When you file your 2007 taxes. The key date of the year is Dec 31st "What is your martial status on that date" even you actually got married on May 1st. Do not file married file separately becuase it is the least desirable filing status to use. File "Married Filing Jointly" before April 15, 2008.

You never "have to" file joint taxes just because you are married.
You can choose between married filing separately or married filing jointly
