<prompt> Human: Like the title says. When filling wed file together me as head of household?, spouse wouldnt have any income for 2016 taxes. I started my new job January 19 making 110k.  <response>: December.If you get married sometime in December, 2016... youd be able to claim you are married for the entire 2016 tax year.If you didnt get married until January, you could only claim marital status for the 2017 tax year.
