Married under 6 months can you still file single?

If you are considered married at the end of the year, you can never file single. If you don't want to file jointly with your spouse, you can choose "married filing separately." Under rare circumstances where you have not lived with your spouse at all during the last six months of the year, your spouse is not returning, and you meet the other qualifications for head of household, you may file as Head of Household. Frequently it's better to file as married filing jointly though...especially if one has a high and the other a low income.

You cannot file as single. You can file as married filing jointly or married filing separately.

Should common law with children file taxes jointly?

If your common law marriage is recognized in the state where you now live, or in the state where the relationship began, you are considered married for tax purposes. Assuming that you are living with your spouse, you may file as Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately. You may not file as Single or Head of Household.


Are you allowed to file married filing jointly if you are not married?

The federal government (nor any state government that I can think of) does not recognize plural marriages. If you are legally married to a person, you cannot file jointly with a different person. You must either file jointly with your legal spouse or file as "married filing separately." If you did not live with your legal spouse at all during the last six months of the year and meet all of the other requirements for filing as Head of Household, you may do so. You may not file as single. If you marry a person who is already married to another, for tax purposes you are a single person and cannot file jointly. Even if the other person gets a divorce, the government does not recognize your marriage unless you get married again after the divorce is final. If any of these marriages are same-sex marriages, remember that the federal government does not recognize the existence of same-sex marriages.
