On your w4 form you use the single setting for withholding. This is just for a math equation to make sure enough is withheld. It is not selecting a filing status.

When you file your tax return, the 1040, you file as joint.

You both select single, Both of you. You need to update your w4 too. Don't use married/spouse also works as way too many employers are messing that setting up.

Ok. Thank you . I'll have to verify me clicking "single" doesn't affect my other information in our mil pay system. Still shows "0" for exemptions. I'll have her select single on hers.
