    Married Twice

    Taxpayer's wife died during January 2006.

    In November 2006, he remarried.

    How does he file, and whom (if anyone) can he claim??

    Snags,

    He would file MFJ with the new wife and MFS for the deceased spouse. Thought this was the way, so I checked on pg. 23, Pub 17. It is.

      Or..

      He could file MFS -- but he'd list his new wife on his tax form. His current wife would then also MFS.

      Yes, the deceased woman gets MFS.
