LB is correct.
Her primary options are Married Filing Jointly (MFJ) and Married Filing Separately (MFS).
A very unlikely (but possible) option is Head of Household (HOH). Married individuals can be considered unmarried for HOH if all of the following apply:
- The taxpayer lived separate from his/her spouse for the last six months of the year (If you just got married in July, it's unlikely this is the case).Temporary absences are considered as time lived in the home.
- The taxpayer does not file MFJ
- The taxpayer paid over 1/2 of the cost of keeping up a home
- The taxpayer's home was the main home of the taxpayer's child, stepchild, or foster child for over 1/2 the tax year
- The taxpayer claims this child as a dependent, or the child's other parent claims the child as a dependent under the rules for children of divorced or separated parents.
