How do I file with my husband?

[Marketstar · Accepted solution]

If you were married on December 31, 2017, you should file Married Filing Joint.

Married Filing Joint generally yields a better tax result than Married Filing Separate even if one spouse earns little or no taxable income.

Generally, filing jointly will give you a bigger refund or less taxes due. When you file separately, your tax rate is higher and you won't be able to claim a number of deductions and credits:

See Is it better for a married couple to file jointly or separately?

As you walk through the personal  information section, after entering information about you and your spouse, you will be asked if you were married on December 31, 2017. Click Married(if true)

You will then be asked if you want to file a return together with your spouse. Click yes.
