claiming Significant other on Taxes

[LeftCoastLady 441]

Ok, good to know... Thanks!

If we have time, I'll have him figure out the two mock tax returns... if not, we'll stick to the original plan

You can visit a site like TurboTax and use their free calculator. It's not exact (as it doesn't take into any account the various credits/deductions available), but will give you a rough idea. If you marry in December 2012, it's as if you've been married the entire year, so you'll get the tax benefit from that vs. having to wait until 2014 when it's time to file the Tax Year 2013 return.

The IRS website also has a withholding calculator that can also give you an estimate of your tax return/payment for 2012.

We are getting married this Saturday, Jan 26th (yay!). Does that mean I should file as single since I was single all of 2012? Also, would he have to file taxes even though he didn't work yet (has only been here a month)? I know this is not a website to ask all my tax questions but I figured you guys know your stuff I want to get my taxes done as soon as possible for AOS. Thank you!!!

You were single for all of 2012 so yes you file as single. The taxes you file are for last year. I assume your fiance did not work in 2012? Was he even here?
