Filing Married for the first time and calculating housing expenses

My husband and I were just married in May. When I calculate housing expenses for the year if we are filing jointly, can I add both of our housing expenses from living in separate households Jan - April or can we only claim mine?

Know the answer? Face the same situation? Please post your answer or comment by using the "comment" link below. Thank you!

Calculating Housing Expenses

You would ONLY calculate the housing expenses of the person who had the officially-approved housing allowance.
