Re: filingstautes

Your marital status as of 12/31 determines your filing status. So if you were legally married when the ball dropped at midnight in Times Square, you can not file as a single individual. You will file using the status Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately.

If you have been separated from your spouse for at least the 2nd half of the year, and you have kids at home, you might be eligible to file as Head of Household.

I hope this answers your question.
