You must file married or married filing seperate.

I've been married for 10yrs and I've never filed jointly.

Lying on your taxes is a very, very bad idea.

Don't do it, file married filing separately.

Depends.
I'm married, but filed Head of Household. As far as the IRS is concerned, I am "considered unmarried" for tax purposes. The ex(to be) and I have been living completely separate lives since December 30, 2011. You are "considered unmarried" and can file married, HoH IF you have lived apart for 6+months of the year, and were living apart on December 31, 2012.

Why lie?? just file married filing seperately....

If your husband was out of the house the last six months plus of 2012 and you are claiming dependant children you can claim head of household (if you are providing more than half of the children's support yourself and are not getting it from other sources like public assistance).

Otherwise you must file as married filing seperately or you must file a combined return and use married filing jointly.

I filed single. I married a friend of mine, it was a false marriage for health benefits, he was in the military. We lived in different states, etc.. I went to H&R block and he actually filed me Single. I told him he situation. And they still put my health insurance as his and used his SS#.

I have a child too. So I still got all my EIC and stuff.

You don't have to be legally divorced in order to be considered unmarried under IRS rules. If you were separated for the latter half of the year then you can file as such, otherwise, you have to file as married.
