Tax Time for Two: Simplifying the Process
Getting married means merging more than just your lives; it also means navigating tax filing together. Whether you’re filing jointly or separately, here’s what you need to know to make tax season smoother.
Filing Status: Jointly or Separately?
Married couples can choose to file their taxes jointly or separately. Filing jointly often provides better deductions and tax credits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit. However, filing separately might be beneficial if one spouse has significant medical expenses or other deductions tied to income. Use the Life Planner app to calculate and track your family’s deductions effortlessly.
