If you were married
at the end of the year, you can claim the married filing joint status.
For more
information, including who can be "considered married," please see
"Marital Status" beginning on page 5 of IRS Publication 501,
Dependents, Standard Deduction, and Filing Information.
Generally, the
filing status on your Oregon return must be the same as on your federal return
-- see "Filing Status" on page 18 of Publication
OR-17, Individual Income Tax Guide.
