Get your taxes done using TurboTax
It depends on what changed for your situation during the year. No matter what, you will file one return for the whole year.
Typically, you use the appropriate filing status for the year based on your marital status as of the last day of the year. So, if you got married during the year, you could file Married Filing Joint or Married Filing Separate.
If you were divorced, then you would file Single or Head of Household.
If you were widowed during the year, then you can choose Qualifying Surviving Spouse, which gives you tax benefits of filing jointly.
