Hi Smac224,
I agree with the answer already given. earlier. Unless there are definite reasons not to file a joint return, i.e default student loans, child support owed, and other debts that your spouse maybe obligated to pay, The Married Filing Jointly status provides the most effective way of filing your return.
Goodluck to you
