Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I am following up on my previous answer because I noticed something about your question I did not address.  I see in your question you were asking whether you should file jointly, separately or as a dependent.  You are not able to claim a spouse as a dependent.  The filing status choices for married people are married filing jointly or married filing separately.  There are other choices if you are married but not living together but that does not seem to be the case here.
