@chloengle I'm sorry. I was away a couple of days. You wouldn't be allowed to file jointly in 2018 if you married Jan. 1. The Marriage Certificate provided by your city might have had a 2018 date because you obtained it prior to the wedding, but it's not official until the official presiding the ceremony signs, which he/she wouldn't have done until the wedding on January 1.
