Married Filing Taxes As Single

Question: I am 23 and got married in January 2007. For 2006 tax filing do I file Single or Married Filing Jointly?
I am 23 full time student who just got married in January 2007. The two questions I have for 2006 IRS Tax Filing are:
1. Do I file as Single (for yr 2006) or as Married filing jointly (Keep in mind I got married in January of 2007 & not in 2006).
2. If I can file as Single since I wasn’t married in 2006 can my parents claim me as a dependent and claim Earned Income Credit for me?
I request for genuine and honest answers as this is IRS related questions. Thanks in advance!!
Answer: You would file as single for 2006, for 2007 you would file as married next year
If your parents still meet all of the qualifications to claim you then they could.
