What do you mean medical info? Does she have medical expenses that you need to deduct?

You should know you have some options how to file your tax return.
Someone who was legally married as of 12/31/2017 could file as married jointly, married separately, or head of household (again, if he or she meets the qualifications). But they couldn't file as single or qualifying widow(er).
Filing jointly will give you a bigger refund or fewer taxes due. When you file separately, your tax rate is higher, and you won't be able to claim some credits. 

If you paid tuition and fees, you might be entitled to the following Education credits:
1.  Education expenses may be acceptable for one of the education credits:
a.  American Opportunity Credit (AOC) or
b.  Lifetime learning credit.
3.  Education expenses may be eligible for an above-the-line tuition and fees deduction. What is the Tuition and Fees Deduction?

Hope its help.
