Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Harry and Sally were married before the end of the tax year, so they are considered married for the entire year for tax purposes. As a married couple, they can choose to file a joint tax return or file separately, but their income for the entire year would still be reported on a joint return if they choose to file jointly.
