Okay so if I get a job does it make more sense for me to file taxes married but separately or should we still just file together? or should I wait until tax season is over to get a job cause I know you don't get as much back if you're both working and we've planned to buy some things with tax money
When I lived in New York we filed once together and got $1,300 then every year after that I would get $7k-$8k and he would get like $2k so we kept it separate every year.
hmm really? @mommy99630 and @babes101116 we go through Jackson hewitt. turbo tax doesn't work since we're military and it's all fucked up and they don't get you barely anything back
I always file separate. We always get more money back separate than together.
In VA if you file separate neither can get earned income credit for your kids. I don't know how different other states are but I've always got more filing married and keeping our income lower. I own my own business and found though itemized is expensive and exhausting, it helped at the end of the year bring our income where it needed to be to get at least 4K back.
