Do we need marriage proof to file tax return together?

MinhT1 · ‎March 16, 2025

If you are married as of 12/31/2024, you can file Married filing jointly o Married filing Separately.

The IRS requires no proof of marriage at the time of filing. But you should be ready to provide any proof (such as a marriage certificate) if the IRS asks for it.
