No. Even if youโ€™re legally married on December 31, the IRS considers you married for that tax year.

That means your federal filing options are: Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately.

You donโ€™t get to choose single just because you were single for part of the year.

If your relationship status changed this year, your tax filing status needs to change too.

Want to know whether filing jointly or separately makes more sense for your situation? Schedule an appointment and letโ€™s talk it through.

Start with whatโ€™s fair for the work and realistic for your business.

A good college intern pay rate should account for:
โ€ข What similar businesses in your area are paying
โ€ข Whether the role requires special skills or education
โ€ข How much training and oversight the intern will need
โ€ข Whether your budget can support the role well

If youโ€™re bringing on an intern, the arrangement should focus on training, mentorship, and real learning experience, while also giving your business a better way to build future talent.
