Get your taxes done using TurboTax

There is no such filing status as "married filing single."   If you are legally married your filing status choices are married filing jointly or married filing separately.   So...are you retiring from work as a teacher and then returning to work as a teacher----or will you be in some other profession?  It sounds like all you are doing is taking a month off.
