Wives are not claimed as normal dependents are.
You file a Joint or Separate return. If you file a Joint return, there is a personal exemption for you, the standard deduction is higher, and the tax table is more advantageous.
If you had little or no income 2007, it would be best to file a Joint return with your husband.

ok, your hubby isn't a retard for claiming 9 on his w-4. I declare 7, my hubby claims 3. that's merely he and that i, alongside with our 2 toddlers! We try this by using fact we opt for the $ quite than letting the IRS have it. Claiming 7 has the comparable tax ramifications of 10. We bypass long style, as we've very own loan pastime, and a number of of alternative write offs. I fairly have a feeling you're utilising H & R Block or some residing house answer tax application. do not do your very own taxes once you have a number of deductions! bypass see a stunning CPA. it would desire to fee a splash you $one hundred seventy five-250 yet is fairly properly worth understanding what you could and could not do and maximizing your return.

If you file jointly, then you are both claimed on that one, joint return that you file together, unless someone else (other than the two of you) can claim one or both of you.
If you file separately, then neither of you can claim the other.
For this reason (and some others not related to your question), file jointly.

A spouse can never be claimed as a dependent. You can file a joint return and get an exemption and standard deduction for each of you though - they aren't "his" taxes, they are yours together. You could file a joint return whether you had any income at all this year.

If you are married, your filing Status can only be Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately.
You can't claim your spouse as Dependent. Your spouse is never your dependent. But you can file as Married Filing Jointly. Then you get one extra exemption deduction of $3,400 and one extra standard deduction of $5,350. Thus your total deductions (if you don't itemize) are $17,500.

Even if you did not work this year your husband should claim you.

Technically, your husband does not claim you on your taxes.
If you file a joint tax return, then you both get the personal exemption on the same tax return.
If you file separate tax returns, then you will get your personal exemption on your tax return and he will get his personal exemption on his tax return.
Is there a specific reason that you don't want to file a tax return with him?

He can claim you even if you had worked all year. It's a joint tax return that combines both wages/taxes.
