As a same sex married couple, can we file as a married couple legally?

I am married to my same sex spouse for the entire year of 2016. Can we file a joint federal return if we are legally married?

Yes, you can. Since you were married as of Dec 31 (which is when filing status is determined), your choices to file are Married Filing Jointly or Separately for federal and state tax purposes.
