You're married, so you need to file as married.





You can file as MFJ or MFS. MFJ usually works out better for most married couples. Try it both ways, and see which works out best for you and your husband.How should I file taxes if we onaly been married 5 months?
If you were married as of 12/31/08, you file as married, either a joint return or as married filing separately. Someone filing as MFS is not eligible for EIC.
