Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you are legally married and living together in 2024 then you can only file your tax return as either Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately.  You would want to file as Married Filing Jointly even if one spouse had little or no income.  You receive the highest Standard Deduction.  You would enter your daughter as your child as a dependent on the tax return when filing as MFJ.
