Got married last year & will be filling taxes for the 1st time being married...should I jointly or serperate?

You can file as married filing jointly (MFJ) or married filing separately. In most cases, it is better to file as MFJ. Read a href="http://taxipay.blo.com/2008/02/filing-status-for-married.html" rel="nofollow"http://taxipay.blo.com/2008/02/fili…/a
