I called the IRS and waited on hold for 20 minutes, probably would be a lot worse waiting. Anyways because she left my residence in April and I was paying more than half of cost for more than half of the year I have to file single which probably means I'm going to get screwed on my taxes. I hope that filing 0 exemptions will help that out. Thanks guys for the info!
