Married Filing Jointly

   Also found in: Acronyms 0.02 sec.
Married Filing Jointly
A situation in which a married couple files a single tax return. Married persons usually file jointly if only one spouse makes the majority of the income; if both spouses make a significant income, filing jointly may be more complicated than it is worth. When a married couple files jointly, each spouse is completely responsible for the tax liability.

Married Filing Jointly
A filing status that can be used by taxpayers who are married at the end of the tax year and not legally separated under a final decree of divorce or separate maintenance. The income, deductions, and credits of both spouses are entered on a joint return.
