Filing Taxes Separately

Filing Taxes Separately - Married Filing Separately

Filing your taxes separately from your spouse is named "Married Filing Separately" by the IRS. Generally, it is better to file taxes jointly with your spouse because you pay more combined tax if filing individually. Married couples filing jointly usually pay lower combined taxes.

Reasons for filing separately from your spouse could be related to medical expenses, privacy, personal casualty losses or other factors. You should consult with an tax professional regarding your tax return options.

When filing taxes separately, you can use either the 1040 Tax Form or 1040A Tax Form.
