I have a question about filing separately and filing jointly. If my wife filed separately already on her tax return, would I be able to file my tax return jointly? So I can qualify for all the tax benefits such as education etc.
No, you cannot file a joint tax return if your spouse filed as Married Filing Separately. You can only file your tax return as Married Filing Separately or if you are eligible as Head of Household.
See this TurboTax support FAQ for Head of Household when married - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/married/help/can-a-married-person-claim-head-of-household-filing-s...
